Answer: 7291.2 joules

Explanation:

Work is done when force is applied on an object over a distance.

Thus, Workdone = Force X distance

Since Distance moved by box = 12 metres

mass of box = 62kg

Acceleration due to gravity when box was lifted is represented by g = 9.8m/s^2

Recall that Force = Mass x acceleration due to gravity

i.e Force = 62kg x 9.8m/s^2

= 607.6 Newton

So, Workdone = Force X Distance

Workdone = 607.6 Newton X 12 metres

Workdone = 7291.2 joules

Thus, 7291.2 joules of work was done.

True or False<br><br> The greater the speed of an object, the less kinetic energy it possesses.

Anettt [7]

That is true because if the object is moving at Forceful speeds than it will lose more of its kinetic energy

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Most of the energy will be absorbed by the materials that make up the cars, causing them to deform. The energy will also be converted into sound energy, causing a loud bang upon collision. Also, some energy will be converted to thermal energy, which will cause the cars to heat up slightly.

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

x = 0.0537 m or 5.37 cm

Explanation:

Given:

spring constant'k'= 4900 N/m

radius 'r' =0.029 m

Area 'A' =r²π = 0.029²π => 2.6 x $10^{-3}$ m²

Here, Pressure 'P' is given by,

Pressure = Force / Area

And we know that, for a spring :

F = kx, where k is the spring constant and x is the change in length.

P = kx/A

As P = 101325 Pa

101325 = 4900x / ( 2.6 x $10^{-3}$ )

x = 0.0537 m or 5.37 cm
