Answer:

This can spread their weight.

Explanation:

The ladder has a much larger surface area than the firefighter. Hence, his weight is spread out much more than usual, decreasing the pressure on the ice, preventing the ice from breaking/cracking.

Hope this helped!

A block of mass
Gennadij [26K]

(a) The work done by the applied force is 26.65 J.

(b) The work done by the normal force exerted by the table is 0.

(c) The work done by the force of gravity is 0.

(d) The work done by the net force on the block is 26.65 J.

<h3>Work done by the applied force</h3>

W = Fdcosθ

W = 14 x 2.1 x cos25

W = 26.65 J

<h3>Work done by the normal force</h3>

W = Fₙd

W = mg cosθ x d

W = (2.5 x 9.8) x cos(90) x 2.1

W = 0 J

<h3>Work done force of gravity</h3>

The work done by force of gravity is also zero, since the weight is at 90⁰ to the displacement.

<h3> Work done by the net force on the block</h3>

∑W = 0 + 26.65 J = 26.65 J

Thus, the work done by the applied force is 26.65 J.

The work done by the normal force exerted by the table is 0.

The work done by the force of gravity is 0.

The work done by the net force on the block is 26.65 J.

How much work does this force do as the particle moves along the x-axis from x = 0 to x = l? express your answer in terms of the
nydimaria [60]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

= F0 L ( 1 - 1/e )

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Work done is given as the product of force and distance.

In this case;

Work done  = ∫︎ F(x) dx  

                    = F0 ∫︎ e^(-x/L) dx  

                    = F0 [ -L e^(-x/L) ] between 0 and L  

                    = F0 L ( 1 - 1/e )

2 cannons fire projectiles upwards with the same velocity. The
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Two projectile is fired vertically upward

One has 4 times the mass of other

When Projectile is fired their trajectory is independent of mass of object. Also if they launched with same speed then both achieved same maximum height in same time and will hit the ground at the same moment.
