Temka [501]3 years ago

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.

According to the formula for stopping distance, how many feet will it take you to stop, from 60 mph?
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

534 ft

Explanation:

given,

speed of the vehicle = 60 mph

1 mph = 0.447 m/s

60 mph = 60 x 0.447 = 26.82 m/s

stopping distance = ?

Stopping distance of the car is equal to the distance traveled in the reaction time and the braking distance.

Reaction time of a common person = 1.5 s

taking coefficient of friction of the road = 0.3

using equation of stopping sight distance

S.D = RD + BD

RD is Reaction distance

RD = v t_r

RD = 26.82 x 1.5

RD = 40.23 m

BD is the braking distance

BD = \dfrac{v^2}{2\mu g}

BD = \dfrac{26.82^2}{2\times 0.3\times 9.8}

BD = 122.33 m

Stopping sight distance

SD = 40.23 + 122.33

SD = 162.56 m

1 m = 3.28 ft

162.56 m = 162.56 x 3.28

                = 533.20 ft ≈ 534 ft

hence, the stopping distance will be equal to 534 ft

Un diapasón vibra a 140 [Hz] y la onda emitida por él se propaga con una rapidez de 340 m/s.Considerando lo anterior, se puede a
Gnom [1K]

The question is: A tuning fork vibrates at 140 [Hz] and the wave emitted by it propagates with a speed of 340 m / s. Considering the above, it can be correctly stated that the wavelength of the wave emitted by the tuning fork is

Answer: Wavelength of the wave emitted by the tuning fork is 2.43 m.

Explanation:

Given: Frequency = 140 Hz

Speed = 340 m/s

wavelength = ?

Formula used to calculate the wavelength is as follows.

\lambda = \frac{v}{f}

where,

\lambda = wavelength

v = speed

f = frequency

Substitute the values into above formula.

\lambda = \frac{v}{f}\\= \frac{340 m/s}{140 Hz}  (1 Hz = 1 s^{-1})\\= 2.43 m

Thus, we can conclude that wavelength of the wave emitted by the tuning fork is 2.43 m.
