A person pushes a 15.7-kg shopping cart at a constant velocity for a distance of 25.9 m on a flat horizontal surface. She pushes

in a direction 23.7 ° below the horizontal. A 32.7-N frictional force opposes the motion of the cart. (a) What is the magnitude of the force that the shopper exerts? Determine the work done by (b) the pushing force, (c) the frictional force, and (d) the gravitational force.

Answer:

a) F = 35.7 N, b) W = 846.7 J, c) W = - 846.9 J, d) W=0

Explanation:

a) For this exercise let's use Newton's second law, let's set a reference frame with the x-axis horizontally

let's break down the pushing force.

cos (-23,7) = Fₓ / F

sin (-237) = F_y / F

Fₓ = F cos 23.7 = F 0.916

F_y = F sin (-23.7) = - F 0.402

Y axis

N- W - F_y = 0

N = W + F 0.402

X axis

Fₓ - fr = 0

F 0.916 = fr

F = fr / 0.916

F = 32.7 / 0.916

F = 35.7 N

It is asked to calculate several jobs

b) the work of the pushing force

W = fx x

W = 35.7 cos 23.7 25.9

W = 846.7 J

c) friction force work

W = F x cos tea

friction force opposes movement

W = - fr x

W = - 32.7 25.9

W = - 846.9 J

d) The work of the force would gravitate, as the displacement and the force of gravity are at 90º, the work is zero

W = 0

A voltmeter with resistance rv is connected across the terminals of a battery of emf e and internal resistance r. Find the poten

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

V = I(R+r)

Explanation:

According to ohms law, the current (I) passing through a metallic conductor at constant temperature is directly proportional to the potential difference (V) across its end.

Mathematically, V= IR where V is the potential difference

I is the current

R is resistance

Given emf (E) = IRt... (1)

where E is the emf

Rt is the total equivalent resistance

The external resistance Rv is connected in series with the internal resistance 'r' to give total equivalent resistance Rt = (R+r)

Substituting in equation 1

E = I(R+r)

The equivalent potential difference V = I(R+r)

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surfac

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

v = 1.2 m/s

Explanation:

The wavelength of the waves is given as the horizontal distance between the crests:

λ = wavelength = 5.5 m

Now, the time period is given as the time taken by boat to move from the highest point again to the highest point. So it will be equal to twice the time taken by the boat to travel from highest to the lowest point:

T = Time Period = 2(2.3 s) = 4.6 s

Now, the speed of the wave is given as:

$v = f\lambda$

where,

v= speed of wave = ?

f = frequency of wave = $\frac{1}{T} = \frac{1}{4.6\ s} = 0.217\ Hz$

Therefore,

$v = (0.217\ Hz)(5.5\ m)\\$

<u>v = 1.2 m/s</u>

A rock is thrown downward from a height of 207 m with an initial velocity of 5.37 m/s. Approximately how fast will it it be movi

Zolol [24]

List the known information:

$x_0=207 \text{ m}\\v_0=-5.37 \text{ m/s}\\t=3.03 \text{ s}\\a=-g=-9.8 \text{ m/s}^2$

Use the kinematic equation $v=v_0+at$ .

Plug in the given values:

$v=-5.37 \text{ m/s}+(-9.8 \text{ m/s}^2)(3.03 \text{ s})=-35.064 \text{ m/s}$

This would be 35.064 m/s downward, or 35 m/s downward with significant figures taken into account.

sattari [20]

Answer:

Visible light

X rays

ultraviolet radiation

gamma rays

microwave radiation

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields which vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave (transverse wave). Electromagnetic waves have all same speed in a vacuum ( $c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$ , known as speed of light) and are classified into 7 different types according to their frequency and wavelength. This classification is called electromagnetic spectrum.

From lowest to highest wavelength, the 7 types are:

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet radiation

Visible light

Infrared radiation

Microwaves

Radio waves

Sound waves, on the contrary, do not belong to the electromagnetic spectrum, since they are another type of wave called mechanical waves (which consist of vibrations of the particles in a medium).
