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:

$W_g=0J$

You launch a cannonball at an angle of 35° and an initial velocity of 36 m/s (assume y = y₁=

velikii [3]

Answer:

Approximately $4.2\; {\rm s}$ (assuming that the projectile was launched at angle of $35^{\circ}$ above the horizon.)

Explanation:

Initial vertical component of velocity:

$\begin{aligned}v_{y} &= v\, \sin(35^{\circ}) \\ &= (36\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}})\, (\sin(35^{\circ})) \\ &\approx 20.6\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}$ .

The question assumed that there is no drag on this projectile. Additionally, the altitude of this projectile just before landing $y_{1}$ is the same as the altitude $y_{0}$ at which this projectile was launched: $y_{0} = y_{1}$ .

Hence, the initial vertical velocity of this projectile would be the exact opposite of the vertical velocity of this projectile right before landing. Since the initial vertical velocity is $20.6\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ (upwards,) the vertical velocity right before landing would be $(-20.6\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}})$ (downwards.) The change in vertical velocity is:

$\begin{aligned}\Delta v_{y} &= (-20.6\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) - (20.6\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) \\ &= -41.2\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}$ .

Since there is no drag on this projectile, the vertical acceleration of this projectile would be $g$ . In other words, $a = g = -9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}$ .

Hence, the time it takes to achieve a (vertical) velocity change of $\Delta v_{y}$ would be:

$\begin{aligned} t &= \frac{\Delta v_{y}}{a_{y}} \\ &= \frac{-41.2\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}}{-9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}} \\ &\approx 4.2\; {\rm s} \end{aligned}$ .

Hence, this projectile would be in the air for approximately $4.2\; {\rm s}$ .

Basalt is pushed into the crust by subduction. It will most likely become _____.

suter [353]

Subduction is, "<span>the sideways and downward movement of the edge of a plate of the earth's crust into the mantle beneath another plate." The basalt would most likely be swallowed up into the ground.
Hope this is what you were looking for! :)

8. An effort force of 15 Newtons is applied to an ideal pulley system to lift up a 16 Newton object. If the effort force is exer

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

the distance that the object is raised above its initial position is 5.625 m.

Explanation:

Given;

applied effort, E = 15 N

load lifted by the ideal pulley system, L = 16 N

distance moved by the effort, d₁ = 6 m

let the distance moved by the object = d₂

For an ideal machine, the mechanical advantage is equal to the velocity ratio of the machine.

M.A = V.R

$M.A = \frac{Load}{Effort} = \frac{L}{E} \\\\V.R = \frac{disatnce \ moved \ by \ the \ effort}{disatnce \ moved \ by \ the \ load} = \frac{d_1}{d_2} \\\\For \ ideal \ machine; \ M.A = V.R\\\\\frac{L}{E} = \frac{d_1}{d_2} \\\\d_2 = \frac{E \times d_1}{L} \\\\d_2 = \frac{15 \times 6}{16} \\\\d_2 = 5.625 \ m$

Therefore, the distance that the object is raised above its initial position is 5.625 m.
