A :-) work = force x distance
W = 85 x 15
W = 1275 joules

.:. The work done is 1275 joules

Answer:

1275J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force on box = 85N

Distance moved = 15m

Unknown:

Work done = ?

Solution:

Work done is the amount of force applied on a body to move it through a specific distance.

Work done = Force x distance

Now insert the parameters and solve;

Work done = 85 x 15 = 1275J

Why is the air drag on a baseball different than it would be for a smooth ball with no stitches? How does this apply to the desi

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

The stitches and dimples around a baseball and a golf ball respectively, disturbs the air drag on the balls once they are in motion, allowing the them to travel more easily.

Explanation:

The stitches on a baseball disturbs the air drag on the ball when the ball is in motion, allowing the ball to travel more easily. Depending on the orientation of the ball in flight, the drag changes as the flow is disturbed by the stitches.

A smooth ball with no stitches or dimples has more air drag that opposes the motion.

A golf ball is smooth ball with dimples to create a thin turbulent boundary layer of air that clings to the ball's surface. This allows the smoothly flowing air to follow the ball's surface a little farther around the back side of the ball, thereby decreasing the size of the wake, and allowing the ball to travel more easily.

QUESTION 7

ryzh [129]

Answer:

The force required is 3,104 N

Explanation:

Force

According to the second Newton's law, the net force exerted by an external agent on an object of mass m is:

F = ma

Where a is the acceleration of the object.

On the other hand, the equations of the Kinematics describe the motion of the object by the equation:

$v_f=v_o+at$

Where:

vf is the final speed

vo is the initial speed

a is the acceleration

t is the time

Solving for a:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}$

We are given the initial speed as vo=20.4 m/s, the final speed as vf=0 (at rest), and the time taken to stop the car as t=7.4 s. The acceleration is:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{0-20.4}{7.4}$

$a=-2.757\ m/s^2$

The acceleration is negative because the car is braking (losing speed). Now compute the force exerted on the car of mass m=1,126 kg:

$F = 1,126\ kg * 2.757\ m/s^2$

F= 3,104 N

The force required is 3,104 N

A sample of helium gas has a volume of 900. milliliters and a pressure of 2.50 atm at 298 K. What is the new pressure when the t

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The new pressure = 5.64 atm.

Explanation:

Using The general gas equation,

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂..................... Equation 1

making P₂ the subject of the equation

P₂ = P₁V₁T₂/V₂T₁ ...................... Equation 2

Where P₁ = initial pressure, V₁ = initial Volume, T₁ = Initial temperature, P₂ = final pressure, V₂ = final volume, T₂ = final Temperature.

Given: P ₁= 2.5 atm, T₁ = 298 K, V₁= 900 milliliters, T ₂= 336 K, V₂ = 450 milliliters

Substituting these values into equation 2,

P₂ = (2.5×900×336)/(298×450)

P₂ = 756000/134100

P₂ = 5.64 atm.

Thus the new pressure = 5.64 atm.

The time constant for RC circuit with the values of R1 and C1 is 5ms. What will be the time constant for a new RC circuit with t

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

d. 25 ms

Explanation:

In a RC circuit we call time constant to the product of the resistance times the capacitance, which represents the time when the charge reaches to the 63% of the final value, as follows:

$\tau_{1} = R_{1} *C_{1} = 5 ms (1)$

If we have a new circuit with new values for R and C, the time constant will be defined in the same way, as follows:

$\tau_{2} =10* R_{1} *0.5*C_{1} = 5*(R_{1}* C_{1}) = 5* \tau_{1} = 5* 5 ms = 25 ms (2)$
