The work done by a constant force in a rectilinear motion is given by:
where F is the magnitude of the force, d is the distance and θ is the angle between the force and the displacement vector.
In this case we have two forces then we need to add the work done by each of them; for the first force we have a magnitude of 17 N, a displacement of 12 m and and angle of 0° (since both the displacement and the force point right); for the second force we have a magnitude of 36 N, a displacement of 12 m and an angle of 30°. Plugging these values we have that the total work is:
Therefore, the total work done is 578.123 J and the answer is option E
Answer : The correct option is, (D) A machine does 400 joules of work in 5 seconds.
Explanation :
Power : It is defined a the rate of doing work per unit time.
Formula used :
where,
P = power
w = work done
t = time
Now we have to determine the rate of power for the following options.
(A) A machine does 200 joules of work in 10 seconds.
(B) A machine does 400 joules of work in 10 seconds.
(C) A machine does 200 joules of work in 5 seconds.
(D) A machine does 400 joules of work in 5 seconds.
From this we conclude that, a machine does 400 joules of work in 5 seconds has the highest rate of power.
Hence, the correct option is, (D)
Answer:
<em>The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.41</em>
Explanation:
<u>Friction Force</u>
When an object is moving and encounters friction in the air or rough surfaces, it loses acceleration and velocity because the friction force opposes motion.
The friction force when an object is moving on a horizontal surface is calculated by:
[1]
Where is the coefficient of static or kinetics friction and N is the normal force.
If no forces other then the weight and the normal are acting upon the y-direction, then the weight and the normal are equal in magnitude:
N = W = m.g
The crate of m=20 Kg has a weight of:
W = 20*9.8
W = 196 N
The normal force is also N=196 N
We can find the coefficient of static friction by solving [1] for :
The friction force is equal to the minimum force required to start moving the object on the floor, thus Fr=80 N and:
The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.41
