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

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

3) Dims in, Brightens out

Explanation:

The relationship between the inductance of a coil and the current is inverse.

As the rod is thrusted into the solenoid, the inductance increases, which in turn decreases the current and the bulb gets dimmer. This is also because some magnetic force is drawn away from the solenoid and the battery.

When the rod is removed, the inductance of the solenoid decreases, the current increases, and the bulb becomes brighter.

A negative charge of -2.0 C and a positive charge of 3.0 C are separated by 80 m. What is the electrostatic force between the tw
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

1. 8437500 N

2. The force between the two charges is attractive.

Explanation:

1. Determination of the force between the two charges.

Charge 1 (q₁) = –2.0 C

Charge 2 (q₂) = 3.0 C

Distance apart (r) = 80 m

Electrical constant (K) = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Force (F) =?

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

F = 9×10⁹ × 2 × 3 / 80²

F = 5.4×10¹⁰ / 6400

F = 8437500 N

Thus, the force of attraction between the two charges is 8437500 N

2. From the question given, the charges are:

Charge 1 (q₁) = –2.0 C

Charge 2 (q₂) = 3.0 C

We understood that like charges repels while unlike charges attract. Since the two charges (i.e –2 C and 3 C) has opposite signs, it means they will attract each other.

Thus the force between them is attractive.

10. How much total work do you do when you lift a 50 kg microwave 1.0 m off the ground and then push it 1.0 m
Mariulka [41]

Work formula:

W = Fd\cos(\theta)

F = 50N, d = 1.0 m

When you lift something straight up, the angle of the force is 90º

cos(90º) is 0, so there's no work done when you lift the microwave off the ground

W = (50N)(1.0)(0) = 0

F = 50N, d = 1.0 m

When you push the microwave, the angle is 0º and cos(0º) is 1. So there is work done here:

W = (50 N)(1.0m)(1)

W = 50

total work = 50 joules
