How much work do you do on a 15 N book in lifting it straight up for a distance of<br> 0.40 meters?

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Work done, W = 6 J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force of gravity acting on the book, weight of the book is 15 N

We need to find the work done in lifting the book straight up for a distance of 0.4 meters.

The weight of the book is acting in downward direction and the book is lifted straight up, it means angle between them is 180 degrees. Work done is given by :

$W=Fd\cos180\\\\W=15\times 0.4\times \cos180\\\\W=-6\ J$

So, the magnitude of work done in lifting the book is 6 joules.

The critical angle between a medium and air is 430. What is the speed of light in that medium?

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The speed of light is that medium is 281907786.2 m/s.

Explanation:

since the critical angle is Фc = 430, we know that the refractive index is given by:

n = 1/sin(Фc)

= 1/sin(430)

= 1.06

then if n is the refractive index of the medium and c is the speed of light, then the speed of light in the medium is given by:

v = c/n

= (3×10^8)/(1.06)

= 281907786.2 m/s

Therefore, the speed of light is that medium is 281907786.2 m/s.

As a box slides down a ramp, friction does 23.0 joules of work. At the bottom of the ramp, the box has 3.8 joules of kinetic ene

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The high of the ramp is 2.81[m]

Explanation:

This is a problem where it applies energy conservation, that is part of the potential energy as it descends the block is transformed into kinetic energy.

If the bottom of the ramp is taken as a potential energy reference point, this point will have a potential energy value equal to zero.

We can find the mass of the box using the kinetic energy and the speed of the box at the bottom of the ramp.

$E_{k}=0.5*m*v^{2}\\\\where:\\E_{k}=3.8[J]\\v = 2.8[m/s]\\m=\frac{E_{k}}{0.5*v^{2} } \\m=\frac{3.8}{0.5*2.8^{2} } \\m=0.969[kg]$

Now applying the energy conservation theorem which tells us that the initial kinetic energy plus the work done and the potential energy is equal to the final kinetic energy of the body, we propose the following equation.

$E_{p}+W_{f}=E_{k}\\where:\\E_{p}= potential energy [J]\\W_{f}=23[J]\\E_{k}=3.8[J]\\$

And therefore

$m*g*h + W_{f}=3.8\\ 0.969*9.81*h - 23= 3.8\\h = \frac{23+3.8}{0.969*9.81}\\ h = 2.81[m]$
