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]

For this problem, let's use the approach of dimensional analysis. This technique is done by cancelling out like units that appear both on the numerator and the denominator side. As a result, this technique will let you know that your final answer conforms to what parameter is asked. In this case, the final answer should be in kJ. We use the conversion: 1000 cal = 4.184 kJ The solution is as follows:

<span>6.95×10</span>⁵<span> cal * 4.184 kJ/1000 cal = 2,907.88 kJ</span>

What is the relationship between pho Thanh energy and the color of light
AysviL [449]

Answer:

Red photons have the least amount of energy

Explanation:

The relationship between the photon energy and the color of light is given by:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where

E is the energy

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength (which determines the color of light)

As we see from the equation, energy and wavelength are inversely proportional: this means that the longer the wavelength, the lower the energy, and viceversa.

Among the colors in the visible light spectrum, red is the color with longest wavelength (620-750 nm) and violet is the color with shortest wavelength (380-450 nm). This means that red photons have the least amount of energy, while violet photons have the greatest amount of energy.

So the correct choice is

Red photons have the least amount of energy

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:4-strikes the plane at same time as the other body

Explanation:

Given

If both bodies is falling on a horizontal plane and second body is given an acceleration in horizontal direction then it does not change the time to reach the Horizontal Plate as there is no change in vertical direction.

Horizontal acceleration will give only horizontal range and horizontal velocity.
