Complete question

a man is trying to pull a box a distance of 3 m with a force of 20 N that makes a 35º with the horizontal. Find the workdone

Work done = Fdsin theta

Force F = 20N

distance d = 3m

theta = 35 degrees

Substitute

Workdone = 20(3)sin 35

Workdone = 60sin35

Workdone = 34.4Joules

Hence the workdone by the man is 34.4Joules

Which statement best describes a device that has a high energy efficiency? Its ratio of energy absorbed to energy released is hi

Stels [109]

Answer:

It wastes little energy

Explanation:

The efficiency of a machine refers to the ratio of work output to the work input as a percentage.
The efficiency of most machines is less than 100% because some work is lost due to friction and heat.
Therefore, a machine with high efficiency has less wastage of energy due to factors such as friction of the moving parts. Conversely, low efficiency means there is more wastage of energy.

An empty parallel plate capacitor is connected between the terminals of a 18.8-V battery and charges up. The capacitor is then d

Basile [38]

Answer:

$p.d' = 37.6 V$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Potential difference $p.d=18.8V$

New Capacitor $C_1=C_2/2$

Generally the equation for Capacitor capacitance is mathematically given by

$C=\frac{eA}{d}$

Generally the equation for New p.d' is mathematically given by

$C_2V=C_1*p.d'$

$p.d' = 2V$

$p.d'= 2 * 18.8$

$p.d' = 37.6 V$

A car and a lorry are about to collide. When they collide the two vehicles become tightly locked together. The lorry is going at

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

The speed of the vehicles immediately after the collision is 5.84 m/s.

Explanation:

The speed of the vehicles after the collision can be found by conservation of linear momentum:

$p_{i} = p_{f}$

$m_{1}v_{1_{i}} + m_{2}v_{2_{i}} = m_{1}v_{1_{f}} + m_{2}v_{2_{f}}$

Where:

m₁: is the mass of the car = 0.5 ton = 500 kg

m₂: is the mass of the lorry = 9.5 ton = 9500 kg

$v_{1_{i}}$ : is the initial speed of the car = 40 km/h = 11.11 m/s

$v_{2_{i}}$ : is the initial speed of the lorry = 20 km/h = 5.56 m/s

$v_{1_{f}}$ : is the final speed of the car =?

$v_{2_{f}}$ : is the final speed of the lorry =?

Since the two vehicles become tightly locked together after the collision $v_{1_{f}}$ = $v_{2_{f}}$ :

$m_{1}v_{1_{i}} + m_{2}v_{2_{i}} = v(m_{1} + m_{2})$

$v = \frac{m_{1}v_{1_{i}} + m_{2}v_{2_{i}}}{m_{1} + m_{2}} = \frac{500 kg*11.11 m/s + 9500 kg*5.56 m/s}{500 kg + 9500 kg} = 5.84 m/s$

Therefore, the speed of the vehicles immediately after the collision is 5.84 m/s.

I hope it helps you!
