A student is asked to determine the work done on a block of wood when the block is pulled horizontally using an attached string.

The student is supplied with a spring scale, a stopwatch, and a meterstick. Which of the following graphical analysis techniques will allow the student to determine the work done on the block by the string?
A. Graphing the force as a function of time and calculating the slope
B. Graphing the force as a function of time and calculating the area under the curve
C. Graphing the force as a function of distance and calculating the slope
D. Graphing the force as a function of distance and calculating the area under the curve

Answer:

The correct option is (D). "Graphing the force as a function of distance and calculating the area under the curve"

Explanation:

1) As we know from the definition of Work done which is Work = Force × Displacement. Time doesn't have any use in the mentioned equation and thus the stop watch is of no use to us.

2) Using the meter stick, we can measure the distance for which the block is pulled horizontally i.e "Displacement"

3) Using the spring scale, we can calculate the "Force" applied on the block of wood to move it horizontally.

4) For example, lets say that for a constant force of 4 Newtons, the wooden block is pulled horizontally 4 meters. Plotting Force vs Displacement on a graph would yield a horizontal line as shown in the attachment. Area under the F vs D graph will give us the total work done.

Block on inclined plane experience a force due to gravity of 300N straight down. If the slope is inclined at 67.8°to the horizon
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The component of the force due to gravity perpendicular and parallel to the slope is  113.4 N and 277.8 N respectively.

Explanation:

Force is any cause capable of modifying the state of motion or rest of a body or of producing a deformation in it. Any force can be decomposed into two vectors, so that the sum of both vectors matches the vector before decomposing. The decomposition of a force into its components can be done in any direction.

Taking into account the simple trigonometric relations, such as sine, cosine and tangent, the value of their components and the value of the angle of application, then the parallel and perpendicular components will be:

  • Fparallel = F*sinα =300 N*sin 67.8° =300 N*0.926⇒ Fparallel =277.8 N
  • Fperpendicular = F*cosα =  300 N*cos 67.8° = 300 N*0.378 ⇒ Fperpendicular= 113.4 N

<u><em>The component of the force due to gravity perpendicular and parallel to the slope is  113.4 N and 277.8 N respectively.</em></u>

A student has a small metal sphere that hangs from an insulating string. The student, in seeking to determine the charge on the
Leokris [45]

Answer:

the answer the correct one is c

Explanation:

Electric charges of different signs attract and those of the same sign repel. In addition, there are two types of insulating bodies, where the loads are fixed (immobile) and metallic (with mobile loads.

Let's analyze the situation presented

* A rod with positive approaches and the sphere is attracted, so the charge on the sphere is negative

* A rod with a negative charge approaches and the sphere is attracted, therefore the charge of the sphere must be positive.

For this to happen, the sphere must be unloaded and the charge that creates the phenomenon are induced charges because the mobile charges of the same sign as the sphere are repelled.

when checking the answer the correct one is c
