Define what is energy and work​

Physics
1 answer:
Mashutka [201]3 years ago
8 0

The work-energy principle states that an increase in the kinetic energy of a rigid body is caused by an equal amount of positive work done on the body by the resultant force acting on that body. Conversely, a decrease in kinetic energy is caused by an equal amount of negative work done by the resultant force.

A penny is dropped from the top of a building that is 300.0 m tall. Calculate the speed of the penny as it hits the ground. (met
Sauron [17]

We have the equation of motion s = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2, where s is the displacement, a is the acceleration, u is the initial velocity and t is the time taken.

Here s = 300 m, u = 0 m/s, a = 9.81 m/s^2

Substituting

   300 = 0*t+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*t^2\\ \\ 4.9t^2 = 300\\ \\ t =7.82 seconds

Now we have v = u+at, where v is the final velocity

Here u = 0 m/s, a= 9.81 m/s^2 and t = 7.82 seconds

Substituting

     v = 0+9.8*7.82 = 76.68 m/s

The speed with which the penny strikes the ground = 76.68 m/s.

When a cannon fires a cannonball, the cannon will recoil backward because the:
gulaghasi [49]

C) total linear momentum of the ball and cannon is conserved.

Basically it happens that in the beginning before there is a momentum acting on the two bodies, these are a unique system. Here the total momentum of the System is 0. However, when the positive momentum of the cannonball is added, the system will be immediately affected by a negative momentum which will pull back the cannon. Could this be extrapolated as a condition of Newton's third law.

Jake is helping Fin push a box at a constant velocity up an incline that makes an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal by applyin
andre [41]

Given data

The angle of inclination of the plane is theta = 30 degree

The applied force in the inclined plane is F = 94 N

The distance moved in the inclined plane is d = 2.30 m

The coefficient of kinetic friction is u_k = 0.280

The free-body diagram of the above configuration is shown below:

Here, the normal reaction force on the box is N, the acceleration due to gravity is denoted as g, the friction force on the box is F_f, and the mass of the box is denoted as m.

(a)

The expression for the work done by the pushing force is given as:

W=Fd

Substitute the value in the above equation.

\begin{gathered} W=94\text{ N}\times2.30\text{ m} \\ W=216.2\text{ J} \end{gathered}

Thus, the work done by the pushing force is 216.2 J.

(b)

The box is moving at the constant velocity, therefore, the pushing force will be equal to the frictional force and the component of the gravitational force in the inclined plane.

\begin{gathered} F=F_f+mg\sin \theta \\ F=\mu_kN+mg\sin \theta \end{gathered}

The expression for the normal reaction force is given as:

N=mg\cos \theta

The expression for the mass of the box is given as:

\begin{gathered} F=\mu_k\times mg\cos \theta+mg\sin \theta \\ m=\frac{F}{\mu_kg\cos \theta+g\sin \theta} \end{gathered}

Substitute the value in the above equation.

\begin{gathered} m=\frac{94\text{ N}}{0.28\times9.8m/s^2\times\cos 30^o+9.8m/s^2\times\sin 30^0} \\ m=12.9\text{ kg} \end{gathered}

Thus, the mass of the box is 12.9 kg.
