Kevin is refinishing his rusty wheelbarrow. He moves his sandpaper back and forth 45 times over a rusty area, each time moving a

total distance of 0.15 m. Kevin pushes the sandpaper against the surface with a normal force of 1.8 N. The coefficient of friction for the metal/sandpaper interface is 0.92. How much work is done by the kinetic frictional force during the sanding process

W = _|....F*dx*cos(a)........With F=force, x=distance over which force acts on object,
.......0.............................and a=angle between force and direction of travel.

Since the force is constant in this case we don't need the equation to be an integral expression, and since the force in question - the force of friction - is always precisely opposite the direction of travel (which makes (a) equal to 180 deg, and cos(a) equal to -1) the equation can be rewritted like so:

W = F*x*(-1) ............ or ............. W = -F*x

The force of friction is given by the equation: Ffriction = Fnormal*(coeff of friction)

Also, note that the total work is the sum of all 45 passes by the sandpaper. So our final equation, when Ffriction is substituted, is:

W = (-45)(Fnormal)(coeff of friction)(distance)
W = (-45)...(1.8N).........(0.92).........(0.15m)
W = ................-11.178 Joules

How does the value of gravity vary as you go:
iragen [17]

Answer:

Gravity changes with altitude. as we know The gravitational force is proportional to 1/R2, where R is your distance from the center of the Earth.

eg. The radius of the Earth at the equator is 6400 kilometers.

Let's say you were in a jet at the equator that was 40 kilometers high above the earth's surface.

may be helpfull

A boy throws a ball up into the air with a speed of 8.2 m/s. The ball has a mass of 0.3 kg. How much gravitational potential ene
diamong [38]
We can use the law of conservation of energy to solve the problem.

The total mechanical energy of the system at any moment of the motion is:
E=U+K = mgh + \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where U is the potential energy and K the kinetic energy.

At the beginning of the motion, the ball starts from the ground so its altitude is h=0 and therefore its potential energy U is zero. So, the mechanical energy is just kinetic energy:
E_i = K_i =  \frac{1}{2}mv^2 =  \frac{1}{2}(0.3 kg)(8.2 m/s)^2=10.09 J

When the ball reaches the maximum altitude of its flight, it starts to go down again, so its speed at that moment is zero: v=0. So, its kinetic energy at the top is zero. So the total mechanical energy is just potential energy:
E_f = U_f
But the mechanical energy must be conserved, Ef=Ei, so we have
U_f = K_i
and so, the potential energy at the top of the flight is
U_f = K_i = 10.09 J

If a car accelerates uniformly from rest to 15 meters
Talja [164]

Answer:

1.125m/s^2

Explanation:

Since acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity with respect to time. Mathematically

v^2= u^2+2as

Where a,v,u and s are the acceleration, final velocity, initial velocity and distance respectively.

a = ?

u = 0m/s

v = 15m/s

s = 100m

Substituting the values into the formula above

v^2= u^2+2as

15^2=0^2+2×a×100

225= 0+200a

225= 200a

Divide both sides by 200

225/200 = 200a/200

a= 1.125m/s^2

Hence the acceleration of the car is 1.125m/s^2.

Note that the car accelerated uniformly from rest, that was why the initial velocity was 0m/s
