Answer:

<h3>12,015Joules</h3>

Explanation:

Work is said to be done when the force applied to an object cause it to move over a distance.

Workdone = Force * Distance

Given

Force = 2670 N

Distance = 4.5 meters

Substitute the given values

Work done = 2670 * 4.5

Workdone = 12,015Joules

<em>Hence the amount of work done by the forklift is 12,015Joules</em>

Copernicus's heliocentric theory stated that the planets orbited in perfectly circular orbits. In reality, they are shaped like ellipses (ovals).

A skateboarder is moving at 1.75 m/s when she starts going up an incline that causes an acceleration of -0.20 m/s2

Rudiy27

Answer:

Approximately $7.66\; \rm m$ .

Explanation:

<h3>Solve this question with a speed-time plot</h3>

The skateboarder started with an initial speed of $u = 1.75\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ and came to a stop when her speed became $v = 0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ . How much time would that take if her acceleration is $a = -0.20\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ ?

$\begin{aligned} t &= \frac{v - u}{a} \\ &= \frac{0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} - 1.75\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}}{-0.20\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}} \approx 8.75\; \rm s\end{aligned}$ .

Refer to the speed-time graph in the diagram attached. This diagram shows the velocity-time plot of this skateboarder between the time she reached the incline and the time when she came to a stop. This plot, along with the vertical speed axis and the horizontal time axis, form a triangle. The area of this triangle should be equal to the distance that the skateboarder travelled while she was moving up this incline until she came to a stop. For this particular question, that area is approximately equal to:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} \times 1.75\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} \times 8.75\; \rm s \approx 7.66\; \rm m$ .

In other words, the skateboarder travelled $15.3\; \rm m$ up the slope until she came to a stop.

<h3>Solve this question with an SUVAT equation</h3>

A more general equation for this kind of motion is:

$\displaystyle x = \frac{1}{2}\, (u + v) \, t = \frac{1}{2}\, (u + v)\cdot \frac{v - u}{a}= \frac{v^2 - u^2}{2\, a}$ ,

where:

$u$ and $v$ are the initial and final velocity of the object,
$a$ is the constant acceleration that changed the velocity of this object from $u$ to $v$ , and
$x$ is the distance that this object travelled while its velocity changed from $u$ to $v$ .

For the skateboarder in this question:

$\begin{aligned}x &= \frac{v^2 - u^2}{2\, a}\\ &= \frac{\left(0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)^2 - \left(1.75\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)^2}{2\times \left(-0.20\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}\right)}\approx 7.66\; \rm m \end{aligned}$ .
