How much work is done when a 900 N man spends 5 minutes pushing an immovable wall?​

Physics
1 answer:
mariarad [96]2 years ago

Answer: e ven though the man exerts force on the wall , the wall does not move. Work done = force applied * displacement and since the displacement of the wall is zero. , work done is also zero

An ant sits on the back of a mouse. The mouse carries the ant across the floor for a distance of 150m to her bedroom. How much w
marin [14]

Answer:

Since the weight of the ant is not given, we cannot determined the work done.

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance covered  = 150m

Unknown:

Work done by mouse  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to understand that work done is the force applied to move a body through a certain distance.

In this case, work done;

    Work done  = force x distance

     Work done  = Weight x distance

Since the weight of the ant is not given, we cannot determined the work done.

A rifle bullet with a mass of 11.5 g traveling toward the right at 251 m/s strikes a large bag of sand and penetrates it to a de
BabaBlast [244]

To look for the acceleration, it will come from:

vf^2=v0^2+2ad 
where:
vf = final velocity = 0 
v0 = initial velocity =251 m/s 
a = acceleration 
d= distance traveled = 0.237 m 

0=251^2+2a(0.237 ) 
a= -251 ^2 / (2*0.237) =-132 913.502 m/s/s 

we find the force from: 

F = ma = 0.0115kg*(-1.32x10^5m/s/s) = -1518 N 

the negative sign shows that the force is in the direction contradictory the bullet's motion

A friction force of 280 N exists between a cart and the path. If the force of reaction is 766 N, what is the minimum action forc
MatroZZZ [7]

force of friction on the cart is given as

F_f = 280 N

here we also know the reaction force due to surface

R = 766 N

so we can say reaction force is given as

R = \sqrt{F_n^2 + F_f^2}

766 = \sqrt{F_n^2 + 280^2}

F_n^2 = 766^2 - 280^2

F_n = 713 N

now by force balance we will say

F_y + F_n = mg

F_y = mg - F_n

F_x = F_f

also we know that

F_f = \mu * F_n

280 = \mu * 713

\mu = 0.39

now minimum force required to set this into motion

F_{min} = \frac{\mu mg}{\sqrt{1 + \mu^2}}

here we know that

mg = F_n = 713 N

F_{min} = \frac{0.39* 713}{\sqrt{1 + 0.39^2}}

F_{min} = 259 N

So it will require 259 N minimum force to move it
