A factory worker pushes a 32.0 kg crate a distance of 7.0 m along a level floor at constant velocity by pushing horizontally on

it. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and floor is 0.26.
Required:
a. What magnitude of force must the worker apply?
b. How much work is done on the crate by this force?
c. How much work is done on the crate by friction?
d. How much work is done on the crate by the normal force? By gravity?
e. What is the total work done on the crate?

Answer:

(a) 81.54 N

(b) 570.75 J

(c) - 570.75 J

(d) 0 J, 0 J

(e) 0 J  

Explanation:

mass of crate, m = 32 kg

distance, s = 7 m

coefficient of friction = 0.26

(a) As it is moving with constant velocity so the force applied is equal to the friction force.

F = 0.26 x m x g = 0.26 x 32 x 9.8 = 81.54 N

(b) The work done on the crate

W = F x s = 81.54 x 7 = 570.75 J

(c) Work done by the friction

W' = - W = - 570.75 J

(d) Work done by the normal force

W'' = m g cos 90 = 0 J

Work done by the gravity

Wg = m g cos 90 = 0 J

(e) The total work done is

Wnet = W + W' + W'' + Wg = 570.75 - 570.75 + 0 = 0 J

An electron that has a velocity with x component 2.4 x 106 m/s and y component 3.6 x 106 m/s moves through a uniform magnetic fi
likoan [24]

Answer:

(a) 7.315 x 10^(-14) N

(b) - 7.315 x 10^(-14) N

Explanation:

As you referred at the final remark, the electron and proton undergo a magnetic force of same magnitude but opposite direction. Using the definition of magnetic force,  a cross product must be done. One technique is either calculate the magnitude of the velocity and magnetic field and multiplying by sin (90°), but it is necessary to assure both vectors are perpendicular between each other ( which is not the case) or do directly the cross product dealing with a determinant (which is the most convenient approach), thus,

(a) The electron has a velocity defined as:  \overrightarrow{v}=(2.4x10^{6} i + 3.6x10^{6} j) \frac{[m]}{[s]}\\\\

In respect to the magnetic field; \overrightarrow{B}=(0.027 i - 0.15 j) [T]

The magnetic force can be written as;

\overrightarrow{F} = q(\overrightarrow{v} x \overrightarrow{B})\\ \\\\\overrightarrow{F}= q \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\2.4x10^{6}&3.6x10^{6}&0\\0.027&-0.15&0\end{array}\right]

Bear in mind q =-1.6021x10^{-19} [C]  

thus,

\overrightarrow{F}= q \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\2.4x10^{6}&3.6x10^{6}&0\\0.027&-0.15&0\end{array}\right]\\\\\\\overrightarrow{F}= q(2.4x10^{6}* (-0.15)- (0.027*3.6x10^{6}))\\\\\\\overrightarrow{F}= -1.6021x10^{-19} [C](-457200) [T]\frac{m}{s}\\\\\overrightarrow{F}=(7.3152x10^{-14}) k [\frac{N*m/s}{C*m/s}]\\\\|F|= \sqrt{ (7.3152x10^{-14})^{2}[N]^2 *k^{2}}\\\\F=7.3152x10^{-14} [N]

Note: The cross product is operated as a determinant. Likewise, the product of the unit vector k is squared and that is operated as dot product whose value is equal to one, i.e, k^{2}=k\cdot k = 1

(b) Considering the proton charge has the same magnitude as electron does, but the sign is positive, thus

\overrightarrow{F}= q \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\2.4x10^{6}&3.6x10^{6}&0\\0.027&-0.15&0\end{array}\right]\\\\\\\overrightarrow{F}= q(2.4x10^{6}* (-0.15)- (0.027*3.6x10^{6}))\\\\\\\overrightarrow{F}= 1.6021x10^{-19} [C](-457200) [T]\frac{m}{s}\\\\\overrightarrow{F}=(-7.3152x10^{-14}) k [\frac{N*m/s}{C*m/s}]\\\\|F|= \sqrt{ (-7.3152x10^{-14})^{2}[N]^2 *k^{2}}\\\\F=-7.3152x10^{-14} [N]

Note: The cross product is operated as a determinant. Likewise, the product of the unit vector k is squared and that is operated as dot product whose value is equal to one, i.e, k^{2}=k\cdot k = 1

Final remarks: The cross product was performed in R3 due to the geometrical conditions of the problem.

A small metal cube measures 2.5 cm on one side. The mass of the cube is 1129.56 g. What is the density of the cube?
attashe74 [19]

-- volume = (length)(width)(height)

-- Since the cube is a cube, its three dimensions are all the same number.

Volume = (2.5cm)(2.5cm)(2.5cm)

Volume = 15.625 cubic cm

-- density = (mass) / (volume)

Density = (1129.56g) / (15.625cm^3)

Density = 72.3 g/cm^3

(roughly 3.2 TIMES the density of the most dense naturally occurring substance on Earth)

Answer: ANULAR ECLIPSE. Since the moon is too far, it will cover only a part of the sun, and only the external ring of the moon will be visible; this is called anular eclipse.

2) </span><span>anyone looking from the night side of earth can, in principle, see a -->
Answer: LUNAR ECLIPSE. If the moon is the right position, and the Earth's shadow covers partially or totally the moon, then a lunar eclipse occurs.

Answer: PENUMBRA. 

4) </span><span>a ... can occur only when the moon is new and has an angular size larger than the sun in the sky -->
Answer: TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE. When the moon is new, it means it is between the sun and the Earth, and its dark side faces the Earth. If the moon's angular size is also larger than the sun angular size, than it will completely cover the sun, and a total solar eclipse occurs.

5) </span><span>a partial lunar eclipse begins when the moon first touches earth's --> 
Answer: SHADOW. The Earth's shadow will start to cover the moon, and partial lunar eclipse will start.

Answer: NODE. Eclipses occur only when the Moon is at or close to a node, otherwise sun, earth and moon are not "aligned".</span>

Average velocity is different than average speed because calculating average velocity involves ?
Studentka2010 [4]
Direction!

Velocity is a vector quantity and speed is a scalar quantity. Vector quantities includes both magnitude and direction, while scalar quantities only have magnitude. :)
