A 50-kg box is being pushed a distance of 8.0 m across the floor by a force P with arrow whose magnitude is 159 N. The force P w

ith arrow is parallel to the displacement of the box. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.24. Determine the work done on the box by each of the four forces that act on the box. Be sure to include the proper plus or minus sign for the work done by each force. (The floor is level and horizontal. Forces that act on the box: pushing force P, frictional force f, normal force N, and weight mg.)

Answer:

Wp = 1,272 J

Wf = -940.8 J

Wn = 0

Wg = 0

Explanation:

  • Applying the definition of work, as the product of the component of the  force applied, along the direction of the displacement, times the displacement, we find that due to the normal force is always perpendicular to the surface, it does no work, as it has not a component in the direction of the displacement, so Wn = 0.
  • As the weight goes directly downward, it has no component in the direction of the displacement either, so Wg = 0.
  • We can get the work done by the force applied P, simply as follows:

        W_{p} = F_{p} * d * cos \theta = 159 N * 8.0 m * cos 0 = 1,272 J (1)

  • Finally, we have the work done by the force of friction that always opposes to the displacement, so it has negative sign.
  • The frictional force , can be written as follows:

        F_{fr} = \mu k * F_{n} (2)

        where μk = coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.24

         Fn = Normal Force

  • In this case, since the surface is level and horizontal, and there is no acceleration of the box in the vertical direction, this means that the normal force (in magnitude) must be equal to the weight:
  • Fn = m*g = 50 kg * 9.8 m/s2 = 490 N
  • Replacing these values in (2), we get:

       F_{fr} = 0.24 * 50 kg* 9.8 m/s2 = 117.6 N

  • Applying the definition of work, we can get the work done by the frictional force, as follows:

        W_{ffr} = F_{fr} * d * cos \theta = F_{fr} * d * cos (180) = - F_{fr} * d = -117.6 N * 8.0 m \\ =  W_{ffr} = -940.8 N

In March 2006, two small satellites were discovered orbiting Pluto, one at a distance of 48,000 km and the other at 64,000 km. P
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer

given,

distance of first satellite = 48,000 Km

distance of second satellite = 64,000 Km

orbital period = 6.39 day

Using equation of time period

  T = \dfrac{2\pi r^{3/2}}{\sqrt{Gm_{pluto}}}

now, from the above equation we can say that only variable is Time period and r is the radii of orbit.

from the first satellite

   \dfrac{T_{charon}}{r^{3/2}_{charon}}=\dfrac{T_{sat1}}{r^{3/2}_{sat1}}

   T_{sat1}=\dfrac{T_{charon}\ r^{3/2}}{r^{3/2}_{charon}}

   T_{sat1}=\dfrac{6.39\times (48000)^{3/2}}{19600^{3/2}}

   T_{sat1}=24.5\ days

for second satellite

   T_{sat2}=\dfrac{T_{charon}\ r^{3/2}_{sat2}}{r^{3/2}_{charon}}

   T_{sat1}=\dfrac{6.39\times (64000)^{3/2}}{19600^{3/2}}

   T_{sat1}=37.7\ days

How many neutrons are contained in 2 kg? Mass of one neutron is 1.67x10-27 kg.
liraira [26]

Answer:

1.2 × 10^27 neutrons

Explanation:

If one neutron = 1.67 × 10^-27 kg

then in 2kg...the number of neutrons

; 2 ÷ 1.67 × 10^-27

There are.... 1.2 × 10^27 neutrons
