Answer:

40.3 ft-lbs

Explanation:

Work = Force•Distance = (Force)(Distance)(cosΘ)

Note what you know and/or don't know. In this case:

Force = 8lbs

Distance = 7ft

Θ = 44°

So with that and the formula of work above, we can say:

Work = (8lbs)(7ft)(cos44°) = 40.28...ft-lbs

When rounded you have 40.3 ft-lbs of work done by the force.

Side note: Just to be clear, the formula Force•Distance is said as Force "dot" Distance. It's a dot product and not just a multiplication sign; which is why the angle is important to know.

Force×Distance is said as Force "cross" Distance, which relates to a different kind of force and has a slightly different formula.

diamong [38]

Answer:

11.98 N

Explanation:

Normal force =   mg =  2.03 * 9.81

coeff of static friction must be overcome for the book to begin moving

       .602 = F / (2.03 * 9.81)   = 11.98  N

Answer:

Acceleration = 4 m/s²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 8 N

Mass = 2 kg

To find the acceleration of the block;

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Acceleration = \frac {Net \; force}{mass}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Acceleration = \frac {8}{2}

Acceleration = 4 m/s²

<span><span>anonymous </span> 4 years ago</span>Any time you are mixing distance and acceleration a good equation to use is <span>ΔY=<span>V<span>iy</span></span>t+1/2a<span>t2</span></span> I would split this into two segments - the rise and the fall. For the fall, Vi = 0 since the player is at the peak of his arc and delta-Y is from 1.95 to 0.890. For the upward part of the motion the initial velocity is unknown and the final velocity is zero, but motion is symetrical - it takes the same amount of time to go up as it does to go down. Physiscists often use the trick "I'm going to solve a different problem, that I know will give me the same answer as the one I was actually asked.) So for the first half you could also use Vi = 0 and a downward delta-Y to solve for the time. Add the two times together for the total. The alternative is to calculate the initial and final velocity so that you have more information to work with.
