A box is being moved with a velocity (v) by a force P (parallel to v) along a level horizontal floor. The normal force is (Fn),

the kinetic frictional force is (fk), and the weight of the box is (mg). Decide which forces do positivem zero,or negative work.

Answer:

Force (P) : Positive

Normal Force (Fn) : Zero

Weight (mg) : Zero

Kinetic Frictional Force (fk) : Negative

Explanation:

The work done by a force on an object is given by the following formula:

W = F.d

W = F d Cosθ

where,

W = Work Done

f = Force Applied

d = displacement

θ = Angle between force and displacement

<u>FOR FORCE (P)</u>:

Since, force P is parallel to the motion of the box. Therefore, θ = 0°

Hence,

W = P d Cos 0°

W = P d(1)

W = Pd

<u>Therefore, work done by force (P) is Positive.</u>

<u></u>

<u>FOR NORMAL FORCE (Fn) AND WEIGHT (W)</u>:

Since, normal force and weight are perpendicular to the motion of the box. Therefore, θ = 90°

Hence,

W = Fn d Cos 90°= mg d Cos 90°

W = Fn d(0) = mg d (0)

W = 0

<u>Therefore, work done by Normal Force (Fn) and Weight (mg) is Zero.</u>

<u></u>

<u>FOR KINETIC FRICTIONAL FORCE (fk)</u>:

Since, kinetic frictional force acts in the opposite direction of motion of the box. Therefore, θ = 180°

Hence,

W = fk d Cos 180°

W = fk d(-1)

W = -fk d

<u>Therefore, work done by Kinetic Frictional Force (fk) is Negative.</u>

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

=3.5 m/s

Explanation:

y = x tanθ - 1/2 g x² / (u²cos²θ )

y = 0.25 , x = 0.5, θ = 40°

.25 = .50 tan40 - .5 x 9.8x x²/ u²cos²40

.25 = .42 - 2.0875/u²

u = 3.5 m / s.

An Astronaut lands on an Earthlike planet and drops a small lead ball with a mass from the top of her spaceship. The point of re
bearhunter [10]

First we have to find out the gravity on that planet. We use Newton second equation of motion. It is given as,

s = ut +(gt^2)/2

Distance s = 25m

Time t = 5 s

Velocity u = 0

By putting these values,

25 = 1/2.g.(5)²

g = 2

So the gravity on that planet is 2. Lets find out the weight of the astronaut.

Mass of the astronaut on earth m = 80 kg

Weight of astronaut on earth W = mg = (80)(9.8) = 784 N

Weight of astronaut on earth like planet = (80)(2) = 160 N

x = 160N

Which symbol represents a type of electromagnetic radiation released during radioactive decay?
Lena [83]
The correct option is (D) Gamma ( _0^0\gamma )

Explanation:
Now this question is a tricky one because all of these options are somehow involved in radioactive decay; however, in this case the SYMBOL is required NOT the elements. There are three symbols involved in radioactive decay, which are:
1. α for alpha decay
2. β for beta decay
3. γ for gamma decay 

In the options only one symbol is present which is gamma. Hence option (D) Gamma ( _0^0\gamma ) is the correct answer.
