Since the position doesn't change over that time, it's zero
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
a) 178.6125 Joules
b) Work done does not depend on constant speed or acceleration up the ladder
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
Work done =Fd times the cosine of angle between;
where F is force d is distance m is the mass a is acceleration
.F=ma. In this case a=g=9.81 m/s^2 and cos 30=0.866
Therefore;
W= 75 × 9.81 × 2.75 × .866
= 178.6125 Joules
b. The work done by the painter does not depend on whether the painter climbs at constant speed or accelerates up the ladder.
W=3376.945 Joules
Explanation:
using the formula: S=ut+½gt², where u=0, S=?, g=8m/s², t=10seconds.
S=ut+½gt² ("ut" term will cancel because u=0).
=> S= ½gt²
=>S = ½×8×10²
=>S = 4×100
=>S = 400m .
Therefore, the distance traveled by the body in 10s is 400m.
hope this helps you.
