Answer:
the answers are
W = 1271.256 J
= 361.81 J
Explanation:
The mass of the trunk (m) = 46kg
angle between the ramp and the horizontal (θ) = 42°
The trunk is pulled at a displacement (d) up the ramp = 3m
The coefficient of kinetic friction between the trunk and the ramp = 0.36
The trunk is moving with a constant velocity therefore the net force on it is zero, therefore the force required to move the trunk must be equal to the summation of forces opposing the trunk
The two forces opposing the trunk are
- the gravitational force directed down the ramp
and
- the frictional force between the ramp and the trunk
We have to calculate the machine's force which is equal to sum of the
=
θ
μ× N
N = mgcosθ
μ
θ
F = mg (sinθ + μcosθ)
F = 46× 9.8 (sin42 + 0.36×cos42)
F= 450.8 (0.67 +0.27)
F = 450.8 × 0.94
F = 423.752N
to calculate the workdone on the trunk by the machine force
The workdone on the trunk is = W = F × dcosΘ
Θ = 0° because the trunk is directed parallel to the ramp
W =423.752× 3 cos 0
W = 423.752 ×3
W = 1271.256 J
(b) the increase in thermal energy of the trunk and the ramp
Friction converts mechanical energy into thermal energy, so multiplying the frictional force with the distance gives the thermal energy generated by the trunk
× d
= μθ ×d
= 0.36 ×46×9.8×cos42×3
= 361.81 J

Answer:
a. If an object's speed is constant, then its acceleration must be zero.
FALSE
As we know that acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity
so we can not say anything about the acceleration when speed is given to as and no information is given about velocity
b. If an object's acceleration is zero, then its speed must be constant.
TRUE
As we know that acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity
Since we know that if acceleration is 0 then velocity must be constant and hence speed is also constant
c. If an object's velocity is constant, then its speed must be constant.
TRUE
Since velocity is constant then it shows that its magnitude and direction both are constant so its speed is also constant.
d. If an object's acceleration is zero, its velocity must be constant.
TRUE
As we know that acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity
Since we know that if acceleration is 0 then velocity must be constant
e. If an object's speed is constant, then its velocity must be constant.
FALSE
Speed is just the magnitude so we can not say about its direction and hence if speed is constant then velocity may or may not change
