Two students are simultaneously pushing a glider on a frictionless air track, each with a constant horizontal force. In the exam

ples that follow, assume that student 1 always does positive work on the block (Ws, > 0 and that student 2 always does negative work (Ws2 0 Suppose that the glider moves to the left with constant speed. 1. In which direction is each student pushing the block? Use the definition of work to answer

Answer:

<em>The student 1 pushes to the left, the student 2 pushed to the right</em>

Explanation:

<u>Mechanical Work</u>

The work done by a force F on an object moving a distance X and making an angle \theta with the force is given by

W=F.X.cos\theta

If the force and the distance point in the same direction, the angle is 0 and the work is positive.

If the force and the distance point in opposite directions, the angle is 180° and the work is negative.

We know the glider moves to the left and the student 1 always does positive work, thus he must be pushing the block to the left to have the same direction.

The same can be applied to the second student who does a negative work when the block goes to the left, so he must be pushing to the right direction.

Summary: The student 1 pushes to the left, the student 2 pushed to the right

If a car has a mass of 200 kilograms and produces a force of 500 N, how fast will the car accelerate?
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

F = ma

500N = 200 × a

200a. = 500N

a. =. 500N/200

a. =. 2.5m/s²

A 75.0-kg man standing on a bathroom scale in an elevator. Calculate the scale in N, reading if the elevator moves upward at a c
Salsk061 [2.6K]

The scale in N, reading if the elevator moves upward at a constant speed of 1.5 m/s^2 is 862.5 N.

weight of man = 75kg

speed of elevator, a = 1.5 m/ s^{2}

F - w = ma \\

F = w + ma

F = m ( a +g )

F = 75 ( 1.5 + 10 ) \\

F = 75 ( 11.5 )

F = 862.5 N

So, the scale reading in the elevator is greater than his 862.5 N weight. This indicates that the person is being propelled upward by the scale, which it must do in order to do so, with a force larger than his weight. According to what you experience in quickly accelerating or slowly moving elevators, it is obvious that the faster the elevator acceleration, the greater the scale reading.

Speed can be defines as the pace at which the position of an object changes in any direction.  Since speed simply has a direction and no magnitude, it is a scalar quantity.
