A student pushed a box 32.0 m across a smooth, horizontal floor using a constant force of 124 N. If the force was applied for 8.
2 answers:
The power developed is 500 W ( to the nearest Watt)
Power(P) is the rate at which work is done. Work done (W) is the product of the force applied on the object and the displacement (s) made by the point of application of the force.
Therefore,
Substitute the given values of force , displacement and time
Thus the Power can be rounded off to the nearest value of 500 W

Answer:
6.25 m/s
Explanation:
mass of man (m1) = 80 kg
mass of boy (m2) = 20 kg
mass of man and boy after collision (m12)= 20 + 80 = 100 kg
velocity of man and boy after collision (v) = 2.5 m/s
angle θ = 60 °
How fast was the boy moving just before the collision ?
- From the diagram attached, the first image shows the man and the boys motion while the second diagram shows their motion rearranged to form a triangle. With the momentum of the man and the boy forming the sides of the triangle.
- M₁₂ = total momentum after collision = m12 x v = 100 x 2.5 = 250
- Mboy = momentum of the boy before collision = m2 x Velocity of boy
- Mman = momentum of the man before collision = m1 x velocity of man
- from the triangle, cos θ =
cos 60 =
Mboy = 250 x cos 60 = 125
- recall that momentum of the boy (Mboy) also = m2 x Velocity of boy
therefore
125 = 20 x velocity of boy
velocity of boy = 125 / 20 = 6.25 m/s
