A 46.0-kg box is being pushed a distance of 8.80 m across the floor by a force P whose magnitude is 171 N. The force P is parall

el to the displacement of the box. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.250. Determine the work done on the box by (a) the applied force, (b) the friction force, (c) the normal force, and (d) by the force of gravity. Be sure to include the proper plus or minus sign for the work done by each force.

Answer:

a) 1504.8 J

b) 991.76 J

c) 0J

d) 0J

Explanation:

(a) The work done by the force P on the box is given by the following formula:

W_P=Px

P: applied force = 171N

x: distance in which the for P is applied = 8.80m

you replace the values of P and x and obtain:

W_P=(171N)(8.80m)=1504.8J

(b) The work don by the friction force is:

W_f=F_fx=\mu N x=\mu Mg x

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.250

M: mass of the box = 46.0kg

g: gravitational constant = 9.8 m/s^2

W_f=(0.250)(46.0kg)(9.8m/s^2)(8.80m)=991.76J

(c) The Normal force is

N=Mg=(46.0kg)(9,8m/s^2)=450.8N

but this force does not do work on the box because the direction is perpendicular to the direction of the force P.

W_N=0J

(d) the same as before:

W_g=0J

The maximum speed with which you can throw a stone is about 20 m/s. Can you hit a window 45 m away horizontally and 10 m up from
Allushta [10]

Answer:

 y = 17 m

Explanation:

For this projectile launch exercise, let's write the equation of position

          x = v₀ₓ t

          y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

let's substitute

          45 = v₀ cos θ t

          10 = v₀ sin θ t - ½ 9.8 t²

the maximum height the ball can reach where the vertical velocity is zero

 

           v_{y} = v_{oy} - gt

           0 = v₀ sin θ - gt

           0 = v₀ sin θ - 9.8 t

Let's write our system of equations

         45 = v₀ cos θ  t

         10 = v₀ sin θ t - ½ 9.8 t²

         0 = v₀ sin θ - 9.8 t

We have a system of three equations with three unknowns for which it can be solved.

Let's use the last two

        v₀ sin θ = 9.8 t

we substitute

        10 = (9.8 t) t - ½ 9.8 t2

        10 = ½ 9.8 t2

        10 = 4.9 t2

        t = √ (10 / 4.9)

        t = 1,429 s

Now let's use the first equation and the last one

         45 = v₀ cos θ t

         0  = v₀ sin θ - 9.8 t

         9.8 t = v₀  sin θ

         45 / t = v₀ cos θ

we divide

         9.8t / (45 / t) = tan θ

          tan θ = 9.8 t² / 45

          θ = tan⁻¹ ( 9.8 t² / 45 )

          θ = tan⁻¹ (0.4447)

          θ = 24º

Now we can calculate the maximum height

         v_y² = v_{oy}^2 - 2 g y

         vy = 0

          y = v_{oy}^2 / 2g

          y = (20 sin 24)²/2 9.8

          y = 3,376 m

the other angle that gives the same result is

       θ‘= 90 - θ

       θ' = 90 -24

       θ'= 66'

for this angle the maximum height is

 

          y = v_{oy}^2 / 2g

          y = (20 sin 66)²/2 9.8

           y = 17 m

thisis the correct

A certain wave has a wavelength of 45.0 meters and a frequency of 9.00 Hz. What is the speed of the wave? 405 m/s 5.00 m/s 0.200
kirill115 [55]

Wave speed  =  (wavelength)  x  (frequency)

                   =   (45 meters)   x   (9 per second)

                   =         405 meters per second .
