To move a refrigerator of mass 170 kg into a house, a mover puts it on a dolly and covers the steps leading into the house with

a wooden plank acting as a ramp. The plank is 9.6 m long and rises 3.3 m. The mover pulls the dolly with constant velocity and with a steady force 1400 N up the ramp. How much work does he perform? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Answer in units of J.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

         mass (m) = 170 kg,        Distance (s) = 9.6 m

        Height (h) = 3.3 m,         Force (F) = 1400 N

First, we will calculate the work performed by her as follows.

                W = Fs

                    = 1400 N \times 9.6 m

                    = 13440 J

Hence, minimal work necessary to lift the refrigerator is as follows.

               U = mgh

                   = 170 kg \times 9.8 \times 3.3 m

                   = 5497.8 J

Therefore, we can conclude that he performed 5497.8 J of work.

An object of mass 0.50 kg is released from the top of a building of height 8 m. The object experiences a horizontal constant for
liberstina [14]

To solve this problem with the given elements we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations. We will start by calculating the time taken, with the vertical displacement data. Subsequently, with the components of the acceleration, we will obtain the magnitude of the total acceleration, to finally obtain the horizontal displacement with the data already found.

PART A) From vertical movement we know that the acceleration is equivalent to gravity and the displacement is 8m so the time taken to carry out the route would be

h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2

Here,

h = 8 m

g = 9.8 m/s^2

Replacing,

8 = 0.5 * 9.8 * t^2

t = 1.277 sec

PART B) Now, Magnitude of acceleration

a = \sqrt{a_x^2 + a_y^2}

a_x = \frac{1.9}{0.5} = 3.8 m/s^2

a_y = g = 9.8 m/s^2

Thus, magnitude of net acceleration

a = \sqrt{3.82^2  + 9.8^2}= 10.51 m/s^2

PART C) Finally the displacement along horizontal direction is:

s =v_0 t + \frac{1}{2} a t^2

s = 0 + \frac{1}{2} (3.8)(1.277)^2

s = 3.098 m

Therefore the distance traveled along the horizontal direction before it hits the ground is 3.098m

Consider the force field and circle defined below. F(x, y) = x2 i + xy j x2 + y2 = 121 (a) Find the work done by the force field
kirza4 [7]

Answer: the work done by the force is 0

Explanation:

F (x², xy)

121 = 11²

so R = x² + y² = 11²

p = x². Q = xy

Δp/Δy = 0, ΔQ/Δx

using Green's theorem

woek = c_∫F.Δr = R_∫∫ ΔQ/Δx - Δp/Δy) ΔA

=  (x² + y² = 121)_∫∫ yΔA

now let x = rcosФ, y = rsinФ

ΔA = rΔrΔФ

so r from 0 to 11

and Ф from 0 to 2π

= 0_∫^2π   0_∫^11  rsinФ × rΔrΔФ

= 0_∫^2π SinФΔФ   0_∫^11  r²Δr

= [ -cosФ]^2π_0 [r³/3]₀¹¹ = ( -cos2π + cos0) (11³/3) = 0

therefore the work done by the force is 0

Three fire hoses are connected to a fire hydrant. Each hose has a radius of 0.014 m. Water enters the hydrant through an undergr
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The total fluid mass can be obtained by multiplying the mass flow rate by the time flow rate.

Mass flow rate is given as

m = ρAv

Where

m is mass flow rate

ρ is density

A is area and it is given as πr²

v is velocity

Then,

M = mt

Where M is mass and t is time

Them,

M = ρAv × t

M = ρ× πr² × v × t

Given that, .

Radius of pipe is

r = 0.089m

velocity of pipe is

v = 3.3m/s

Time taken is

t = 1 hour = 3600 seconds

Density of water is

ρ = 1000kg/m³

M = ρ× πr² × v × t

M = 1000 × π × 0.089² × 3.3 × 3600

M = 295,628.52 kg

M = 2.96 × 10^5 kg

Mary is driving a car of mass 900 kilograms toward the north with a velocity of
lorasvet [3.4K]
Since both cars move together after the collision, then this is an example of an inelastic collision. The formula for an inelastic collision is as follows:

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1 + m2)v

Where:

m1 = mass of the first object
m2 = mass of the second object
u1 = initial velocity of the first object
u2 = initial velocity of the second object
v = final velocity

Substituting the given values to solve for v:

900*22 + 900*15 = (900 + 900)v
v = 18.5 m/s

A 10248 kg car is pulled by a low tow truck that has an acceleration of 2.0m/s what is the net force on the car
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer: 20496N

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the net force will be given as:

Net force = Acceleration × Mass

Since 10248 kg car is pulled by a low tow truck that has an acceleration of 2.0m/s, the net force would be:

= 10248 × 2

= 20496N
