Answer:

A. = 26.11kJ

B = 0N

Explanation:

Mass = 86.2kg

Distance (s) = 32m

Angle of the slope = 15°

a. Work done due to gravity

W = force * distance * angle of displacement

W = F * S * cos θ

Force = mass * acceleration due to gravity

Force = 86.2 * 9.8

Force = 844.76N

Work = 844.76 * 32 * cos 15

Work = 26111.21J

Work = 26.11kJ

b. The workdone by the normal force is equal to zero since the normal force is perpendicular to the displacement.

Hence the normal force does not act on the body.

N = 0N

What is the momentum of a 1.5 * 10 ^ 3 - kil kilogram car as it travels at 30. meters per second due east for 60. seconds ?
serg [7]

Answer:

45000kgm/s due east

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the car  = 1.5 x 10³kg

Velocity  = 30m/s

Time taken  = 60s

Unknown:

Momentum  = ?

Solution:

Momentum is the quantity of motion a body possess,

     Momentum  = mass x velocity

So;

  Momentum  = 1.5 x 10³ x 30  = 45000kgm/s due east

What happens to an object’s velocity if there is work done by a friction force? Why?
Lilit [14]

Answer:

It lowers.

Explanation:

Friction causes energy to be converted to heat and released therefore lowering the energy the object has going towards it's velocity.
