Question:
A 0.5 kg mass moves 40 centimeters up the incline shown in the figure below. The vertical height of the incline is 7 centimeters.
What is the change in the potential energy (in Joules) of the mass as it goes up the incline?
If a force of 1.0 N pulled up and parallel to the surface of the incline is required to raise the mass back to the top of the incline, how much work is done by that force?
Given Information:
Mass = m = 0.5 kg
Horizontal distance = d = 40 cm = 0.4 m
Vertical distance = h = 7 cm = 0.07 m
Normal force = Fn = 1 N
Required Information:
Potential energy = PE = ?
Work done = W = ?
Answer:
Potential energy = 0.343 Joules
Work done = 0.39 N.m
Explanation:
The potential energy is given by
PE = mgh
where m is the mass of the object, h is the vertical distance and g is the gravitational acceleration.
PE = 0.5*9.8*0.07
PE = 0.343 Joules
As you can see in the attached image
sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse
sinθ = 0.07/0.4
θ = sin⁻¹(0.07/0.4)
θ = 10.078°
The horizontal component of the normal force is given by
Fx = Fncos(θ)
Fx = 1*cos(10.078)
Fx = 0.984 N
Work done is given by
W = Fxd
where d is the horizontal distance
W = 0.984*0.4
W = 0.39 N.m
Answer: D(t)= 50(4/5)^t
Explanation: If 1/5 of the temperature difference is lost each minute, that means 4/5 of the difference remains each minute. So each minute, the temperature difference is multiplied by a factor of 4/5 (or 0.8).
If we start with the initial temperature difference, 50° Celsius, and keep multiplying by 4/5, this function gives us the temperature difference t minutes after the cake was put in the cooler.
If the substance doesn't change chemically, it is a physical reaction.
Answer:
Net force on the block is 32 N.
Acceleration of the object is 6.4 m/s².
Explanation:
Let the acceleration of the object be 
m/s².
Given:
Mass of the block is, 
Force of pull is, 
Frictional force on the block is, 
The free body diagram of the object is shown below.
From the figure, the net force in the forward direction is given as:
Now, from Newton's second law of motion, net force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration. So,
Therefore, the acceleration of the object in the forward direction is 6.4 m/s².
Answer:
Actually it's 2.50 m/s, sorry
Explanation:
It is solved by using momentum conservation equation
combined mass of crow and feeder = 450+670=1120 gm
let the recoil speed of feeder be v m/s
Then applying momentum conservation we get;
1120×1.5 = 670×v
v= 2.50 m/s
the speed at which the feeder initially recoils backwards = 2.50 m/s
