Wnet = net work (done by the net force)
KE = kinetic energy = (1/2)mv2
m = 45 kg
vo = 0 m/s (starts at rest)
vf = 12 m/s (final speed)

What effect does the time taken to lift the mass have on power output?

sineoko [7]

The longer the time taken, the lower the power output.

This is since power is calculated through

Energy transferred / time

Increasing the denominator will lead to a lower value overall

3) A driver in a 1000-kg car traveling at 24 m/s slams on the brakes and skids to a stop. If the coefticient of friction between

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

A) 37 m

Explanation:

The car is moving of uniformly accelerated motion, so the distance it covers can be calculated by using the following SUVAT equation:

$v^2 -u^2 = 2ad$ (1)

where

v = 0 m/s is the final velocity of the car

u = 24 m/s is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

d is the length of the skid

We need to find the acceleration first. We know that the force responsible for the (de)celeration is the force of friction, so:

$F=ma=-\mu mg$

where

m = 1000 kg is the mass of the car

$\mu = 0.80$ is the coefficient of friction

a is the deceleration of the car

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

The negative sign is due to the fact that the force of friction is against the motion of the car, so the sign of the acceleration will be negative because the car is slowing down. From this equation, we find:

$a=-\mu g$

And we can substitute it into eq.(1) to find d:

$v^2 -u^2 = 2(\-mu g) d\\d= \frac{v^2-u^2}{-2 \mu g}=\frac{0-(24 m/s)^2}{-2(0.80)(9.8 m/s^2)}=36.7 m \sim 37 m$

The minimum energy needed to eject an electron from a sodium atom is 4.41 x 10-19 j. what is the maximum wavelength of light, in

Minchanka [31]

The energy of an electron as it is ejected from the atom can be calculated from the product of the Planck's constant and the frequency of the light energy. We can calculate the wavelength from the frequency we can calculate. We do as follows:

E = hv
4.41 x 10-19 = 6.62607004 × 10<span>-34 (v)
v = 6.66x10^14 /s

wavelength = speed of light / frequency
</span>
wavelength = 3x10^8 / 6.66x10^14
wavelength = 4.51x10^-7 m = 450.75 nm

The magnitude of the electrical force acting between a +2.4 x 10- C charge and a +1.8 x 10- C charge that are separated

Brrunno [24]

Answer: 6.07 N

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's Law:

$F_{E}= K\frac{q_{1}.q_{2}}{d^{2}}$

Where:

$F_{E}$ is the electrostatic force

$K=8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}$ is the Coulomb's constant

$q_{1}=2.4(10)^{-8} C$ and $q_{2}=1.8(10)^{-6} C$ are the electric charges

$d=0.008 m$ is the separation distance between the charges

Solving:

$F_{E}= 8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}\frac{(2.4(10)^{-8} C)(1.8(10)^{-6} C)}{(0.008 m)^{2}}$

$F_{E}=6.07 N$
