The student who did the most work is student 2 with 2500 Joules.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Force 1 = 500 Newton
  • Distance 1 = 1.2 meter
  • Force 2 = 500 Newton
  • Distance 2 = 5 meter

To determine which of the students did the most work:

Mathematically, the work done by an object is given by the formula;

Work\;done = Force \times distance

<u>For </u><u>student 1</u><u>:</u>

Work\;done = 500 \times 1.2

Work done = 600 Joules

<u>For </u><u>student 2</u><u>:</u>

Work\;done = 500 \times 5

Work done = 2500 Joules.

Therefore, the student who did the most work is student 2 with 2500 Joules.

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

A physical quantity which can be completely described by the magnitude and direction both are called vector quantities. For example, displacement, velocity, etc.

A physical quantity which can be completely explained by the magnitude only is called scalar quantity. For example, mass, time, etc.

A 0.683 kg mass moves in SHM at the end of a spring. It takes 1.41 s to move from the position with the spring fully extended to
dsp73

Answer:

Spring constant of the spring will be equal to 9.255 N /m          

Explanation:

We have given mass m = 0.683 kg

Time taken to complete one oscillation is given T = 1.41 sec

We have to find the spring constant of the spring

From spring mass system time period is equal to T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{K}}, here m is mass and K is spring constant

So 1.41=2\times 3.14\sqrt{\frac{0.683}{K}}

0.2245=\sqrt{\frac{0.683}{K}}

Squaring both side

0.0504=\frac{0.4664}{K}

K=9.255N/m

So spring constant of the spring will be equal to 9.255 N /m

A 500 kg sack of coal falls vertically onto a 2000 kg railroad flatcar which was initially moving horizontally at 3 m/s. no exte
Zinaida [17]

Since there are no external forces, including friction, act on the flatcar. after the sack rests on the flatcar, we would assume that momentum is conserved. This means that

total momentum of car before collision = total momentum of car after collision.

Recall,

momentum = mass x velocity

From the information given,

mass of car before collision = 2000

velocity of car before collision = 3

Thus,

total momentum of car before collision = 2000 x 3 = 6000

Also,

mass of sack = 500

mass of car and sack after collision = 500 + 2000 = 2500

velocity after collision = v

momentum after collision = 2500 x v = 2500v

Since momentum is conserved, then

6000 = 2500v

v = 6000/2500

v = 2.4

the speed of the flatcar is 2.4 m/s
