Answer:
The work done on the wagon is 37 joules.
Explanation:
Given that,
The force applied by Charlie to the right, F = 37.2 N
The force applied by Sara to the left, F' = 22.4 N
We need to find the work done on the wagon after it has moved 2.50 meters to the right. The net force acting on the wagon is :



Work done on the wagon is given by the product of net force and displacement. It is given by :


W = 37 Joules
So, the work done on the wagon is 37 joules. Hence, this is the required solution.

F = k x
k = 2 g/6.1 cm
2.5g = (2g/6.1cm) x
x = 6.1 (2.5/2) cm
Answer:
the earth orbits a star called the sun
Answer:
a. 120 W
b. 28.8 N
Explanation:
To a good approximate, the only external force that does work on a cyclist moving on level ground is the force of air resistance. Suppose a cyclist is traveling at 15 km/h on level ground. Assume he is using 480 W of metabolic power.
a. Estimate the amount of power he uses for forward motion.
b. How much force must he exert to overcome the force of air resistance?
(a)
He is 25% efficient, therefore the cyclist will be expending 25% of his power to drive the bicycle forward
Power = efficiency X metabolic power
= 0.25 X 480
= 120 W
(b)
power if force times the velocity
P = Fv
convert 15 km/h to m/s
v = 15 kmph = 4.166 m/s
F = P/v
= 120/4.166
= 28.8 N
definition of terms
power is the rate at which work is done
force is that which changes a body's state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line
velocity is the change in displacement per unit time.
