Answer:

E) The net work done by the two forces is zero joules.

Explanation:

As the elevator is moving at a constant speed, it is the same as being stationary. The tension in the cable perfectly balances the gravitational force. Work done by gravity = mgh

Work done by the tension = -Th

where, T = tension force. The negative sign comes as the direction of T is opposite to the direction of g. As the elevator moves at a constant speed, the magnitude of the two forces must be equal. Therefore, the total work done,

W = (mg - T)h = 0

sergejj [24]

Answer:

kinetic friction or something else

Explanation:

Draw a diagram to illustrate the problem, as shown below.

m = mass of the box, kg

mg =  weight of the box, N, acting downward

Because of Newton's 3rd law, a normal force of N = mg acts upward on the box.

C = 200 N, the force applied by Clara, horizontally to the right

E = 500 N, the force applied by Eduardo, horizontally to the left.

Because E is greater than C, the box will move left.

The frictional force, F, will resist the initial motion. Its magnitude is

F = μN = μmg, where μ = kinetic coefficient of friction.

F acts horizontally to the right.

From the given table, we can conclude that

Normal force acting upward is correct

Tension by Eduardoacting left is correct.

Tension by Clara acting right is correct.

Kinetic friction acting left is Incorrect.

Gravity acting downward is correct.correct

Answer:

The direction of the kinetic friction force is incorrect

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

both cannonballs hit the ships with the same horizontal speed

Explanation:

Hello!

A parabolic motion is characterized in that its vertical component in Y is constantly changing, this is due to the constant downward acceleration of gravity.

When the movement starts the speed at Y is maximum, then when it reaches its maximum height point its speed is zero, and finally it begins to increase downwards until it touches the floor.

On the other hand, the horizontal speed remains constant AS THERE IS NO ACCELERATION IN HORIZONTAL DIRECTION.

therefore both cannonballs hit the ships with the same horizontal speed

regards!

A 2.0-kg block sliding on a rough horizontal surface is attached to one end of a horizontal spring (k = 250 N/m) which has its o
Burka [1]

Suppose the spring begins in a compressed state, so that the block speeds up from rest to 2.6 m/s as it passes through the equilibrium point, and so that when it first comes to a stop, the spring is stretched 0.20 m.

There are two forces performing work on the block: the restoring force of the spring and kinetic friction.

By the work-energy theorem, the total work done on the block between the equilbrium point and the 0.20 m mark is equal to the block's change in kinetic energy:

W_{\rm total}=\Delta K

or

W_{\rm friction}+W_{\rm spring}=0-K=-K

where <em>K</em> is the block's kinetic energy at the equilibrium point,

K=\dfrac12\left(2.0\,\mathrm{kg}\right)\left(2.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2=6.76\,\mathrm J

Both the work done by the spring and by friction are negative because these forces point in the direction opposite the block's displacement. The work done by the spring on the block as it reaches the 0.20 m mark is

W_{\rm spring}=-\dfrac12\left(250\dfrac{\rm N}{\rm m}\right)(0.20\,\mathrm m)^2=-5.00\,\mathrm J

Compute the work performed by friction:

W_{\rm friction}-5.00\,\mathrm J=-6.76\,\mathrm J \implies W_{\rm friction}=-1.76\,\mathrm J

By Newton's second law, the net vertical force on the block is

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>n</em> - <em>mg</em> = 0   ==>   <em>n</em> = <em>mg</em>

where <em>n</em> is the magnitude of the normal force from the surface pushing up on the block. Then if <em>f</em> is the magnitude of kinetic friction, we have <em>f</em> = <em>µmg</em>, where <em>µ</em> is the coefficient of kinetic friction.

So we have

W_{\rm friction}=-f(0.20\,\mathrm m)

\implies -1.76\,\mathrm J=-\mu\left(2.0\,\mathrm{kg}\right)\left(9.8\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(0.20\,\mathrm m)

\implies \boxed{\mu\approx0.45}

A 44-cm-diameter water tank is filled with 35 cm of water. A 3.0-mm-diameter spigot at the very bottom of the tank is opened and
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

The frequency f = 521.59 Hz

The rate at which the frequency is changing = 186.9 Hz/s

Explanation:

Given that :

Diameter of the tank = 44 cm

Radius of the tank = \frac{d}{2} =\frac{44}{2} = 22 cm

Diameter of the spigot = 3.0 mm

Radius of the spigot = \frac{d}{2} =\frac{3.0}{2} = 1.5 mm

Diameter of the cylinder = 2.0 cm

Radius of the cylinder = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{2.0}{2} = 1.0 cm

Height of the cylinder = 40 cm = 0.40 m

The height of the water in the tank from the spigot = 35 cm = 0.35 m

Velocity at the top of the tank = 0 m/s

From the question given, we need to consider that  the question talks about movement of fluid through an open-closed pipe; as such it obeys Bernoulli's Equation and the constant discharge condition.

The expression for Bernoulli's Equation is as follows:

P_1+\frac{1}{2}pv_1^2+pgy_1=P_2+\frac{1}{2}pv^2_2+pgy_2

pgy_1=\frac{1}{2}pv^2_2 +pgy_2

v_2=\sqrt{2g(y_1-y_2)}

where;

P₁ and P₂ = initial and final pressure.

v₁ and v₂ = initial and final fluid velocity

y₁ and y₂ = initial and final height

p = density

g = acceleration due to gravity

So, from our given parameters; let's replace

v₁ = 0 m/s ; y₁ = 0.35 m ; y₂ = 0 m ; g = 9.8 m/s²

∴ we have:

v₂ = \sqrt{2*9.8*(0.35-0)}

v₂ = \sqrt {6.86}

v₂ = 2.61916

v₂ ≅ 2.62 m/s

Similarly, using the expression of the continuity for water flowing through the spigot into the cylinder; we have:

v₂A₂ = v₃A₃

v₂r₂² = v₃r₃²

where;

v₂r₂ = velocity of the fluid and radius at the spigot

v₃r₃ = velocity of the fluid and radius at the cylinder

v_3 = \frac{v_2r_2^2}{v_3^2}

where;

v₂ = 2.62 m/s

r₂ = 1.5 mm

r₃ = 1.0 cm

we have;

v₃ = (2.62  m/s)* (\frac{1.5mm^2}{1.0mm^2} )

v₃ = 0.0589 m/s

∴ velocity  of the fluid in the cylinder =  0.0589 m/s

So, in an open-closed system we are dealing with; the frequency can be calculated by using the expression;

f=\frac{v_s}{4(h-v_3t)}

where;

v_s = velocity of sound

h = height of the fluid

v₃ = velocity  of the fluid in the cylinder

f=\frac{343}{4(0.40-(0.0589)(0.4)}

f= \frac{343}{0.6576}

f = 521.59 Hz

∴ The frequency f = 521.59 Hz

b)

What are the rate at which the frequency is changing (Hz/s) when the cylinder has been filling for 4.0 s?

The rate at which the frequency is changing is related to the function of time (t) and as such:

\frac{df}{dt}= \frac{d}{dt}(\frac{v_s}{4}(h-v_3t)^{-1})

\frac{df}{dt}= -\frac{v_s}{4}(h-v_3t)^2(-v_3)

\frac{df}{dt}= \frac{v_sv_3}{4(h-v_3t)^2}

where;

v_s (velocity of sound) = 343 m/s

v₃ (velocity  of the fluid in the cylinder) = 0.0589 m/s

h (height of the cylinder) = 0.40 m

t (time) = 4.0 s

Substituting our values; we have ;

\frac{df}{dt}= \frac{343*0.0589}{4(0.4-(0.0589*4.0))^2}

= 186.873

≅ 186.9 Hz/s

∴ The rate at which the frequency is changing = 186.9 Hz/s  when the cylinder has been filling for 4.0 s.
