A boy in a wheelchair (total mass 54.5 kg) has speed 1.40 m/s at the crest of a slope 2.10 m high and 12.4 m long. At the bottom

of the slope his speed is 6.60 m/s. Assume air resistance and rolling resistance can be modeled as a constant friction force of 41.0 N. Find the work he did in pushing forward on his wheels during the downhill ride.

Answer:

630.75 j

Explanation:

from the question we have the following

total mass (m) = 54.5 kg

initial speed (Vi) = 1.4 m/s

final speed (Vf) = 6.6 m/s

frictional force (FF) = 41 N

height of slope (h) = 2.1 m

length of slope (d) = 12.4 m

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^2

work done (wd) = ?

  • we can calculate the work done by the boy in pushing the chair using the law of law of conservation of energy

wd + mgh = (0.5 mVf^2) - (0.5 mVi^2) + (FF x  d)

wd = (0.5 mVf^2) - (0.5 mVi^2) + (FF x  d) - (mgh)

where wd = work done

m = mass

h = height

g = acceleration due to gravity

FF = frictional force

d = distance

Vf and Vi = final and initial velocity

wd =  (0.5 x 54.5 x 6.9^2) - (0.5 x 54.5 x 1.4^2) + (41 x 12.4) - (54.5 X 9.8 X 2.1)            

wd = 630.75 j

For a cylindrical capacitor, the capacitance does not depend on which of the following values?
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Capacitance of cylindrical capacitor does not depends on the amount of charge on the conductors

Explanation:

Consider a cylindrical capacitor of length L, inner radius R₁ and outer radius R₂, permitivity ε₀ constant then capacitance of cylindrical capacitor is given by:

C=\frac{2\pi \epsilon_{o}L}{ln\frac{R_{2} }{R_{1}} }

From this equation it is clear that capacitance of cylindrical capacitor is independent of the amount of charge on the conductors where as directly  proportional permitivity constant and length of cylinder where as inversely proportional to natural log of ratio of  R₂ and R₁

Planet Nine is speculated to be on average 20 times farther away from the Sun than Neptune (on average distance from the Sun). H
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The distance is 55.636 billion miles, or 528.2 AU.

Explanation:

Since the distance from the Sun to Neptune is 2.7818 billion miles, the distance from the Sun to Planet Nine would be 20 times that, which is:

d=(20)(2781800000\ miles)=55636000000\ miles

or 55.636 billion miles.

Since 1 astronomical unit (AU) is 93 million miles, that distance is also:

d=(55636000000\ miles)(\frac{1AU}{93000000\ miles})=598.2\ AU

A 0.03 kg golf ball is hit off the tee at a speed of 34 m/s. The golf club was in contact with the ball for 0.003 s. What is the
Liula [17]

Answer:

The average force on ball by the golf club is 340 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the golf ball, m = 0.03 kg

Initial speed of the ball, u = 0

Final speed of the ball, v = 34 m/s

Time of contact, \Delta t=0.003\ s

We need to find the average force on ball by the golf club. We know that the rate of change of momentum is equal to the net external force applied such that :

F=\dfrac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}\\\\F=\dfrac{mv-mu}{\Delta t}\\\\F=\dfrac{mv}{\Delta t}\\\\F=\dfrac{0.03\ kg\times 34\ m/s}{0.003\ s}\\\\F=340\ N

So, the average force on ball by the golf club is 340 N.

Suppose two objects are gravitationally attracted to each other with some force F. If the mass of object 1 is multiplied by a fa
RoseWind [281]

If F = Gm₁m₂/d², and we change m₁ to 5m₁ and m₂ to 2m₂, then the new magnitude of the gravitational force is

F' = G (5m₁) (2m₂) / d²

F' = 10  Gm₁m₂ / d²

but this is really just F' = 10F. So J is the correct choice.

There is a uniform magnetic field of magnitude B, pervading all space, perpendicular to the plane of rod and rails. The rod is r
Charra [1.4K]

The right hand rule to find the direction of the magnetic field for a falling bar is:

  • The charge is positive the magnetic field is outgoing, horizontally and towards us.
  • The charge of the bar is negative, the magnetic field is incoming, that is horizontal away from us.

The magnetic force is given by the vector product of the velocity and the magnetic field.

        F = q v x B

Where the bolds indicate vectors, F is the force, q the charge on the particle, v the velocity and B the magnetic field.

In the vector product, the vectors are perpendicular, which is why the right-hand rule has been established, see attached:

  • The thumb points in the direction of speed.
  • Fingers extended in the direction of the magnetic field.
  • The palm is in the direction of the force if the charge is positive and in the opposite direction if the charge is negative.

They indicate that the bar is dropped, therefore its speed is vertical and downwards, it moves to the left therefore this is the direction of the force, we use the right hand rule, the magnetic field must be horizontal, we have two possibilities:

  • If the charge is positive the magnetic field is outgoing, horizontally and towards us.
  • If the charge of the bar is negative, the magnetic field is incoming, that is, horizontal away from us

In conclusion using the right hand rule we can find the direction of the magnetic field for a falling bar is:

  • The charge of the bar is negative, the magnetic field is incoming, that is horizontal away from us.
  • The charge is positive the magnetic field is outgoing, horizontally and towards us.
