How much work in J does the string do on the boy if the boy stands still?
<span>answer: None. The equation for work is W = force x distance. Since the boy isn't moving, the distance is zero. Anything times zero is zero </span>

<span>How much work does the string do on the boy if the boy walks a horizontal distance of 11m away from the kite? </span>
<span>answer: might be a trick question since his direction away from the kite and his velocity weren't noted. Perhaps he just set the string down and walked away 11m from the kite. If he did this, it is the same as the first one...no work was done by the sting on the boy. </span>
<span>If he did walk backwards with no velocity indicated, and held the string and it stayed at 30 deg the answer would be: </span>
<span>4.5N + (boys negative acceleration * mass) = total force1 </span>
<span>work = total force1 x 11 meters </span>

<span>How much work does the string do on the boy if the boy walks a horizontal distance of 11m toward the kite? </span>
<span>answer: same as above only reversed: </span>
<span>4.5N - (boys negative acceleration * mass) = total force2 </span>
<span>work = total force2 x 11 meters</span>
Answer:
b
Explanation:
The space shuttle, in circular orbit around the Earth, collides with a small asteroid which ends up in the shuttle's storage bay.
This form of collision is called inelastic collision. And inelastic collision momentum is conserved but the kinetic energy is not conserved. Hence the correct option is b. only momentum is conserved.
If the rod is in rotational equilibrium, then the net torques acting on it is zero:
∑ τ = 0
Let's give the system a counterclockwise orientation, so that forces that would cause the rod to rotate counterclockwise act in the positive direction. Compute the magnitudes of each torque:
• at the left end,
τ = + (50 N) (2.0 m) = 100 N•m
• at the right end,
τ = - (200 N) (5.0 m) = - 1000 N•m
• at a point a distance d to the right of the pivot point,
τ = + (300 N) d
Then
∑ τ = 100 N•m - 1000 N•m + (300 N) d = 0
⇒ (300 N) d = 1100 N•m
⇒ d ≈ 3.7 m
Answer:
VR = 
Explanation:
A machine is a device that can be used to overcome a load by the application of an effort through a pivot. Examples are: pulleys, wedge, screw jack, wheel and axle etc.
The wheel and axle is a simple device that can be used to lift a load through a height. Its velocity ratio (VR) can be determined by:
VR =
Note that for a practical wheel and axle, the radius of the wheel is greater than the radius of the axle.
