Answer:

20 Joules

Explanation:

Work is done whenever a force moves a body through a certain distance in the direction of the force. So, work done is the product of force and distance moved.

Therefore, we have;

Work done = Force x distance

i.e   Wd = Fs

Given that: F = 20 N and s = 1 m, then;

Wd = 20 N x 1 m

     = 20 Nm

The work done by the father is 20 Joules(Nm).

Angelina jumps off a stool. As she is falling, the Earth’s gravitational force on her is larger in magnitude than the gravitatio
valentinak56 [21]
The answer is True. The amount force exerted by any object is directly proportional to its mass. This means that our planet is exerting more gravitational force to Angelina, and Angelina is also exerting a gravitational force on our planet directly proportional to her mass. Angelina is actually falling towards the center of the earth,and also our planet is also moving towards Angelina, but it seems negligible with respect to Angelina.Our Sun is so massive that it held our planet in its orbit because of its gravitational force.

Two forces act on a 41-kg object. One force has magnitude 65 N directed 59° clockwise from the positive x-axis, and the other ha
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

a = 1.41 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that

mass ,m= 41 kg

F₁ = 65 N , θ = 59°

F₂ = 35 N ,θ = 32°

The component of Force F₁

F₁x= F₁cos59° i

F₁x= 65 x cos59° i = 33.47 i

F₁y= - F₁ sin 59° j

F₁y= - 65 x sin 59° j = - 55.71 j

The component of Force F₂

F₂x= F₂ sin 32° i

F₂x= 35 x sin 32° i = 18.54 i

F₂y=  F₂ cos 32° j

F₂y=  35 x cos 32° j =  29.68 j

The total force F

F= 33.47 i +   18.54 i - 55.71 j +   29.68 j

F= 52.01 i - 26.03 j

The magnitude of the force F

F=\sqrt{52.01^2+26.03 ^2}\ N

F=58.16 N

We know that

F= m a

a= Acceleration

m=mass

58.16 = 41 x a

a = 1.41 m/s²
