A boy exerts a force of 9.0 N horizontally to push his sister on a sled. He pushes her through a distance of 15 m. How much work

did he do?
Was this positive work or negative work? If he stops pushing, his sister and the sled will eventually slow to a stop. Is this negative work or positive
work? What force is doing the work?
Please help with the last 2 questions above^^ (negative or positive,, and what force is doing the work)

Answer:

Work done by the boy is 135 J  and is positive work.

Friction is the force acting that stops the sled and her sister.

Work done by friction is negative work.

Explanation:

Given:

Force acting on the sled by the boy is, F=9.0\ N

Displacement of the sled in the direction of force is, S=15\ m

We know that, positive work is said to be done by a force, if the force causes displacement in its own direction. Also, negative work is said to be done by a force, if the force causes displacement in the direction exactly opposite to the direction of the applied force.

Here, the force applied by the boy causes a displacement in the direction of the applied force. So, work is positive and is given as:

Work = Force × Displacement

Work=F\times S\\Work=9\times 15=135\ J

Therefore, the work done by the boy is positive and equal to 135 J.

Now, when the force of push is removed, then the body will experience only the frictional force in the opposite direction which eventually causes the sled to stop.

Here, the direction of force is backward while the displacement is in the forward direction. So, both of them are in opposite direction.

So, work done by frictional force is negative.

A wheel has a radius of r = 2.0 m and it rolls down a smooth incline. The height of the incline is h = 8.0 m . What is the angul
zepelin [54]

The angular velocity of the wheel at the bottom of the incline is 4.429 rad/sec

The angular velocity (ω) of an object is the rate at which the object's angle position is changing in relation to time.

For a wheel attached to an incline angle, the angular velocity can be computed by considering the conservation of energy theorem.

As such the total kinetic energy (K.E) and rotational kinetic energy (R.K.E) at a point is equal to the total potential energy (P.E) at the other point.

i.e.

P.E = K.E + R.K.E

\mathbf{mgh = \dfrac{1}{2}m(r \times \omega)^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times I \times \omega^2}

\mathbf{gh = \dfrac{1}{2}(r \times \omega)^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times r^2 \times \omega^2}

\mathbf{2 \times \dfrac{gh}{r^2} =\omega^2 +  \omega^2}

\mathbf{2 \omega^2=2 \times \dfrac{9.81 \times 8 m }{2.0 ^2}  }

\mathbf{\omega^2=\dfrac{39.24 }{2}}

\mathbf{\omega=\sqrt{19.62 } \ rad/sec}

\mathbf{\omega=4.429 \ rad/sec}

Therefore, we can conclude that the angular velocity of the wheel at the bottom of the incline is 4.429 rad/sec

A satellite of mass m completes one revolution around the earth at a constant speed s and radius r.
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

d. The magnitude of the work done by the earth on the satellite is non zero

Explanation:

The work done is equal to the product of the force and the distance moved in the direction of the force, the force and the distance act perpendicular to one another, therefore no work is done in the circular motion of the movement of the earth.
