Answer:

(a) 508.37 m

(b) 47.53 s

(c) 21.165 m

(d) 19.365 m

Explanation:

initial velocity, u = 77 km/h = 21.39 m/s

acceleration, a = - 0.45 m/s^2

(a) final velocity, v = 0

Let the distance traveled is s.

Use third equation of motion

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as

0^{2}=21.39^{2}-2 \times 0.45 \times s

s = 508.37 m

(b) Let t be the time taken to stop.

Use first equation of motion

v = u + at

0 = 21.39 - 0.45 t

t = 47.53 s

(c) Use the formula for the distance traveled in nth second

s_{n^{th}=u+\frac{1}{2}a\left ( 2n-1 \right )}

where n be the number of second, a be the acceleration, u be the initial velocity.

put n = 1, u = 21.39 m/s , a = - 0.45m/s^2

s_{n^{th}=21.39-\frac{1}{2}\times 0.45\left ( 2\times 1-1 \right )}

s_{n^{th}=21.165m

(d)  Use the formula for the distance traveled in nth second

s_{n^{th}=u+\frac{1}{2}a\left ( 2n-1 \right )}

where n be the number of second, a be the acceleration, u be the initial velocity.

put n = 5, u = 21.39 m/s , a = - 0.45m/s^2

s_{n^{th}=21.39-\frac{1}{2}\times 0.45\left ( 2\times 5-1 \right )}

s_{n^{th}=19.365m

Using a horizontal force of 60 N, a wagon is pushed horizontally across the floor a distance of 12 meters at a constant speed of
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

a) The work done by the force is 720 joules, b) The power supplied by the force is 138 watts.

Explanation:

a) Since force is uniform and parallel to the direction of motion, the work (W), in joules, done by the force (F), in newtons, is defined by this formula:

W = F\cdot s (1)

Where s is the travelled distance, in meters.

If we know that F = 60\,N and s = 12\,m, then the work done by the force is:

W = F\cdot s

W = (60\,N)\cdot (12\,m)

W = 720\,J

The work done by the force is 720 joules.

b) And an expression for the power supplied by the force (\dot W), in watts, is concieved by differentiating (1) in time:

\dot W = F\cdot \dot s

Where \dot s is the speed of the wagon, in meters per second.

If we know that F = 60\,N and \dot s = 2.3\,\frac{m}{s}, then the power supplied by the force is:

\dot W = F\cdot \dot s

\dot W = (60\,N)\cdot \left(2.3\,\frac{m}{s} \right)

\dot W = 138\,W

The power supplied by the force is 138 watts.
