Question: A loader sack of total mass
is l000 grams falls down from
the floor of a lorry 200 cm high
Calculate the workdone by the
gravity of the load.
Answer:
19.6 Joules
Explanation:
Applying
W = mgh........................ Equation 1
Where W = Workdone by gravity on the load, m = mass of the loader sack, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity
From the question,
Given: m = 1000 grams = (1000/1000) kilogram = 1 kg, h = 200 cm = 2 m
Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²
Substitute these values into equation 1
W = (1×2×9.8)
W = 19.6 Joules
Hence the work done by gravity on the load is 19.6 Joules

Answer:

Explanation:
By Snell's law we know at the left surface




now we have


now on the other surface we know that
angle of incidence = 

so again we have

so we have


also we know that


By solving above equation we have

Answer:
The friction force acting on the object is 7.84 N
Explanation:
Given;
mass of object, m = 4 kg
coefficient of kinetic friction, μk = 0.2
The friction force acting on the object is calculated as;
F = μkN
F = μkmg
where;
F is the frictional force
m is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration due to gravity
F = 0.2 x 4 x 9.8
F = 7.84 N
Therefore, the friction force acting on the object is 7.84 N
