Answer:
Final Speed of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson = 15.812 m/s
Explanation:
Let's start out with finding the force acting downwards because of the mass of 'The Rock':
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson: 118kg x 9.81m/s = 1157.58 N
Now the problem also states that the kinetic friction of the desk in this problem is 370 N
Since the pulley is smooth, the weight of Dwayne Johnson being transferred fully, and pulls the desk with a force of 1157.58 N. The frictional force of the desk is resisting this motion by a force of 370 N. Subtracting both forces we get the resultant force on the desk to be: 1157.58 - 370 = 787.58 N
Now lets use F = ma to calculate for the acceleration of the desk:
787.58 = 63 x acceleration
acceleration = 12.501 m/s
Finally, we can use the motion equation:
here u = 0 m/s (since initial speed of the desk is 0)
a = 12.501 m/s
and s = 10 m
Solving this we get:
Since the desk and Mr. Dwayne Johnson are connected by a taught rope, they are travelling at the same speed. Thus, Dwayne also travels at 15.812 m/s when the desk reaches the window.
Answer:
(a) 1058.4 J
(b) -10584 J
Explanation:
Parameters given:
Mass of astronaut, m = 72 kg
Distance moved by astronaut, d = 15 m
(a) WORK DONE BY FORCE FROM THE HELICOPTER
Work done is given as the product of Force applied to a body and the distance moved by the body:
W = F * d
The force from the helicopter is given as:
F = m * a
where a = acceleration of the astronaut due to the helicopter
Therefore, the work done is given as:
W = m * a * d
W = 72 * g/10 * 15
W =
W = 1058.4 J
(b) WORK DONE BY FORCE OF GRAVITY
W = F * d
The force of gravity is given as:
F = -m * g
where g = acceleration due to gravity
The negative sign is due to the fact that the astronaut moves in an opposite direction (upwards) to the force of gravity (Gravity acts downwards)
Therefore, the work done is given as:
W = -m * g * d
W = -72 * 9.8 * 15
W = -10584 J
