Sasha lifts a couch 8.2 meters from the ground floor of her house to the attic. If the couch has a mass of 120 kg, what is the g
gavmur [86]

As we know that gravitational potential energy is given by

U = mgH

here we have

m = mass = 120 kg

g = 9.81 m/s^2

h = height = 8.2 m

now from above formula

U = 120kg (9.81 m/s^2) (8.2 m)

U = 9653.04 J

so above is the gravitational potential energy of the couch

The normal force acting on an object and the force of static friction do zero work on the object. However the reason that the wo
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

<em>The normal force is perpendicular to the displacement</em>

<em>The static friction force produces no displacement</em>

Explanation:

Work Done By Special Forces

The work is a physical magnitude that measures the dot product of the force applied to an object by the displacement it produces in it.

W=\vec F\ \vec r

It can be written in its scalar version as

W=F.d.cos\theta

Being F and d the magnitudes of the force and displacement, and \theta the angle between them

If the angle is zero, the work is at maximum, it the angle is 90°, the work is zero. If the angle is between 90° and 180°, the work is negative.

The normal force acts in the vertical direction when the object is being pushed horizontally. It means the angle between the force and the displacement is 90°, thus the work is

W=N.d.cos90^o=0

The work is zero because the force and the displacement are perpendicular

The static friction force exists only when the object is being applied a force of a magnitude not large enough to produce movement, i.e. the object is at rest. If the object is moved, the friction force is still present, but it's called dynamic friction force, usually smaller than the static.

Since in this case, there is no displacement, d=0, and the work is

W=F_r(0)cos180^o=0

g a small smetal sphere, carrying a net charge is held stationarry. what is the speed are 0.4 m apart
weeeeeb [17]

Complete Question

A small metal sphere, carrying a net charge q1=−2μC, is held in a stationary position by insulating supports. A second small metal sphere, with a net charge of q2= -8μC and mass 1.50g, is projected toward q1. When the two spheres are 0.80m apart, q2 is moving toward q1 with speed 20ms−1. Assume that the two spheres can be treated as point charges. You can ignore the force of gravity.The speed of q2 when the spheres are 0.400m apart is.

Answer:

The value v_2  =  4 \sqrt{10} \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  charge on the first sphere is  q_1  =  2\mu C  =  2*10^{-6} \  C

    The charge on the second sphere is  q_2 =  8 \mu C = 8*10^{-6} \  C

     The  mass of the second charge is m  =  1.50 \  g  =  1.50 *10^{-3} \ kg

      The  distance apart is  d =  0.4 \  m

      The  speed of the second  sphere is  v_1  =  20 \  ms^{-1}

Generally the total energy possessed by when q_2 and  q_1 are separated by 0.8 \  m is mathematically represented

     Q =  KE + U

Here KE   is  the kinetic energy which is mathematically represented as

     KE  =  \frac{1 }{2}  m (v_1)^2

substituting value

     KE  =  \frac{1 }{2}  * ( 1.50 *10^{-3}) (20 )^2

     KE  =  0.3 \  J

And  U is  the  potential  energy which is mathematically represented as

        U  =  \frac{k *  q_1 *  q_2  }{d }

substituting values

       U  =  \frac{9*10^9 *  2*10^{-6} * 8*10^{-6}  }{0.8 }

      U  =  0.18 \  J

So

       Q =  0.3 +  0.18

       Q =  0.48 \  J

Generally the total energy possessed by when q_2 and  q_1 are separated by 0.4 \  m is mathematically represented

         Q_f =  KE_f + U_f

Here KE_f is  the kinetic energy which is mathematically represented as

     KE_f  =  \frac{1 }{2}  m (v_2^2

substituting value

     KE_f  =  \frac{1 }{2}  * ( 1.50 *10^{-3}) (v_2 )^2

     KE_f  =  7.50 *10^{ -4} (v_2 )^2

And  U_f is  the  potential  energy which is mathematically represented as

        U_f  =  \frac{k *  q_1 *  q_2  }{d }

substituting values

       U_f  =  \frac{9*10^9 *  2*10^{-6} * 8*10^{-6}  }{0.4 }

      U_f  =  0.36 \  J

From the law of energy conservation

     Q =  Q_f

So

    0.48 =  0.36 +(7.50 *10^{-4} v_2^2)

   v_2  =  4 \sqrt{10} \  m/s
