The rate at which a force displaces a mass a horizontal distance is measured in?
1 answer:
Answer:
c. joules
Explanation:
The rate at which a force displaces a mass a horizontal distance is measured in joules. In science, this phenomenon is known as work done.
Work done can be defined as the rate at which a force acting on an object or a body causes it to experience a displacement. The work done is a scalar quantity and is measured in joules (J).
Mathematically, work done is given by the formula;
Work done = force * distance
Where,
- W is the work done
- F represents the force acting on a body.
- d represents the distance covered by the body.

Answer:
A) 37 m
Explanation:
The car is moving of uniformly accelerated motion, so the distance it covers can be calculated by using the following SUVAT equation:
(1)
where
v = 0 m/s is the final velocity of the car
u = 24 m/s is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
d is the length of the skid
We need to find the acceleration first. We know that the force responsible for the (de)celeration is the force of friction, so:
where
m = 1000 kg is the mass of the car
is the coefficient of friction
a is the deceleration of the car
g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity
The negative sign is due to the fact that the force of friction is against the motion of the car, so the sign of the acceleration will be negative because the car is slowing down. From this equation, we find:
And we can substitute it into eq.(1) to find d:
Answer:
The horizontal distance travelled in that time lapse is 12.94 m
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem, we'll need:
- The horizontal speed
- the time the hammer takes to fall from the roof to the ground
At the lowest point of the roof, the hammer has a 9.88 m/s speed that makes an angle of 27° with the horizontal, so we can calculate the horizontal and vertical speed with trigonometry. If we take right as x positive and down as y positive we get
Now, we make two movement equation as we have a URM (no acceleration) in x and an ARM (gravity as acceleration) in y. We will wisely pick the lowest point of the roof as the origin of coordinates
Now we calculate the time the hammer takes to get to the floor
or
Now, we keep the positive time result and calculate the horizontal distance travelled
