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

A string under a tension of 68 N is used to whirl a rock in a horizontal circle of radius 3.7 m at a speed of 16.53 m/s. The str
alekssr [168]

Answer:

F = 5253.7 N

Explanation:

As we know that tension force in the string will be equal to the centripetal force on the string

so we will have

T = \frac{mv^2}{L}

now we have

68 = \frac{m(16.53^2)}{3.7}

now we have

68 = 73.8 m

m = 0.92 kg

now when string length is 0.896 m and its speed is 71.5 m/s then we will have

F = \frac{mv^2}{r}

F = \frac{0.92(71.5^2)}{0.896}

F = 5253.7 N

The net force acting on a 5 kg discus is 50 n. what is the acceleration of the discus
Lyrx [107]
Answer: 10 m/s^2

Explanation:

1) The second law of Newton gives the definition and formula to calculate the net force:

Net force acting on an object = mass * acceleration.

2) From that, when you know the net force acting of the object and its mass, you can solve for the acceleration:

acceleration = Net force / mass

acceleration = 50 N / 5 kg = 10 m/s^2, which is the answer.

Simple machines are divided into two main categories. Levers and inclined planes.<br> True or false
avanturin [10]
The answer is False.  Simple machines are divided into three main categories, and not two.  They are Levers, inclined planes and Pulleys. <span>These three simple machines all change force in such a way that it makes it easier for us to move an object. </span>

Chapter 36, Problem 007 Light of wavelength 586 nm is incident on a narrow slit. The angle between the first diffraction minimum
svp [43]

Answer:

d =4.77\times 10^{-5}\ m

Explanation:

given

wavelength of light  λ = 479 nm

                                   = 479 x 10⁻⁹ m

the angle

θ = 1.15 / 2 = 0.575°                

using                                              

condition for diffraction minimum ,

         d sinθ = m λ                        

for first minimum m = 1

       d sinθ = λ                      

therefore ,

slit width                                  

d =\dfrac{\lambda}{sin\theta}          

d =\dfrac{479\times 10^{-9}}{sin 0.575^0}

d =\dfrac{479\times 10^{-9}}{0.01}              

d =4.77\times 10^{-5}\ m                                                    

hence, the width of the slit is equal to d =4.77\times 10^{-5}\ m
