The only force acting on a 3.0 kg canister that is moving in an xy plane has a magnitude of 5.0 N. The canister initially has a
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The work done on the canister by the 5.0 N force during this time is

54.06 Joules.

Explanation:

Let the initial kinetic energy of the canister be

KE₁ = \frac{1}{2} mv_1^{2} = \frac{1}{2} *3*3.6^{2} = 19.44 J in the x direction

Let the the final kinetic energy of the canister be

KE₂ = \frac{1}{2} mv_2^{2} = \frac{1}{2} *3*7.0^{2} = 73.5 J in the y direction

Therefore from the Newton's first law of motion, the effect of the force is the change of momentum and the difference in energy between the initial and the final

= 73.5 J - 19.44 J = 54.06 J

If you throw a raw egg against a wall, you'll break it, but if you throw it with the same speed into a sagging sheet it won't br
SashulF [63]
<span>The egg doesn't break when it hits the sheet because the impact time is longer. Momentum means the egg is slowed rather than coming to an abrubt halt. The softer the object that the egg hits, the longer the time it takes to break. A sheet is so soft that the force is never high enough for the egg to break.</span>

An astronaut takes an object to the moon where there is less gravity. Explain how the mass and weight of the object on the moon
alexandr1967 [171]
The mass of the object will remain the same rather it's on the moon or on the Earth and even in other places. But the weight will change on the moon, so its weight will be different from the one it had on Earth

Compare and contrast the health benefits and the amount of physical or mental energy needed between active leisure activities an
dolphi86 [110]
This is the answer "Some active leisure activities, such as yoga and running, require a great deal of physical energy, while other activities, like playing chess, require a substantial amount of mental energy. Passive leisure activities, such as watching TV or going to the movies, require little to no physical or mental energy. Because of the exertion of physical or mental energy, active leisure activities have more health benefits than passive leisure activities." hope it help you?:)
