Answer:

The work done on the wagon is 37 joules.

Explanation:

Given that,

The force applied by Charlie to the right, F = 37.2 N

The force applied by Sara to the left, F' = 22.4 N

We need to find the work done on the wagon after it has moved 2.50 meters to the right. The net force acting on the wagon is :

F_n=F-F'

F_n=37.2-22.4

F_n=14.8\ N

Work done on the wagon is given by the product of net force and displacement. It is given by :

W=F_n\times d

W=14.8\ N\times 2.5\ m

W = 37 Joules

So, the work done on the wagon is 37 joules. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

Explanation:

Rightwards force, F1 = 37.2 N

Leftwards force, F2 = 22.4 N

distance, d = 2.5 m

Net force, F = F1 - F2

F = 37.2 - 22.4

F = 14.8 N rightwards

Work done, W = force x distance

W = 14.8 x 2.5

W = 37 J

Ronch [10]

Answer:

The first case requires more force to spin de bucket.

Explanation:

As we know, the centripetal force is directly proportional to the mass, the equation is given by:

F_{c}=ma_{c}

The first case has a quarter more water than the second case, therefore the first case requires more force to spin de bucket.

I hope it helps you!

Application - You have two objects that you want to push the same distance (5 meters) across the floor. The objects have differe
Mamont248 [21]

I see you're in Middle School, so I've got a hunch that they want you
to say "the dresser because it has more mass".  But that's a poor
answer, to a poor question.

The fact is that there's no way to tell.

The force it takes to move either object across the floor does NOT really
depend on just its mass.  It depends on both the object's mass AND the
friction between the object and the floor.  And THAT depends on the shape
of the feet where they touch the floor, and what kind of material the feet and
the floor are made of.

So it seems to me that we really don't have enough information to answer
the question with.

But again, I suspect that the answer they want is "the dresser because
it has more mass".

Hunter-Best [27]
If it starts at rest the initial velocity is 0.
For an acceleration, a, and time, t, the velocity is v=at. Since at t=4, v=7, then a=7/4=1.75m/s^2
