Answer:

Work done, W = 0 J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of the bucket, W = F = 35 N

It is lifted vertically 3 m and then returned to its original position. We need to find the work gravity do on the bucket during this process.

Work done when the bucket is lifted vertically, W₁ = -mgh

Work done when the bucket returned to its original position, W₂ = +mgh

Net work done, W = W₁ + W₂

W = 0 J

So, the work done on the bucket is zero. Hence, this is the required solution.

You catch a volleyball (mass 0.270 kg) that is moving downward at 7.50 m/s. In stopping the ball, your hands and the volleyball
sesenic [268]

Explanation:

The work done equals the change in energy.

W = ΔKE

W = 0 − ½mv²

W = -½ (0.270 kg) (-7.50 m/s)²

W = -7.59 J

Work is force times displacement.

W = Fd

-7.59 J = F (-0.150 m)

F = 50.6 N

In the produce section of a supermarket, five pears are placed on a spring scale. The placement of the pears stretches the sprin
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

The displacement of the spring due to weight is 0.043 m

Explanation:

Given :

Mass m = 2 Kg

Spring constant k = 450 \frac{N}{m}

According to the hooke's law,

  F = -kx

Where F = force, x = displacement

Here,

F = mg         ( g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} } )

F = 2 \times 9.8 = 19.6 N

Now for finding displacement,

  x = \frac{F}{k}

Here minus sign only represent the direction so we take magnitude of it.

  x = \frac{19.6}{450}

  x = 0.043 m

Therefore, the displacement of the spring due to weight is 0.043 m

a 1.2x10^3 kilogram car is accelerated uniformly from 10. meters per second to 20 meters per second in 5.0 seconds. what is the
irinina [24]
Force , F = ma

F =  m(v - u)/t               

Where m = mass in kg, v= final velocity in m/s, u = initial velocity in m/s
t = time, Force is in Newton.

m= 1.2*10³ kg,  u = 10 m/s,  v = 20 m/s, t = 5s

F =  1.2*10³(20 - 10)/5

F = 2.4*10³ N = 2400 N

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

The time constant and its uncertainty is t ± Δt = 0.526 ± 0.057 s

Explanation:

If we make a comparison we have to:

y = A*(1-e^-(C*x)) + B

If the time remains constant we have to:

t = R*C = 1/C

In this way we calculate the time constant and its uncertainty. this will be equal to:

t ± Δt = (1/1.901) ± (0.2051/1.901)*(1/1.901) = 0.526 ± 0.057 s

A negative oil droplet is held motionless in a millikan oil drop experiment. What happens if the switch is opened?
scoray [572]

In Millikan oil drop experiment, when the switch is opened and by altering supply the charge of electron is determined.

Explanation:

Millikan's oil drop experiment is held to determine the terminal velocity and charge of the oil drop.

Firstly without any supply of voltage when an oil drop is sprinkled and these droplets gather electrons together and gives negative charge as they pass through air.

By applying and altering voltage applied on the plates, drop can be suspended in air. Millikan observed one drop after another, varying the voltage and noting the effect. After many repetitions he concluded that charge could assume only certain fixed values.

After conducting many times he concluded 1.602176487 ×10−19 C as the charge of an electron.
