Answer:

2324 J

Explanation:

The formula for work is:

W=F*d

where F is the force applied, and d is the distance moved, in this case d=10.3m

and we need to find F.

Since the crate is not moving up or down, we conclude that the <u>normal force must be equal to the weight </u>of the object:

N=w

where N is the normal force and w is the weight, which is: w=mg, where g is the gravitational acceleration g=9,81m/s^2 and m is the mass m=46kg.

---------

Thus the normal force is:

N=mg

Now, the force due to the friction is defined as:

f=\mu N=\mu mg

where \mu is the coefficient of friction, \mu =0.5

So, for the crate to move, the force applied must be equal to the frictional force:

F=f\\F=\mu mg

And now that we know the force we can calculate the work:

W=F*d\\W=\mu mg*d

substituting known values:

W=(0.5)(46kg)(9.81m/s^2)(10.3)\\W=2324J

Answer:

2321.62 J

Explanation:

From the question,

F = μR..................... Equation 1

Where, F = Frictional force, μ = coefficient of static friction, R = normal reaction

R = mg.................................. Equation 2

Where, m = mass of of the crate, g = acceleration due to gravity

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

F = mgμ........................ Equation 3

Given: m = 46 kg, g = 9.8 m/s², μ = 0.5

F = 46(9.8)(0.5)

F = 225.4 N

Also,

W = F×d.................. Equation 3

Work = Work done, F = Force, d = distance

Given: F = 225.4 N, d = 10.3 m

W = 225.4×10.3

W = 2321.62 J

Which of the following instruments is not typically an electronic instrument, but could be enhanced with the help of microphones
TiliK225 [7]
The synthesizer, the Theremin, and the electronic organ are totally electronic
instruments.  They don't make any sound at all without electronic circuits and
electric power.

The acoustic guitar is not inherently an electronic instrument.  It can be made
louder with microphones, and given special effects with other electronic stuff.
Whether any of this is actually an 'enhancement' is open to debate.

Electrical wire with a diameter of .5 cm is wound on a spool with a radius of 30 cm and a height of 24 cm.
kow [346]

Answer:

a)   # lap = 301.59 rad , b)   L = 90.48 m

Explanation:

a) Let's use a direct proportions rule (rule of three). If one turn of the wire covers 0.05 cm, how many turns do you need to cover 24 cm

          # turns = 1 turn (24 cm / 0.5 cm)

         # laps = 48 laps

Let's reduce to radians

        # laps = 48 laps (2 round / 1 round)

       # lap = 301.59 rad

b) Each lap gives a length equal to the length of the circle

          L₀ = 2π R

          L = # turns L₀

          L = # turns 2π R

          L = 48 2π 30

          L = 9047.79 cm

          L = 90.48 m

A father racing his son has 1/2 the kinetic energy of the son, who has 1/3 the mass of the father. The father speeds up by 1.4 m
BaLLatris [955]

Answer: a) 0.78 m/s b) 1.57 m/s

Explanation:

M = father's mass


m = son's mass = M/3


V = father's initial speed


v = son's initial speed

(1/2)MV^2 = (1/2)*(1/2)*m v^2


M*V^2 = (1/2)(M/3)v^2


V^2/v^2 = 1/4


V = v/2

Second equation:


(1/2)M*(V + 1.4)^2 = (1/2)m*v^2


= (1/2)*(M/3)*(3V)^2


cancel out the M's and (1/2)'s


(V + 1.4)^2 = 3V^2


V^2 + 2.8V + 1.96 = 3V^2


V^2 -1.4V -0.98 = 0

V^2 = 0.98/0.4 = 2.45

V = 1.57

Monochromatic light with wavelength 588 nm is incident on a slit with width 0.0351 mm. The distance from the slit to a screen is
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

A. Using

Sinစ= y/ L = 0.013/2.7= 0.00481

စ=0.28°

B.here we use

Alpha= πsinစa/lambda

= π x (0.0351)sin(0.28)/588E-9m

= 9.1*10^-2rad

C.we use

I(စ)/Im= (sin alpha/alpha) ²

So

{= (sin0.091/0.091)²

= 3*10^-4
