A factory worker pushes a 31.0 kg crate a distance of 4.20 m along a level floor by pushing downward at an angle of 32.0 ∘ below

the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and floor is 0.260.
Now assume that, instead of the previous situation, the worker pushes harder (without changing the direction of his push), so that the crate moves with increasing speed. Assume the crate is pushed over the same displacement as before.

How much work is done on the crate by the force of friction during the displacement of 4.20 m when the pushing force is 118.00 N?

Answer:

W_{fr} = 281.539\,J

Explanation:

The kinetic force of friction is:

f = (0.260)\cdot (31\,kg) \cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}})\cdot \cos 32^{\textdegree}

f = 67.033\,N

Before calculating work, it is require to determine if force exerted on the crate is enough to move it at least. The equation of equilibrium for the crate is:

\Sigma F = F - f + m\cdot g \cdot \sin \theta = m \cdot a

The acceleration experimented by the crate is:

a = \frac{F-f}{m} + g\cdot \sin \theta

a = \frac{118\,N-67.033\,N}{31\,kg}+(9.807\,\frac{kg}{m^{2}} )\cdot \sin 32^{\textdegree}

a = 6.841\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

This positive result indicates that motion is physically reasonable. Hence, the work done by the force of friction is:

W_{fr} = (67.033\,N)\cdot (4.20\,m)

W_{fr} = 281.539\,J

A Carnot heat engine has an efficiency of 0.400. If it operates between a deep lake with a constant temperature of 298.0k and a
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

496.7 K

Explanation:

The efficiency of a Carnot engine is given by the equation:

\eta = 1 - \frac{T_H}{T_L}

where:

T_H is the temperature of the hot reservoir

T_C is the temperature of the cold reservoir

For the engine in the problem, we know that

\eta = 0.400 is the efficiency

T_C = 298.0 K is the temperature of the cold reservoir

Solving for T_H, we find:

\frac{T_C}{T_H}=1-\eta\\T_H = \frac{T_C}{1-\eta} =\frac{298.0}{1-0.400}=496.7 K

An airplane is moving at 350 km/hr. If a bomb is
Molodets [167]

Answers:

a) -171.402 m/s

b) 17.49 s

c) 1700.99 m

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the following equations:

y=y_{o}+V_{oy}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2} (1)

x=V_{ox}t (2)

V_{f}=V_{oy}-gt (3)

Where:

y=0 m is the bomb's final jeight

y_{o}=1.5 km \frac{1000 m}{1 km}=1500 m is the bomb'e initial height

V_{oy}=0 m/s is the bomb's initial vertical velocity, since the airplane was moving horizontally

t is the time

g=9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity

x is the bomb's range

V_{ox}=350 \frac{km}{h} \frac{1000 m}{1 km} \frac{1 h}{3600 s}=97.22 m/s is the bomb's initial horizontal velocity

V_{f} is the bomb's fina velocity

Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:

<h3>b) Time</h3>

With the conditions given above, equation (1) is now written as:

y_{o}=\frac{1}{2}gt^{2} (4)

Isolating t:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2 y_{o}}{g}} (5)

t=\sqrt{\frac{2 (1500 m)}{9.8 m/s^{2}}} (6)

t=17.49 s (7)

<h3>a) Final velocity</h3>

Since V_{oy}=0 m/s, equation (3) is written as:

V_{f}=-gt (8)

V_{f}=-(97.22)(17.49 s) (9)

V_{f}=-171.402 m/s (10) The negative sign ony indicates the direction is downwards

<h3>c) Range</h3>

Substituting (7) in (2):

x=(97.22 m/s)(17.49 s) (11)

x=1700.99 m (12)

What is needed to set a body in motion
kumpel [21]

Answer:

Newtons law

Explanation:

According to this law, a body at rest tends to stay at rest, and a body in motion tends to stay in motion, unless acted on by a net external force.

A rock with density 1900 kg/m3 is suspended from the lower end of a light string. When the rock is in air, the tension in the st
wel

Answer:

the tension T2 when the rock is completely immersed is T2 =  29.05 N

Explanation:

from Newton's second law

F= m*a

where F= force , m= mass , a= acceleration

when the rock is suspended ,a=0 since it is at rest. Then

T1 - m*g = 0 , T1= tension when suspended in air , g= gravity

assuming constant density of the rock

m= ρ rock *V , where  ρ rock = density of the rock , V= volume

thus

T1= m*g = ρ rock *g*V

V=  T1/(ρ rock *g)

when the rock is submerged in oil , it receives an upward force that equals the weight of the volume of displaced oil (V displaced). Since it is completely submerged the volume displaced is the volume of the rock V=Vdisplaced  

When the rock is at rest , then

F= m*a=0

T2 + ρ oil *g*V displaced - ρ rock *g*V  =0

T2 = ρ rock *g*V - ρ oil *g*V = g*V (ρ rock - ρ oil)

T2 = g*V (ρ rock - ρ oil) = T1/(ρ rock *g) *g * (ρ rock - ρ oil)

T2 = T1 * (ρ rock - ρ oil)/ρ rock

replacing values

T2 = 48 N * (1900 kg/m3- 750 kg/m3)/ 1900 kg/m3 = 29.05 N

T2 =  29.05 N
