Answer:

7200 Joules

Explanation:

Also joules means the SI unit of work or energy, equal to the work done by a force of one newton when its point of application moves one meter in the direction of action of the force, equivalent to one 3600th of a watt-hour.

Katen [24]

Answer:

a) T = 2.26 N, b) v = 1.68 m / s

Explanation:

We use Newton's second law

Let's set a reference system where the x-axis is radial and the y-axis is vertical, let's decompose the tension of the string

sin 30 = $\frac{T_x}{T}$

cos 30 = $\frac{T_y}{T}$

Tₓ = T sin 30

T_y = T cos 30

Y axis

T_y -W = 0

T cos 30 = mg (1)

X axis

Tₓ = m a

they relate it is centripetal

a = v² / r

we substitute

T sin 30 = m $\frac{v^2}{r}$ (2)

a) we substitute in 1

T = $\frac{mg }{cos 30}$

T = $\frac{ 0.2 \ 9.8}{cos \ 30}$

T = 2.26 N

b) from equation 2

v² = $\frac{T \ sin 30 \ r}{m}$

If we know the length of the string

sin 30 = r / L

r = L sin 30

we substitute

v² = $\frac{ T \ sin 30 \ L \ sin 30}{m}$

v² = $\frac{TL \ sin^2 30}{m}$

For the problem let us take L = 1 m

let's calculate

v = $\sqrt{ \frac{2.26 \ 1 \ sin^230}{0.2} }$

v = 1.68 m / s

A cart starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at 4.0 m/s2 for 5.0 s. It next maintains the velocity it has reached for 10 s.

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

12m/s

Explanation:

$v_f=v_o+at$

Let's call the velocity that the car maintains for 10 seconds $v_f_1$ , and the final velocity $v_f_2$ .

$v_f_1=0+(4)(5)=20m/s \\\\v_f_2=20+(-2)(4)=12m/s$

Hope this helps!

At ground level g is 9.8m/s^2. Suppose the earth started to increase its angular velocity. How long would a day be when people o

velikii [3]

Let s = rate of rotation
Let r = radius of earth = 6,400km 
Then solving (s^2) r = g will give the desired rate, from which length of day is inferred. 
People would not be thrown off. They would simply move eastward in a straight line while the curved surface of earth fell away from beneath them.

How long will it take to go 150km traveling at 50km/hr? step by step please

Zigmanuir [339]

To find out time, you put distance over speed. So you would have to put 150 over 50. You divide 150 by 50 and you would get 3. So your answer is 3 hours.
