Answer:
Expression of work done is
Work done to move the sled is given as 187.2 J
Explanation:
As we know that the formula of work done is given as
here we know that
F = 12.6 N
d = 15.4 m
so we will have
Answer:
v= 4.0 m/s
Explanation:
- When standing on the bathroom scale within the moving elevator, there are two forces acting on Henry's mass: Normal force and gravity.
- Gravity is always downward, and normal force is perpendicular to the surface on which the mass is located (the bathroom scale), in upward direction.
- Normal force, can adopt any value needed to match the acceleration of the mass, according to Newton's 2nd Law.
- Gravity (which we call weight near the Earth's surface) can be calculated as follows:
- According to Newton's 2nd Law, it must be met the following condition:
- As the gravity is larger than normal force, this means that the acceleration is downward, so, we choose this direction as the positive.
- Solving for a, we get:
- We can find the speed after the first 3.8 s (assuming a is constant), applying the definition of acceleration as the rate of change of velocity:
- Now, if during the next 3.8 s, normal force is 930 N (same as the weight), this means that both forces are equal each other, so net force is 0.
- According to Newton's 2nd Law, if net force is 0, the object is either or at rest, or moving at a constant speed.
- As the elevator was moving, the only choice is that it is moving at a constant speed, the same that it had when the scale was read for the first time, i.e., 4 m/s downward.
