Answer:
25N
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Power of the motor = 125W
Average speed = 5m/s
Unknown:
Force supplied to the motor = ?
Solution:
Work done is the force applied to move a body through a particular distance;
Work done = Force x distance
Also,
Work done = Power x time
So;
Force x distance = Power x time
since force is the unknown;
Force =
Speed =
Force =
Now solve;
Force = = 25N
Answer:
The free-body diagram of the cannonball is found in the attachment below
<em>Note The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:</em>
<em>A cannonball has just been shot out of a cannon aimed 45∘ above the horizontal rightward direction. Drag forces cannot be neglected.</em>
<em>Draw the free-body diagram of the cannonball.</em>
Explanation:
Free-body diagrams are diagrams used to show the relative magnitude and direction of all forces acting upon an object in a given situation.
In order to construct free-body diagrams, it is important to know the various types of forces acting on the object in that situation. Then, the direction in which each of the forces is acting is determined. Finally the given object is drawn using any given representation, usually a box, and the direction of action of the forces are represented using arrows.
In the given situation of a cannonball which has just been shot out of a cannon aimed 45∘ above the horizontal rightward direction., the forces acting on it are:
F = force exerted by the cannon acting in the direction of angle of projection
Fdrag = drag force. The drag force acts in a direction opposite to the force exerted by the cannon
Fw = weight of the cannonball acting in a downward direction
The free body diagram is as shown in the attachment below.
