A conveyor belt ramp of length 7m is inclined at 20° with respect to the horizontal and is used to move objects from one locatio

n to another location. When an object is placed on the conveyor belt, the object travels up the incline with a constant speed of 1.5 ms . A motor is used to keep the conveyor belt moving. The mass of the objects that are placed on the conveyor belt are varied. Suppose the motor breaks and a person must push an object of mass 30kg from the bottom of the incline to the top of the incline. The person can exert a force of 150N on the object parallel to the incline. What is the approximate amount of work that the person does on the object to move it to the top of the incline? Assume that all frictional forces are negligible. 0J

Answer:

The work done by the person is 1050 J.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The work done by a force applied parallel to the displacement direction is calculated by the following equation:

W = F · Δx

Where:

W = work.

F = applied force.

Δx = displacement.

In this case, we are only interested in the work done by the person and not in the net work done on the object (in which case we should consider the work done by gravity). And since the force is applied parallel to the displacement, the work done by the person will be:

W = 150 N · 7 m

W = 1050 J

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The maximum no. of electrons- 2.25\times 10^{22}

Solution:

As per the question:

Maximum rate of transfer of charge, I = 1.0 C/s

Time, t = 1.0 h = 3600 s

Rate of transfer of charge is current, I

Also,

I = \frac{Q}{t}

Q = ne

where

n = no. of electrons

Q = charge in coulomb

I = current

Thus

Q = It

Thus the charge flow in 1. 0 h:

Q = 1.0\times 3600 = 3600\ C

Maximum number of electrons, n is given by:

n = \frac{Q}{e}

where

e = charge on an electron = 1.6\times 10^{- 19}\ C

Thus

n = \frac{3600}{1.6\times 10^{- 19}} = 2.25\times 10^{22}

faust18 [17]

Answer:

Elastic potential energy into kinetic energy

Explanation:

Initially the energy is stored inside the spring, which is compressed. This form of energy is called elastic potential energy, and its formula is

U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

where k is the spring constant, which gives the 'strength' of the spring, while x is the compression/stretching of the spring with respect to its equilibrium position.

When the spring unwinds, it returns to its equilibrium position, so x becomes zero and the potential energy converts into another form of energy, which is related to the motion of the car (in fact, the car starts moving). This form of energy is called kinetic energy, and its formula is

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where m is the mass of the car and v is its speed.

A hiker leaves her camp and walks 3.5 km in a direction of 55° south of west to the lake. After a short rest at the lake, she hi
kolbaska11 [484]

1) Magnitude

Let's take south as positive y-direction and east as positive x-direction. Then we have to resolve both displacements into their respective components:

d_{1x} = -(3.5 km) cos 55^{\circ}=-2.0 km

d_{1y} = (3.5 km) sin 55^{\circ}=2.87 km

d_{2x} = (2.7 km) sin 16^{\circ}=0.74 km

d_{2y} = (2.7 km) cos 16^{\circ}=2.60 km

So, the components of the total displacement are

d_x = d_{1x}+d_{2x}=-2.0 km +0.74 km=-1.26 km east (so, 1.26 km west)

d_y=d_{1y}+d_{2y}=2.87 km + 2.60 km=5.47 km south

So, the magnitude of the resultant displacement is

d=\sqrt{d_x^2+d_y^2}=\sqrt{(1.26)^2+(5.47)^2}=5.61 km


2) Direction

the direction of the hiker's displacement is

\theta= arctan(\frac{d_y}{d_x})=arctan(\frac{5.47}{1.26})=arctan(4.34)=77.0^{\circ} south of west.
