Answer:

2100 J

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Force acting on the object, F = 420 N

Distance moved by object, d = 5m

The change in kinetic energy of an object is equal to the work done by a force acting on the object:

W = F * d

∆KE = F * d

∆KE = 420 * 5

∆KE = 2100 J

Answer:

∆KE = 2100 J

Explanation:

Given:

Force of person pushes against the wagon=  F = 420 N

Distance = d = 5.0 m

When you accelerate an object, you are doing work against inertia. It is proven that work equals the change in kinetic energy of the object.

therefore, W = ΔKE

where,

W is the work done against the resistance of inertia

ΔKE is the change in kinetic energy (Δ is Greek letter capital delta)

Also, W = F x d

∴∆KE = F x d

∆KE = 420 x 5

∆KE = 2100 J

The change in kinetic energy for the wagon is 2100 J

adell [148]

Answer:

F_{x}=2.31N to the right.

F_{y}=2.1N to in the upwards direction.

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must first start by drawing a diagram of the situation. (See attached diagram).

So, remember that a force is determined by multiplying the mass of the parcticle by its acceleration:

F=ma

so in order to find the components of the force, we need to start by finding its acceleration.

Acceleration is found by using the following formula:

a=\frac{V_{f}-V{0}}{t}

so we can subtract the two vectors, like this:

a=\frac{(6.00i+4.0j)m/s-1.60i m/s}{8s}

which yields:

a=\frac{(4.4i+4.0j)m/s}{8s}

or:

a=(0.55i + 0.5j) m/s^{2}

so now I can find the components of the force:

F=(4.2kg)(0.55i + 0.5j) m/s^{2}

which yields:

F=(2.31i+2.1j)N

so the components of the force are:

F_{x}=2.31N to the right.

F_{y}=2.1N to in the upwards direction.

A charge Q is uniformly spread over one surface of a very large nonconducting square elastic sheet having sides of length d. At
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

E/4

Explanation:

The formula for electric field of a very large (essentially infinitely large) plane of charge is given by:

E = σ/(2ε₀)

Where;

E is the electric field

σ is the surface charge density

ε₀ is the electric constant.

Formula to calculate σ is;

σ = Q/A

Where;

Q is the total charge of the sheet

A is the sheet's area.

We are told the elastic sheet is a square with a side length as d, thus ;

A = d²

So;

σ = Q/d²

Putting Q/d² for σ in the electric field equation to obtain;

E = Q/(2ε₀d²)

Now, we can see that E is inversely proportional to the square of d i.e.

E ∝ 1/d²

The electric field at P has some magnitude E. We now double the side length of the sheet to 2L while keeping the same amount of charge Q distributed over the sheet.

From the relationship of E with d, the magnitude of electric field at P will now have a quarter of its original magnitude which is;

E_new = E/4

A football player kicks a football downfield. The height of the football increases until it reaches a maximum height of 15 yards
Trava [24]

Answer:

kick 1 has travelled 15 + 15 = 30 yards before hitting the ground

so kick 2 travels 25 + 25 = 50 yards before hitting the ground

first kick reached 8 yards and 2nd kick reached 20 yards  

Explanation:

1st kick travelled 15 yards to reach maximum height of 8 yards

so, it has travelled 15 + 15 = 30 yards before hitting the ground

2nd kick is given by the equation

y (x) = -0.032x(x - 50)

Y = 1.6 X - 0.032x^2

we know that maximum height occurs is given as

x = -\frac{b}{2a}

y =- \frac{1.6}{2(-0.032)} = 25

and maximum height is

y = 1.6\times 25 - 0.032\times 25^2

y = 20

so kick 2 travels 25 + 25 = 50 yards before hitting the ground

first kick reached 8 yards and 2nd kick reached 20 yards
