Answer:

69.68 N

Explanation:

Work done is equal to change in kinetic energy

W = ΔK = Kf - Ki = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2} _{f}  - \frac{1}{2} mv^{2} _{i}

W = F_{total} .d

where m = mass of the sprinter

vf = final velocity

vi = initial velocity

W  = workdone

kf = final kinetic energy

ki = initial kinetic energy

d = distance traveled

Ftotal = total force

vf = 8m/s

vi= 2m/s

d = 25m

m = 60kg

inserting parameters to get:

W = ΔK = Kf - Ki = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2} _{f}  - \frac{1}{2} mv^{2} _{i}

F_{total} .d =\frac{1}{2} mv^{2} _{f}  - \frac{1}{2} mv^{2} _{i}

F_{total} = \frac{\frac{1}{2} mv^{2} _{f} - \frac{1}{2} mv^{2} _{i}}{d}

F_{total=} \frac{\frac{1}{2} X 62 X6^{2} -\frac{1}{2} X 62 X2^{2} }{25}

= 39.7

we know that the force the sprinter exerted F sprinter, the force of the headwind Fwind = 30N

F_{sprinter} = F_{total} + F_{wind}  = 39.7 + 30 = 69.68 N

Answer:

Force exerted by sprinter = 69.68 N

Explanation:

From work energy theorem, we know that, work done is equal to change in kinetic energy.

Thus,

W = ΔK = Kf - Ki = (1/2)m•(v_f)² - (1/2)m•(v_i)² - - - - eq(1)

Now,

Work done is also;

W = Force x Distance = F•d - - - (2)

From the question, we are given ;

v_f = 6 m/s

v_i = 2 m/s

d = 25m

m = 62 kg

Equating equation 1 and 2,we get;

(1/2)m•(v_f)² - (1/2)m•(v_i)² = F•d

Plugging in the relevant values to obtain ;

(1/2)(62)[(6)² - (2)²] = F x 25

31(36 - 4) = 25F

992 = 25F

F = 39.68 N

The force the sprinter exerts backward on the track will be the sum of this force and the headwind force.

Thus,

Force of sprinter = 39.68 + 30 = 69.68N

Three point charges are located on the x-axis. The first charge, q1 = 10 μC, is at x = -1.0 m. The second charge, q2 = 20 μC, is
victus00 [196]

Answer:

<em>3.15 N towards the positive x-axis</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

first charge has charge q1 = 10 μC = 10 x 10^-6 C

second charge has charge q2 = 20 μC = 20 x 10^-6 C

third charge has charge q3 = -30 μC = -30 x 20^-6 C

According to coulomb's law, force between two charged particle is given as

F = \frac{-kQq}{r^2}

Where

F is the force between the charges

k is Coulomb's constant = 9 x 10^9 kg⋅m^3⋅s^−2⋅C^−2.

Q is the magnitude of one charge

q is the magnitude of the other charge

is the distance between these two charges

For the force on q2 due to q1,

distance r between them = 0 - (-1.0) = 1 m

F = \frac{-9*10^{9}*10*10^{-6}*20*10^{-6}}{1^2} = -1.8 N (the negative sign indicates a repulsion on q2 towards the positive  x-axis)

For the force on q2 due to q3,

distance between them = 2.0 - 0 = 2 m

F = \frac{-9*10^{9}*20*10^{-6}*(-30*10^{-6})}{2^2} = 1.35 N (the positive sign indicates an attraction on q2 towards the positive x-axis)

Resultant force on q2 = 1.8 N + 1.35 N = <em>3.15 N towards the positive x-axis</em>

1. A student lifts a box of books that weighs 185 N. The box is
aksik [14]

1)  148 J

When lifting an object, the work done on the object is equal to its change in gravitational potential energy. Mathematically:

W = \Delta U = (mg) \Delta h

where

mg is the weight of the object

\Delta h is the change in height

For the box in this problem,

mg = 185 N

\Delta h = 0.800 m

Substituting into the equation, we find:

W=(185)(0.800)=148 J

2) (a) 28875 J

The work done by a force applied parallel to the direction of motion of the object is given by

W=Fd

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement

In this problem,

F = 825 N is the force applied by the two students together

d = 35 m is the displacement of the car

Substituting,

W=(825)(35)=28875 J

2) (b) 57750 J

As seen previously, the equation that gives the work done by the force is

W=Fd

We see that the work done is proportional to the magnitude of the force: therefore, if the force is doubled, then the work done is also doubled.

The work done previously was

W = 28875 J

Now the force is doubled, so the new work done will be

W' = 2(28875)=57750 J

3) 4.4 J

In this case, the force acting on the ball is the force of gravity, whose magnitude is:

F = mg

where

m = 0.180 kg is the mass of the ball

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

Solving the equation,

F=(0.180)(9.8)=1.76 N

Now we find the work done by gravity using the same formula applied before:

W=Fd

where d = 2.5 m is the displacement of the ball. We can apply this version of the formula since the force is parallel to the displacement. Substituting,

W=(1.76)(2.5)=4.4 J

4) 595.2 kg

In this case, we have the work done on the box:

W = 7.0 kJ = 7000 J

And we also know the change in height of the box:

\Delta h = 1.2 m

As we stated in part a), the work done on the box is equal to its change in gravitational potential energy:

W=mg \Delta h

Solving for m, we find

m=\frac{W}{g \Delta h}

And substituting the numerical values, we find the mass of the box:

m=\frac{7000}{(9.8)(1.2)}=595.2 kg

5) They do the same work

In fact, the net work done by each person on the box is equal to the change in gravitational potential energy of the box:

W=mg \Delta h

Where \Delta h is the difference in height between the final position and the initial position of the box.

This means that the work done on the box depends only on its initial and final position, not on the path taken. The two men carry the box along different paths, however the reach at the end the same position, and they started from the same position: this means that the value of \Delta h is the same for both of them, so the work they have done is exactly the same.
