Answer:

d = 2 [m].

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the principle of conservation of energy, where the mechanical energy in a state plus the work done on the body, must be equal to the mechanical energy in the state E. This can be easily represented in the following equation.

E_{A}+W_{A-E}=E_{E}

where:

Ea = Mechanical energy in A [J]

Wa-e = Work among states a and e [J]

Ee = Mechanical energy in E [J].

The key to being able to understand this problem is that in state A, we only have kinetic energy, while the energy in state E is equal to zero (there is no movement). The work is equal to the product of force by distance, as work acts in the opposite direction to movement, this has a negative sign.

10 - F*d = 0\\5*d = 10\\d = 10/5\\d = 2 [m]

Lincoln weighs 400 newtons. What’s his mass rounded to the nearest kilogram? Assume that acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 N/kg
Yanka [14]
Weight equals mass times gravitational acceleration=400N, so mass=400/9.8=41kg approx.

You have designed a machine that requires 1000 J of work from a motor for every 800 J of useful work done by the machine. What i
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

80%

Explanation:

efficiency =   \frac{useful \: work \: done}{total \: energy \: input}

800 / 1000 = 0.8

Efficiency = 0.8 *100 = 80%
