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)

Explain how the extension of a spring is determined
fgiga [73]

Answer:

For a given spring the extension is directly proportional to the force applied For example if the force is doubled, the extension doubles When an elastic object is stretched beyond its limit of proportionality the object does not return to its original length when the force is removed

Pascal has 96 miles remaining to complete his cycling trip. If he reduced his current speed by 4 miles per hour, the remainder o
Verdich [7]

Answer:

V = 20 miles /sec

Explanation:

We have remaining distance   =  d  = 96 miles

Lets call  Pascal velocity  V in miles per hour

Now if he increases his velocity by  50 % (equivalent to multiply by 1.5 ) he will need a time t₁ to arrive then as V = d/t

1.5* V  = d/ t₁      ⇒   1.5 * V  =  96 /t₁

And in the case of reducing his velocity

(V / 4) = d/ (t₁ + 16 )     ⇒  V * (t₁ + 16 ) = 4*d     ⇒ V*t₁ + 16*V = 384

So we a 2 equation system with two uknown variables

1.5*V = 96/t₁      (1)

V*t₁  + 16*V = 384     (2)

We solve  from equation    (1)      t₁  = 64/V

And by substitution   in equation (2)

V * (64/V) + 16* V = 384

64  + 16 *V  = 384         ⇒   16*V = 320      ⇒  V= 320/16

V = 20 miles /sec

Choose a substance you're familiar with. what are its physical and chemical properties? How would you measure its density? What
Gekata [30.6K]
<span>you can look at magnesium, it can react with oxygen to form oxides. (chemical) it is malleable and a solid at room temperature. (physical)

</span><span>to measure its density, the mass and volume can be worked out and from this density too. look up the equation, it is quite easy :) 
</span><span>physical changes -- it can be melted, and oxidized 

</span><span>the chemical changes of oxidation magnesium looses electrons to form oxides, this is a chemical reaction- chemical change..--- use to get the density use (rho) or density D = M/V</span>

What's the minimum Out PUT WORK<br> required to raise 14,0m3 of water 26.0m?
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

3.57 MJ

Explanation:

ASSUMING it's fresh water with density of 1000 kg/m³

W = ΔPE = mgΔh = 14.0(1000)(9.81)(26.0) = 3,570,840 J

Salt water would require more.
