Megan tries to open a door, but she is unable to push at a right angle to the door. So, she pushes the door at an angle of 55º f

rom the perpendicular. How much harder would she have to push to open the door just as fast as if she were to push it at 90º

Let say torque required to open the door when force is applied at 90 degree is given by T

\tau = \vec r \times \vec F

\tau = rFsin\theta

\tau = rFsin90 = rF

now if she is not able to apply force perpendicular but she can apply some harder force to open the door at 55 degree from perpendicular

now we can say

\tau = rF'sin\theta

\tau = rF' sin(90 - 55)

now we know that it requires same torque in order to open the door

so we will use the equation

rF = rF'sin35

F' = \frac{F}{sin35} = 1.74 F

so it requires 1.74 times more force in this case

Show that (a)KE=1/2mv2
evablogger [386]

Answer:

\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{see \: below}}}}}

Explanation:

\underline{ \bold{ \sf{To \: prove \: that \: kinetic \: energy =  \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} }}}

Let us consider, a body of mass ' m ' is lying at rest ( initial velocity = 0 ) on a smooth surface. Let a constant force F displaces this body in its own direction by a displacement ' d '. Let 'v' be it's final velocity. The work done ' W ' by the force is given by :

\sf{W = FD}

⇒\sf{W = m \:  \times a \:  \times s} \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: ( \: ∴ \: f \:  =  \: ma \: ; \: s \:  = d)

⇒\sf{W = m \:  \times  \frac{v - u}{t}  \times  \frac{u + v}{2}  \times t \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: (∴ \: a =   \frac{v - u}{t} and \: s =  \frac{u + v}{2}  \times t}

⇒\sf{W = m \times  \frac{ {v}^{2}  -  {u}^{2} }{2} }

⇒\sf{W =  \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2}  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: (since, \: initial \: velocity(u) = 0)}

The work done becomes the kinetic energy of the body. Thus, the kinetic energy of a body of mass ' m : moving with the velocity equal to 'v ' is 1 / 2 mv²

∴ \sf{KE=  \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} }

\sf{ \underline{ \bold{  {proved}}}}

Hope I helped!

Best regards!!
