Answer:
The work done on the wagon is 37 joules.
Explanation:
Given that,
The force applied by Charlie to the right, F = 37.2 N
The force applied by Sara to the left, F' = 22.4 N
We need to find the work done on the wagon after it has moved 2.50 meters to the right. The net force acting on the wagon is :



Work done on the wagon is given by the product of net force and displacement. It is given by :


W = 37 Joules
So, the work done on the wagon is 37 joules. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
141.14098 secs
Explanation:
Time taken to see the lightning flash can be gotten from:
Velocity = distance/time
Time = distance/velocity
Time = (47 * 1000)/(3 * 10^8)
Time = 0.0001567 secs
Time taken to hear the thunder can be gotten from:
Velocity = distance/time
Time = distance/velocity
Time = (47 * 1000)/(333)
Time = 141.14114 secs
The time lapse between the lightning flash and the thunder will be:
141.14114 - 0. 0001567
= 141.14098 secs
Answer: The observing friend will the swimmer moving at a speed of 0.25 m/s.
Explanation:
- Let <em>S</em> be the speed of the swimmer, given as 1.25 m/s
- Let
be the speed of the river's current given as 1.00 m/s.
- Note that this speed is the magnitude of the velocity which is a vector quantity.
- The direction of the swimmer is upstream.
Hence the resultant velocity is given as,
= S — S 0
= 1.25 — 1
= 0.25 m/s.
Therefore, the observing friend will see the swimmer moving at a speed of 0.25 m/s due to resistance produced by the current of the river.
