Ice-skater slides toward a sled sitting on the ice and hits it. The skater exerts a 12.6 N force on the sled at an angle of 15.3

° below the horizontal. The sled then moves 15.4 m forward. How much work did the skater do on the sled? Assume friction is negligible.

Answer:

Expression of work done is

W = Fd cos\theta

Work done to move the sled is given as 187.2 J

Explanation:

As we know that the formula of work done is given as

W = Fd cos\theta

here we know that

F = 12.6 N

d = 15.4 m

\theta = 15.3 degree

so we will have

W = 12.6 \times 15.4 cos15.3

W = 187.2 J

Which has more momentum, a small object moving 10 miles per hours or a large object at rest?
xeze [42]
Well the object will have no Momentum since it is not moving, so a small object that is going 10 mph will have Momentum.

A train travels due south at 25 m/s (relative to the ground) in a rain that is blown toward the south by the wind. The path of e
olasank [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Train travels towards south with a velocity if v_t=25\ m/s

Rain makes an angle of \theta =66^{o}  with vertical

If an observer sees the drop fall perfectly vertical i.e. horizontal component of rain velocity is equal to train velocity

suppose v_r is the velocity of rain with respect to ground then

v_r\sin\theta =v_t

v_r\times \sin (66)=25

v_r=27.36\ m/s

Therefore velocity of rain drops is 27.36 m/s

You observe a distant galaxy. You find that a spectral line, resulting from an electron transition in hydrogen, is shifted from
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The galaxy is moving away from the observer

Explanation: when a galaxy is moving away from us, the light we percieve from it is "streched". Since the wavelength has an inverse raltionship whith frequency, the longer the wavelength is, the lower the frequency. And lower frequencies correspond to red and infrarred light.

So when we see the light has shifted to the infrarred part of the spectrum, it means the source is traveling away from us, making the light waves we percieve streched and move from visible light to infrarred.

Can you make the work output of a machine greater than the work input?
drek231 [11]
Nearly equal the output work is greater than the input work because of friction.All machines use some amount of input work to overcome friction.The only way to increase the work output is to increase the work you put into the machine.You cannot get more work out of a machine than you put into it.
