Answer:

Correct answer:  F = 50 N  weight of backpack

Explanation:

Given:

W = 200 J    work against gravity

h = 4 m  

F = m g = ?

g = 10 m/s²

The work done is a measure of change in this case of potential energy

W = Δ Ep = m g h = F · h ⇒ F = W / h =

F = W / h = 200 / 4 = 50 N

F = 50 N

Find the net work W done on the particle by the external forces during the motion of the particle in terms of the initial and fi
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

W=K_f-K_i

Explanation:

The work done on a particle by external forces is defined as:

W=\int\limits^{r_f}_{r_i} {F\cdot dr} \,

According to Newton's second law F=ma. Thus:

W=\int\limits^{r_f}_{r_i}{ma\cdot dr} \,\\

Acceleration is defined as the derivative of the speed with respect to time:

W=m\int\limits^{r_f}_{r_i}{\frac{dv}{dt}\cdot dr} \,\\\\W=m\int\limits^{r_f}_{r_i}{dv \cdot \frac{dr}{dt}} \,

Speed is defined as the derivative of the position with respect to time:

W=m\int\limits^{v_f}_{v_i} v \cdot dv \,

Kinetic energy is defined as K=\frac{mv^2}{2}:

W=m\frac{v_f^2}{2}-m\frac{v_i^2}{2}\\W=K_f-K_i

I believe that the loss of Phyllis' recollections is thought to be the most heartbreaking side effect of her ailment in light of the fact that once a man's memory scatters then piece of the individual begins to vanish with them. A memory holds a considerable measure of essential data, for example, people's identity, where They have lived, and their connections that they have had with individuals.

If μs is greater than some critical value, the woman cannot start the crate moving no matter how hard she pushes. calculate this
fiasKO [112]

weight = mg acts downwards <span>
normal force = N acts upwards. 
and force F acts at an angle θ below the horizontal. 
(Let us assume that the woman pushes from the left, so F is acted towards the right, which is below the horizontal) 
so that, Frictional force, f=us*N acts towards the left 

Now we balance the forces along x and y directions: 
y direction: N = mg + F sinΘ 
x direction: us * N = F cosΘ 

We let the value of µs be equal to a value such that any F will not be able to move the crate. Then, if we increase F by an amount F', then the force pushing the crate towards the right also increases by F' cosΘ. Additionally, the frictional force f must raise by exactly this amount. 
Since f can’t exceed us*N, so the normal force must increase by F' cosΘ/us. 
Also, from the y direction equation, the normal force exceeds by F' sin Θ. 

<span>These two values must be the same, therefore:
<span>us = cot θ</span></span></span>
