Answer:

Relative dating is used to determine a fossils approximate age by comparing it to similar rocks and fossils of known ages. Absolute dating is used to determine a precise age of a fossil by using radiometric dating to measure the decay of isotopes, either within the fossil or more often the rocks associated with it.

A factory worker pushes a crate of mass 31.0 kg a distance of 4.35 m along a level floor at constant velocity by pushing horizon
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

a. 79.1 N

b. 344 J

c. 344 J

d. 0 J

e. 0 J

Explanation:

a. Since the crate has a constant velocity, its net force must be 0 according to Newton's 1st law. The push force F_p by the worker must be equal to the friction force F_f on the crate, which is the product of friction coefficient μ and normal force N:

Let g = 9.81 m/s2

F_p = F_f = \mu N = \mu mg = 0.26 * 31 * 9.81 = 79.1 N

b. The work is done on the crate by this force is the product of its force F_p and the distance traveled s = 4.35

W_p = F_ps = 79.1*4.35 = 344 J

c. The work is done on the crate by friction force is also the product of friction force and the distance traveled s = 4.35

W_f = F_fs = -79.1*4.35 = -344 J

This work is negative because the friction vector is in the opposite direction with the distance vector

d. As both the normal force and gravity are perpendicular to the distance vector, the work done by those forces is 0. In other words, these forces do not make any work.

e. The total work done on the crate would be sum of the work done by the pushing force and the work done by friction

W_p + W_f = 344 - 344 = 0 J

8TH GRADE SCIENCE I NEED NOW DO NOT SKIP
yan [13]

Explanation:

1. Force=mass*acceleration

acceleration=force/mass

=100/50

=2m/s^2

2. Gravitational force for downward acceleration= mg-ma=m(g-a) , since a is less than g,

So it will be= 50(9.8-2)

=50(7.8)= 390N

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Mount Rushmore is a very well built sculpture. It is visited by millions of people each year to see 60-foot tall images of the American presidents; George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Rosevelt which are carved into the Black Hills of South Dakota. Mount Rushmore has faced many controversies too. The land it was built on is sacred to Native Americans. The Sioux were also forced to leave the land, after lots of battles
