Answer: work = 1,305kJ

Explanation:

angle= 30°

force= 1,500N

distance= 1,000m

The formula for work is : Work= force x distance, however there is an angle of 30° between the direction of force applied and the direction of motion, therefore force must be decomposed to its value on the horizontal axis which is the direction of motion by using the cosine of the very angle.

W= F×cos(α)×D

W= 1,500×cos (30)×1,000

W= 1,305kJ ( kilojoules)

Consider your desk at rest on your bedroom floor. As you and your friend start to lift it, does the support force on the desk pr
Virty [35]

A) From rest and before performing the described exercise, the entire weight of the desk is supported by the floor. This support force (normal force) exerted by the floor will be equivalent to the force equivalent to the weight of the desk. From the moment the desk starts to be lifted, said support force will decrease and the weight of the desk supported by the floor will be less.

B) As the desk is lifted, the support force of the two guests will increase, this occurs because the force is transferred to the support of both, but the support force of the floor on the two people will increase.

a ball of mass 0.80 kg moving at a speed of 2.5 m/s along a straight line collided with a mass 2.5 kg which was initially statio
Likurg_2 [28]

The speed of the 0.8 kg ball immediately after collision is 0.625 m/s in opposite direction to the stationary ball.

The given parameters;

  • mass of the ball, m₁ = 0.8 kg
  • speed of the ball, u₁ = 2.5 m/s
  • mass of the object at rest, m₂ = 2.5 kg
  • final velocity of the object at rest, v₂ = 1 m/s

Let the final velocity of the 0.8 kg ball immediately after collision = v₁

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁  +  m₂v₂

(0.8 x 2.5) + (2.5 x 0) = (0.8)v₁  +  2.5(1)

2 = 2.5 + (0.8)v₁

-0.5 = (0.8)v₁

v_1 = \frac{-0.5}{0.8} \\\\v_1 = -0.625 \ m/s

Thus, the speed of the 0.8 kg ball immediately after collision is 0.625 m/s in opposite direction to the stationary ball.

A 5.00-g bullet is fired into a 900-g block of wood suspended as a ballistic pendulum. The combined mass swings up to a height o
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The value is  KE_b =0.710 \ J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass  of the bullet is m_b  = 5.00 \ g  = 0.005 \  kg

  The mass  of the wood is  m_w =  900 \  g  =  0.90\  kg

   The height attained by the combined mass is  h =  8.0 \ cm  =  0.08 \ m

Generally according to the law of energy conservation    

    KE _b  =  PE_c

Here KE_b is the kinetic energy of the bullet before collision.

and PE_c is the  potential  energy of the combined mass of bullet and wood at the height h which is mathematically represented as

      PE_m  =  [m_b  + m_w] *  g *  h

So

   KE_b =PE_c   = [0.005  + 0.90] * 9.8 *0.08

=> KE_b =0.710 \ J

Total amount of energy would remain constant according to law of conservation of energy. i.e., 50 Joules

In short, Your Answer would be Option C) <span>50 Joules because as energy converts from one form to another, it cannot be created or destroyed during the conversion.

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Claim: The heart pumps more blood throughout the body when one exercises because exercise takes a lot of energy from the body.

Evidence: Heart rate went from 80 bpm to 120 bpm

Reasoning: Doing exercise takes a lot of energy to do, causing the circulatory system to have to work harder and pump more blood throughout the body in order to allow someone to be able to do a task that involves so much movement and energy.
