A large crate sits on the floor of a warehouse. Paul and Bob apply constant horizontal forces to the crate. The force applied by

Paul has magnitude 48.0 N and direction 61.0∘ south of west. How much work does Paul’s force do during a displacement of the crate that is 12.0 m in the direction 22.0∘ east of north?

Answer:

-570.4 J

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Force = 48N, 61° SW

Displacement = 12m, 22.0 NE

Work done is given by:

W = F*d*cosθ

To find θ:

θ = 61 + 90 + 22 = 172°

=> W = 48 * 12 * cos172

W = - 570.4 J

Hence, the work to be done is - 570.4J.

This value is negative because the applied force is opposite the direction of the displacement.

. A student claims that if lighting strikes a metal flagpole, the force exerted by the Earth’s magnetic field on the current in
Ratling [72]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that, current generated from lightning range from

10⁴ A < I < 10^5 A

We know that,

The magnetic force is given as

F = iLB

The magnetic field on the earth surface is

B = 10^-5 T

So, let assume the worst case of a 15m flag pole

L = 15m

Then,

F = iLB

F = 10^5 × 10 × 10^-5

F = 15 N

Therefore, 15N is fairly strong so it will come to the material that was use for the material of the flag pole.

Therefore, it is possible that the student is right depending on the material of the flag pole.

A net force of 60 N north acts on an object with a mass of 30 kg. Use Newton's second law of
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

F = ma. For us, this looks like

60 = 30a and

a = 2 m/s/s

If the force goes up to, say, 90, then

90 = 30a and

a = 3...if the force goes up, the acceleration also goes up.

If the mass goes up to say, 60, and the force stays the same, then

60 = 60a and

a = 1...if the mass goes up, the acceleration goes down.

A 60kg bicyclist (including the bicycle) is pedaling to the
Fittoniya [83]

a) 4 forces

b) 186 N

c) 246 N

Explanation:

a)

Let's count the forces acting on the bicylist:

1) Weight (W=mg): this is the gravitational force exerted on the bicyclist by the Earth, which pulls the bicyclist towards the Earth's centre; so, this force acts downward (m = mass of the bicyclist, g = acceleration due to gravity)

2) Normal reaction (N): this is the reaction force exerted by the road on the bicyclist. This force acts vertically upward, and it balances the weight, so its magnitude is equal to the weight of the bicyclist, and its direction is opposite

3) Applied force (F_A): this is the force exerted by the bicylicist to push the bike forward. Its direction is forward

4) Air drag (R): this is the force exerted by the air on the bicyclist and resisting the motion of the bike; its direction is opposite to the motion of the bike, so it is in the backward direction

So, we have 4 forces in total.

b)

Here we can find the net force on the bicyclist by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on a body is equal to the product between the mass of the body and its acceleration:

F_{net}=ma

where

F_{net} is the net force

m is the mass of the body

a is its acceleration

In this problem we have:

m = 60 kg is the mass of the bicyclist

a=3.1 m/s^2 is its acceleration

Substituting, we find the net force on the bicyclist:

F_{net}=(60)(3.1)=186 N

c)

We can write the net force acting on the bicyclist in the horizontal direction as the resultant of the two forces acting along this direction, so:

F_{net}=F_a-R

where:

F_{net} is the net force

F_a is the applied force (forward)

R is the air drag (backward)

In this problem we have:

F_{net}=186 N is the net force (found in part b)

R=60 N is the magnitude of the air drag

Solving for F_a, we find the force produced by the bicyclist while pedaling:

F_a=F_{net}+R=186+60=246 N
