DENIUS [597]3 years ago
8 0

48J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight of the book = 16N

Height of the shelf = 3m

Unknown:

Work done to raise the book = ?

Solution:

Work done is defined as the product of force and distance. The force here is the weight of the book which signifies that it was carried in the vicinity of gravitational force.

   Work done = Force x  distance = weight x distance

Weight is a type of force;

  Input the parameters;

     Work done = 16 x 3 = 48J

The unit of workdone is in Joules

A 50.0 kg driver is riding at 35.0 m/s in her red sports car when she must suddenly slam on the brakes to avoid
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

3500N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of driver  = 50kg

Speed  = 35m/s

Time  = 0.5s

Unknown:

Average force the seat belt exerts on her = ?

Solution:

The average force the seat belt exerts on her can be deduced from Newton's second law of motion.

   F = mass x acceleration

So;

     F  = mass x  \frac{change in velocity }{time}

  F  = 50 x \frac{35}{0.5}    = 3500N
