<span>1.26 kJ First, calculate the normal force. That's merely the mass of the desk multiplied by the gravitational acceleration. 80 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 784 kg*m/s^2 = 784 N Now calculate the force needed to slide the desk by multiplying by the coefficient of kinetic friction. So 784 N * 0.4 = 313.6 N Work is defined as force times distance, so 313.6 N * 4 m = 1254.4 Nm = 1254.4 J = 1.2544 kJ Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 1.25 kJ Of the available choices, 1.26 kJ is the closest. Looks like a mild difference in rounding. Perhaps because I rounded after all calculations were done and they may have rounded intermediate results.</span>

A 25N force is applied to a bar that can pivot around its end. The force is r=0.75 m away from the end of an angle at 0= 30. wha
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

<h2>9.375Nm</h2>

Explanation:

The formula for calculating torque τ = Frsin∅ where;

F = applied force (in newton)

r = radius (in metres)

∅ = angle that the force made with the bar.

Given  F= 25N, r = 0.75m and ∅ = 30°

torque on the bar τ  = 25*0.75*sin30°

τ = 25*0.75*0.5

τ = 9.375Nm

The torque on the bar is 9.375Nm

An object is moving in the plane according to these parametric equations:
aniked [119]
A. The horizontal velocity is 
vx = dx/dt = π - 4πsin (4πt + π/2)
vx = π - 4π sin (0 + π/2)
vx = π - 4π (1)
vx = -3π

b. vy = 4π cos (4πt + π/2)
vy = 0

c. m = sin(4πt + π/2) / [<span>πt + cos(4πt + π/2)]

d. m = </span>sin(4π/6 + π/2) / [π/6 + cos(4π/6 + π/2)]

e. t = -1.0

f. t = -0.35

g. Solve for t 
vx = π - 4πsin (4πt + π/2) = 0
Then substitute back to solve for vxmax

h. Solve for t
vy = 4π cos (4πt + π/2) = 0
The substitute back to solve for vymax

i. s(t) = [<span>x(t)^2 + y</span>(t)^2]^(1/2)

h. s'(t) = d [x(t)^2 + y(t)^2]^(1/2) / dt

k and l. Solve for the values of t
d [x(t)^2 + y(t)^2]^(1/2) / dt = 0
And substitute to determine the maximum and minimum speeds.

A 1.47-newton baseball is dropped from a height of 10.0 meters and falls through the air to the ground. The kinetic energy of th
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The maximum amount of mechanical energy converted to internal energy during the fall is 26.7 joules

Explanation:

Potential Energy (PE) = weight of baseball × height = 1.47N × 10m = 14.7Nm = 14.7 joules

Kinetic Energy (KE) = 12 joules

Maximum amount of mechanical energy converted to internal energy during the fall = PE + KE = 14.7 joules + 12 joules = 26.7 joules
