Question: A loader sack of total mass

is l000 grams falls down from

the floor of a lorry 200 cm high

Calculate the workdone by the

gravity of the load.

Answer:

19.6 Joules

Explanation:

Applying

W = mgh........................ Equation 1

Where W = Workdone by gravity on the load, m = mass of the loader sack, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity

From the question,

Given: m = 1000 grams = (1000/1000) kilogram = 1 kg, h = 200 cm = 2 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

W = (1×2×9.8)

W = 19.6 Joules

Hence the work done by gravity on the load is 19.6 Joules

A baseball of mass m = 0.31 kg is spun vertically on a massless string of length L = 0.51m. The string can only support a tensio

natulia [17]

Given data:

* The mass of the baseball is 0.31 kg.

* The length of the string is 0.51 m.

* The maximum tension in the string is 7.5 N.

Solution:

The centripetal force acting on the ball at the top of the loop is,

$\begin{gathered} T+mg=\frac{mv^2}{L}_{} \\ v^2=\frac{L(T+mg)}{m} \\ v=\sqrt[]{\frac{L(T+mg)}{m}} \end{gathered}$

For the maximum velocity of the ball at the top of the vertical circular motion,

$v_{\max }=\sqrt[]{\frac{L(T_{\max }+mg)}{m}}$

where g is the acceleration due to gravity,

Substituting the known values,

$\begin{gathered} v_{\max }=\sqrt[]{\frac{0.51(7.5_{}+0.31\times9.8)}{0.31}} \\ v_{\max }=\sqrt[]{\frac{0.51(10.538)}{0.31}} \\ v_{\max }=\sqrt[]{17.34} \\ v_{\max }=4.16\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}$

Thus, the maximum speed of the ball at the top of the vertical circular motion is 4.16 meters per second.

A 47-kg packing crate is pulled with constant speed across a rough floor with a rope that is at an angle of 37 degrees above the

levacccp [35]

Tension in the rope due to applied force will be given as

$F = 142 N$

angle of applied force with horizontal is 37 degree

displacement along the floor = 6.1 m

so here we can use the formula of work done

$W = F d cos\theta$

now we can plug in all values above

$W = 142 * 6.1 * cos37$

$W = 691.8 J$

So here work done to pull is given by 691.8 J

Gravity is _____ force between objects that are moving closer to one another.

pishuonlain [190]

Gravity is a pair of forces of attraction between every
two objects. Period !

It doesn't matter whether they're moving together, moving apart,
moving gracefully in synchrony, or at rest. The gravitational forces
of attraction between them are always there.
