A shopper pushes a grocery cart 41.9 m on level ground, against a 44.5 N frictional force. The cart has a mass of 16.3 kg. He pu

shes in a direction 17.5º below the horizontal. If the initial velocity was 1.9 m/s, and final speed was 12.6 m/s. What is the work done by the pushing force in unit of Joule?

Answer:

Fp = 26.59[N]

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using the principle of work and energy conservation, i.e. the final kinetic energy of a body will be equal to the sum of the forces that do work on the body plus the initial kinetic energy.

We need to identify the initial data:

d = distance = 41.9[m]

Ff = friction force = 44.5 [N]

m = mass = 16.3 [kg]

v1 = 1.9 [m/s]

v2 = 12.6 [m/s]

The kinetic energy at the beginning can be calculated as follows:

E_{k1}= \frac{1}{2}*m*v_{1}^2 \\E_{k1}= \frac{1}{2}*16.3*(1.9)_{1}^2\\E_{k1}= 29.42[J]

And the final kinetic energy.

E_{k2}= \frac{1}{2}*m*v_{2}^2 \\E_{k2}= \frac{1}{2}*16.3*(12.6)^2\\E_{k2}= 1294[J]

The work is performed by two forces, the friction force and the pushing force, it is important to clarify that these forces are opposite in direction.

The weight of the cart also performs a work in the direction of movement since the plane is tilted down, this component of the weight of the cart must be parallel to the surface of the inclined plane.

W_{1-2}=-(44.5*41.9)+(16.3*9.81*sin(17.5)*41.9)+(F_{p}*41.9) \\therefore:\\E_{k1}+W_{1-2}=E_{k2}\\29.42+150.16+(F_{p}*41.9)=1294\\F_{p}=1114.42/41.9\\F_{p}=26.59[N]

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Option B. 2.8 s

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial velocity (u) = 27 m/s

Angle of projection (θ) = 30

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time of flight (T) =?

The time of flight of the ball can be obtained as follow:

T = 2uSineθ / g

T = 2 × 27 × Sine 30 / 9.8

T = 2 × 27 × 0.5 / 9.8

T = 27 / 9.8

T = 2.8 s

Therefore, time of flight of the ball is 2.8 s

Mama L [17]

Answer:

The answer is "In this information, Enzo will be confident that if any fertilizer is required only for plants".

Explanation:

The Beans plants were members of the group of legumes. Legume flowering plant under which the roots form nodules. These nodules require a specific bacterium called bacteria, which fix nitrogen. Its bacterium transforms nitrogen from the atmosphere into the soil's nitrate. Consequently, for some of its growth, beans do not require fertilizer.

What is the voltage of a motor that draws a current of 2 a and produces 240 w of power?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
Here Power = Voltage * Current

So, Voltage = Power/Current

Put the values, 

V = 240/2

V = 120 V

In short, Your Final Answer would be: 120 Volts

Hope this helps!
