How fast a car goes is known as its speed.

Speed = (distance covered) divided by (time to cover the distance)

It has nothing to do with the direction the car is going.
______________________________________

The car's velocity is its speed AND the direction it's going.

30 miles per hour . . . speed

40 miles per hour north . . . velocity

20 miles per hour south
20 miles per hour west . . . . . same speed, different velocity

-- 'Velocity' is NOT a big word that you use when you mean
'speed' but you want to sound smarter.  It's a different thing.

-- If you don't know anything about the direction the car is going,
then you can't say anything about its velocity.

-- If the car is going around a curve, then its velocity is constantly
changing, even if its speed is constant.

A factory worker pushes a crate of mass 31.0 kg a distance of 4.35 m along a level floor at constant velocity by pushing horizon
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

a. 79.1 N

b. 344 J

c. 344 J

d. 0 J

e. 0 J

Explanation:

a. Since the crate has a constant velocity, its net force must be 0 according to Newton's 1st law. The push force F_p by the worker must be equal to the friction force F_f on the crate, which is the product of friction coefficient μ and normal force N:

Let g = 9.81 m/s2

F_p = F_f = \mu N = \mu mg = 0.26 * 31 * 9.81 = 79.1 N

b. The work is done on the crate by this force is the product of its force F_p and the distance traveled s = 4.35

W_p = F_ps = 79.1*4.35 = 344 J

c. The work is done on the crate by friction force is also the product of friction force and the distance traveled s = 4.35

W_f = F_fs = -79.1*4.35 = -344 J

This work is negative because the friction vector is in the opposite direction with the distance vector

d. As both the normal force and gravity are perpendicular to the distance vector, the work done by those forces is 0. In other words, these forces do not make any work.

e. The total work done on the crate would be sum of the work done by the pushing force and the work done by friction

W_p + W_f = 344 - 344 = 0 J

An athlete whirls a 7.00 kg hammer 1.8 m from the axis of rotation in a horizontal circle, as
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

A-500 N

Explanation:

The computation of the tension in the chain is shown below

As we know that

F = ma

where

F denotes force

m denotes mass = 7

And, a denotes acceleration

Now for the acceleration we have to do the following calculations

The speed (v) of the hammer is

v = Angular speed × radius

where,

Angular seed = 2 × π ÷ Time Period

So, v = 2 × π × r ÷ P

v = 2 × 3.14 × 1.8 ÷ 1

= 11.304 m/s

Now

a = v^2 ÷ r

= 70.98912 m/s^2

Now the tension is  

T = F = m × a

= 7 × 70.98912

= 496.92384 N

= 500 N
