Answer:

A. 780 J

B. 120 J

C. 660 J

Explanation:

From the question given above the following data were obtained:

Dragging force (Fₔ) = 65 N

Distance (s) = 12 m

Force of friction (Fբ) = 10 N

A. Determination of the work done by the dragging force.

Dragging force (Fₔ) = 65 N

Distance (s) = 12 m

Workdone (Wd) by dragging force =?

Wd = Fₔ × s

Wd = 65 × 12

Wd = 780 J

Therefore, the work done by the dragging force is 780 J

B. Determination of the work done by friction.

Distance (s) = 12 m

Force of friction (Fբ) = 10 N

Workdone (Wd) by friction =?

Wd = Fբ × s

Wd = 10 × 12

Wd = 120 J

Therefore, the work done by friction is 120 J

C. Determination of the net work done on the box.

Dragging force (Fₔ) = 65 N

Distance (s) = 12 m

Force of friction (Fբ) = 10 N

Net work done (Wd) =?

Next, we shall determine the net force acting on the box. This can be obtained as follow:

Dragging force (Fₔ) = 65 N

Force of friction (Fբ) = 10 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = Fₔ – Fբ

Fₙ = 65 – 10

Fₙ = 55 N

Thus, the net force acting on the box is 55 N

Finally, we shall determine the net work done on the box as follow:

Distance (s) = 12 m

Net force (Fₙ) = 55 N

Net work done (Wd) =?

Wd = Fₙ × s

Wd = 55 × 12

Wd = 660 J

Therefore, the net work done on the box is 660 J

Add the vectors:

Anettt [7]

Vector 1 has components

$x_1=(10\,\mathrm m)\cos20^\circ\approx9.40\,\mathrm m$

$y_1=(10\,\mathrm m)\sin20^\circ\approx3.42\,\mathrm m$

and vector 2 has

$x_2=(10\,\mathrm m)\cos80^\circ\approx1.74\,\mathrm m$

$y_2=(10\,\mathrm m)\sin80^\circ\approx9.85\,\mathrm m$

Add these vectors to get the resultant, which has components

$x_{\rm total}\approx11.133\,\mathrm m$

$y_{\rm total}\approx13.268\,\mathrm m$

The magnitude of the resultant is

$\sqrt{{x_{\rm total}}^2+{y_{\rm total}}^2}\approx17.321\,\mathrm m$

with direction $\theta$ such that

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{y_{\rm total}}{x_{\rm total}}\implies\theta\approx50^\circ$

or about 50º N of E.

How does sound intensity differ from loudness?

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Sound intensity is the amount of energy carried by sound versus loudness is a subjective measurement of the audible sound.

Sound intensity is measured in watt per square meter where loudness is measured in sones (sone is a subjective measurement and not an SI unit)

A boat with a mass of 1000 kg drifts with the current down a straight section of river parallel to the +x+x axis with a speed of

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Explanation:

Our values are defined by,

$m=1000kg\\v = 2m/s\\a = 2.7 \angle 45\°$

We can express also in a vectorial way, then

$v=2\hat{i} \rightarrow$ no values in $\hat{j}$

Acceleration as follow,

$a= 2.7cos45 \hat{i} + 2.7 sin45 \hat{j}$

We know that velocity is given by,

$V(t) = v_0+at \rightarrow v_0 = 2$

We need to calculate for t=3, then

$v(3) = 2\hat{i} +(2.7cos45 \hat{i} + 2.7 sin45 \hat{j})*3$

$v(3) = (2\hat{i}+3*2.7cos45 \hat{i})+(3*2.7 sin45 \hat{j})$

$v(3) = (2+3*2.7cos45)\hat{i}+(5.7 sin45 )\hat{j}$

$v(3) = 7.7\hat{i}+5.7\hat{j}$

Our mass is 1000Kg, so the momentum is

$P = mv$

$P= 1000(7.7\hat{i}+5.7\hat{j})$

$P=7700\hat{i}+5700\hat{j}$

heat is simply another word for?A.All the above B.Temperature C.Thermal energy that flows from hot to cold D.Thermal energy

natka813 [3]

'Heat' is another term to describe thermal energy, whether the thermal energy
just sits in some object or substance, or flows from one object to another one
that's cooler.

'Heat' is NOT another word for 'Temperature'. If you think of it that way,
then you'll have a hard time UNlearning that idea and getting yourself
unmuddled and straightened out. Please don't even go there.
