13788 J is required to finish the work.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of lawnmower is 20 kg

Force = 30 N

$\text { Angle }(\theta)=40^{\circ}$

Displacement ( distance moved )= 20m

The force of 30N is applied along the direction of motion and was applied for the whole 20 m.

The formula of work done for one pass is

$\text { Work done }=\text { force } \times \text { displacement } \times \cos \theta$

Substituting the given data into the formula,

$W=30 \times 20 \times \cos 40^{\circ}$

$\mathrm{W}=600 \times \cos 40^{\circ}$

$\mathrm{W}=600 \times 0.766$

W = 459.6 J

Work done for one pass = 459.6J

Now, work done for 30 passes is calculated by multiplying the work done for one pass into 30.

$\text { Then the work done for } 30 \text { passes is } 459.61 \times 30=13788 \mathrm{J}$

Work is done by the person pushing the mower to finish the work is 13788 J.

Carla holds a ball 1.5 m above the ground. Daniel, leaning out of a car window, also holds a ball 1.5 m above the ground. Daniel

spayn [35]

Answer:

Carla

Explination: As Daniel's ball is dropped from the car moving at 40 mph in a horizontal direction, at the time the ball is dropped it is also moving at 40 mph in a horizontal direction due to inertia, a property of mass causing resistance to change, Daniel's ball will continue to move in a horizontal direction even after being dropped along with falling due to gravity. Daniel's ball will then fall in a projectile motion curve of sorts which will cause an overall velocity to not be straight down causing it not to fall to the ground as quickly as Carla's ball.

Sorry for the long explanation

Four point charges of magnitudes +3q, -q, +2q, and -4q are arranged in the corners of a square of side length L. The charge -q c

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

d) 0 V

Explanation:

It can be showed that the potential due to a point charge q, to a distance d from the charge, can be expressed as follows:

$V = \frac{k*q}{r}$

where k = $\frac{1}{4*\pi*\epsilon0} = 9e9 N*m2/C2$

As the potential is an scalar, and is linear with the charge, we can apply the superposition principle, which means that we can find the potential due to one of the charges, as if the other were not present.

By symmetry, all four charges are at the same distance from the center, so we can write the total potential, as follows:

$V = \frac{k}{d} ( q1 + q2 + q3 + q4) (1)$

where d, is the semi-diagonal of the square, that we can find applying Pythagorean theorem, as follows:

$d = \sqrt{\frac{L^{2}}{4} + \frac{L^{2}}{4} } = L*\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

Replacing by the values in (1) we have:

$V = \frac{9e9N*m2/C2}{\frac{L}{2}*\sqrt{2} }* ( +3q -q + 2q + -4q) = 0 V$

which is equal to the option d).
