Answer:

Work done, W = 10195.92 Joules

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the crate, m = 170 kg

Distance, d = 10.2 m

The coefficient of friction, \mu=0.6

Let W is the work done by the mover. It is given by in terms of coefficient of friction as :

W=\mu mg\times d

W=0.6\times 170\times 9.8 \times 10.2

W = 10195.92 Joules

So, the work done by the mover is 10195.92 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.

An early submersible craft for deep-sea exploration was raised and lowered by a cable from a ship. When the craft was stationary
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

a) 5200 N  b) 8800 N

Explanation:

a) tension in the cable when it was being lowered to the sea floor = weight of the object which acts downward ( equals the tension in the cable when the craft was stationary in opposite direction)  - the drag force which will act upward =  7000 - 1800 = 5200 N

b) tension in the cable when the craft was being raised since the tension will act upward and the drag force and the weight will act downward = 7000 + 1800 = 8800 N

Approximately what is the smallest detail observable with a microscope that uses ultraviolet light of frequency 1. 72 x 1015 hz?
postnew [5]

The wavelength, which represents the size of the smallest detectable detail that uses ultraviolet light  , is calculated as follows: 3×10^{8} / 1.72×10^{15} or approximately 1.74×10^{-7}m.

The distance between the two positive, two negative, or two minimal points on the waveform is known as the wavelength of the wave. The following formula expresses the relationship between the frequency and wavelength of light:

f = c / λ

where, f = frequency of light

            c = speed of light

            λ = wavelength of light

Given data = f = 1.72×10^{15}Hz

Therefore, λ = 3×10^{8} / 1.72×10^{15}

                  λ = 1.74×10^{-7}m

The wavelength, which represents the size of the smallest detectable detail that uses ultraviolet light  , is calculated as follows: 3×10^{8} / 1.72×10^{15} or approximately 1.74×10^{-7}m.

A 100g block is initially compressing a spring 5.0 cm. The spring launches the block 50cm horizontally along the ground with a f
Setler [38]

Answer:

7200 N/m

Explanation:

Metric unit conversion

100g = 0.1 kg

5 cm = 0.05 m

50 cm = 0.5 m

As the block is released from the spring and travelling to height h = 1.5m off the ground, the elastics energy is converted to work of friction force and the potential energy at 1.5 m off the ground

The work by friction force is the product of the force F = 15N itself and the distance s = 0.5 m

W_f = F_fs = 15*0.5 = 7.5 J

Let g = 10 m/s2. The change in potential energy can be calculated as the following:

E_p = mgh = 0.1*10*1.5 = 1.5 J

Therefore, as elastic energy is converted to potential energy and work of friction:

E_e = W_f + E_p

kx^2/2 = 7.5 + 1.5 = 9 J

k = 9*2/x^2 = 18/0.05^2 = 7200 N/m
