A man is pulling a 20 kg box with a rope that makes an angle of 60 with the horizontal.If he applies a force of 150 N and a fric

tional force of 15 N is present, calculate the acceleration of the box.

∑ <em>F</em> (horizontal) = (150 N) cos(60°) - 15 N = (20 kg) <em>a</em>

==> <em>a</em> = ((150 N) cos(60°) - 15 N)/(20 kg) = 3 m/s²

A stone is dropped from a tower 100 meters above the ground. The stone falls past ground level and into a well. It hits the wate

lilavasa [31]

Take the stone's position at ground level to be the origin, and the downward direction to be negative. Then its position in the air $y$ at time $t$ is given by

$y=100\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2t^2$

Let $d$ be the depth of the well. The stone hits the bottom of the well after 5.00 s, so that

$-d=100\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2(5.00\,\mathrm s)^2\implies d=\boxed{22.6\,\mathrm m}$

Work is done on a locked door that remains closed while you try to pull it open. True False.

dsp73

Answer:False

Explanation:

Work is being done on a body when it causes displacement of body on the application of force

$Work\ done=Force\times displacement$

When we pull the door by a force it causes zero displacements of the door. So we can say that work done on it is zero.

Thus the above-given statement is false
