A constant force of 45 N directed at angle θ to the horizontal pulls a crate of weight 100 N from one end of a room to another a

distance of 4 m. Given that the vertical component of the pulling force is 12 N, calculate the work done by the force in moving the crate.

Answer:

$W=173.48J$

Explanation:

information we know:

Total force: $F=45N$

Weight: $w=100N$

distance: $4m$

vertical component of the force: $F_{y}=12N$

-------------

In this case we need the formulas to calculate the components of the force (because to calculate the work we need the horizontal component of the force).

horizontal component: $F_{x}=Fcos\theta$

vertical component: $F_{y}=Fsen\theta$

but from the given information we know that $F_{y}=12N$

so, equation these two $F_{y}=Fsen\theta$ and $F_{y}=12N$

$Fsen\theta =12N$

and we know the force $F=45N$ , thus:

$45sen\theta=12$

now we clear for $\theta$

$sen\theta =12/45\\\theta=sin^{-1}(12/45)\\\theta =15.466$

the angle to the horizontal is 15.466°, with this information we can calculate the horizontal component of the force:

$F_{x}=Fcos\theta$

$F_{x}=45cos(15.466)\\F_{x}=43.37N$

whith this horizontal component we calculate the work to move the crate a distance of 4 m:

$W=F_{x}*D\\W=(43.37N)(4m)\\W=173.48J$

the work done is W=173.48J

A uniform sphere with mass M and radius R is rotating with angular speed ω1 about a frictionless axle along a diameter of the sp

liq [111]

Answer:

$W_2=\sqrt{\frac{3}{5} }W_1$

Explanation:

For the first ball, the moment of inertia and the kinetic energy is:

$I_1 =\frac{2}{5}MR^2$

$K_1 = \frac{1}{2}IW_1^2$

So, replacing, we get that:

$K_1 = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{5}MR^2)W_1^2$

At the same way, the moment of inertia and kinetic energy for second ball is:

$I_2 =\frac{2}{3}MR^2$

$K_2 = \frac{1}{2}IW_2^2$

So:

$K_2 = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{3}MR^2)W_2^2$

Then, $K_2$ is equal to $K_1$ , so:

$K_2 = K_1$

$\frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{3}MR^2)W_2^2 = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{5}MR^2)W_1^2$

$\frac{1}{3}MR^2W_2^2 = \frac{1}{5}MR^2W_1^2$

$\frac{1}{3}W_2^2 = \frac{1}{5}W_1^2$

Finally, solving for $W_2$ , we get:

$W_2=\sqrt{\frac{3}{5} }W_1$

A charge Q is distributed uniformly along the x axis from x1 to x2. What would be the magnitude of the electric field at x0 on t

Lena [83]

Answer:

E = k Q 1 / (x₀-x₂) (x₀-x₁)

Explanation:

The electric field is given by

dE = k dq / r²

In this case as we have a continuous load distribution we can use the concept of linear density

λ= Q / x = dq / dx

dq = λ dx

We substitute in the equation

∫ dE = k ∫ λ dx / x²

We integrate

E = k λ (-1 / x)

We evaluate between the lower limits x = x₀- x₂ and higher x = x₀-x₁

E = k λ (-1 / x₀-x₁ + 1 / x₀-x₂)

E = k λ (x₂ -x₁) / (x₀-x₂) (x₀-x₁)

We replace the density

E = k (Q / (x₂-x₁)) [(x₂-x₁) / (x₀-x₂) (x₀-x₁)]

E = k Q 1 / (x₀-x₂) (x₀-x₁)

Whipple is confused about the connection between the velocity and acceleration of the tennis ball. he decides to compare the vel

tamaranim1 [39]

The speed of the ball is always zero and the acceleration is always -g when it reaches the top of its motion. This is because when the ball is free, only gravity acts on it which is always downwards, hence g is the net acceleration and it is always negative. However the velocity does not direction change instantly, negative acceleration first slows down the ball with a positive velocity, until that point the ball keeps moving up, then the ball velocity becomes zero just before changing direction and becoming negative after which the ball will now go down along gravity. Hence the ball velocity is zero at the top (neither going up nor down). Mathematically this can be seen as velocity is the integration of acceleration.
