1. What is work done in holding a 15kg suitcase while waiting for a bus for 15 minutes?

1 answer:

6 0

Work is (force applied) x (distance through which the force moves).

Since the suitcase doesn't move up or down during the 15 minutes,
no work is done ... zero, zip, nada ... according to the real Physics
definition of 'work'.

Consider the three dip1acement vectors A = (3i - 3j) m, B = (i-4j) m, and C = (-2i + 5j) m. Use the component method to determin

tia_tia [17]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

A=3i-3j m

B=i-4 j m

C=-2i+5j m

a. $D=A+B+C$

$D=3i-3j+i-4j-2i+5j$

$D=2i-2j$

Compare with the vector r=xi+yj

We get x=2 and y=-2

Magnitude= $\mid D\mid=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}=\sqrt{(2)^2+(-2)^2}=2\sqrt 2$ units

By using the formula $\mid r\mid=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$

Direction: $\theta=tan^{-1}\frac{y}{x}$

By using the formula

Direction of D: $\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{-2}{2})=tan^{-1}(-1)=tan^{-1}(-tan45^{\circ})=-45^{\circ}$

b.E=-A-B+C

$E=-3i+3j-i+4j-2i+5j$

$E=-6i+12j$

$\mid E\mid=\sqrt{(-6)^2+(12)^2}=13.4$ units

Direction of E= $\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{12}{-6}=tan^{-1}(-2)=-63.4^{\circ}$

A ball is thrown horizontally from a window that is 15.4 meters high at a speed of 3.01 m/s. How far will the ball go before hit

tia_tia [17]

The distance travelled by the ball that is thrown horizontally from a window that is 15.4 meters high at a speed of 3.01 m/s is 5.34 m

s = ut + 1 / 2 at²

s = Distance

u = Initial velocity

t = Time

a = Acceleration

Vertically,

s = 15.4 m

u = 0

a = 9.8 m / s²

15.4 = 0 + ( 1 / 2 * 9.8 * t² )

t² = 3.14

t = 1.77 s

Horizontally,

u = 3.01 m / s

a = 0 ( Since there is no external force )

s = ( 3.01 * 1.77 ) + 0

s = 5.34 m

Therefore, the distance travelled by the ball before hitting the ground is 5.34 m

The amount of friction divided by the weight of an object forms a unit less number called the

Romashka [77]

Answer:

Coefficient of friction.

Explanation:

The amount of friction divided by the weight of an object is equal to the coefficient of friction. It is a dimensional less number. It can be given by :

$F=\mu N$

N is normal force.

$\mu$ = coefficient of friction

$\mu=\dfrac{F}{N}$
