Consider three scenarios in which a particular box moves downward under the pull of gravity :

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

1. True WA > WB > WC

Explanation:

In this exercise they give work for several different configurations and ask that we show the relationship between them, the best way to do this is to calculate each work separately.

A) Work is the product of force by distance and the cosine of the angle between them

WA = W h cos 0

WA = mg h

B) On a ramp without rubbing

Sin30 = h / L

L = h / sin 30

WB = F d cos θ

WB = F L cos 30

WB = mf (h / sin30) cos 30

WB = mg h ctan 30

C) Ramp with rubbing

W sin 30 - fr = ma

N- Wcos30 = 0

W sin 30 - μ W cos 30 = ma

F = W (sin30 - μ cos30)

WC = mg (sin30 - μ cos30) h / sin30

Wc = mg (1 - μ ctan30) h

When we review the affirmation it is the work where there is rubbing is the smallest and the work where it comes in free fall at the maximum

Let's review the claims

1. True The work of gravity is the greatest and the work where there is friction is the least

2 False. The job where there is friction is the least

3 False work with rubbing is the least

4 False work with rubbing is the least

Six baseball throws are shown below. In each case the baseball is thrown at the same initial speed and from the same height h ab

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

EXplained

Explanation:

from conservation of energy

change in potential energy = gain in kinetic energy

so as all he balls are throws from the same height thus the change in potential energy is the same for all the balls thus the gain in kinetic energy is the same for all the balls and as they have the same initial velocity thus the final velocity is the same for all the balls.

A 26 foot ladder is lowered down a vertical wall at a rate of 3 feet per minute. The base of the ladder is sliding away from the

lakkis [162]

Answer:

(i) 7.2 feet per minute.

(ii) No, the rate would be different.

(iii) The rate would be always positive.

(iv) the resultant change would be constant.

(v) 0 feet per min

Explanation:

Let the length of ladder is l, x be the height of the top of the ladder from the ground and y be the length of the bottom of the ladder from the wall,

By making the diagram of this situation,

Applying Pythagoras theorem,

$l^2 = x^2 + y^2-----(1)$
