A constant force 23,12,32Nacts through a displacement0.12,0.31,0.24m. How much work does this force do?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

W=-8.64NmWork done by the force is.W=-8.64Nm

Step by step solution

01

Definition of the work done

Work is said to be done when an object is displaced from its actually position when an external force is applied on it.

The work done as a result of the force is given by W=F⇀‐∆r→ orW=F→∆r→cosθ where Wis the work done,F→ is the external force and ∆r→is the displacement.

02

Finding work done

Substituteand intoto find work done.

The work is negative this indicates that the force in the opposite direction of the displacement.

Therefore, the work done by the force is

A nucleus whose mass is 3.499612×10-25kgundergoes spontaneous alpha decay. The original nucleus disappears and there appear two new particles: a He-4 nucleus of mass 6.640678×10-27kg(an “alpha particle” consisting of two protons and two neutrons) and a new nucleus of mass3.433132×10-25kg (note that the new nucleus has less mass than the original nucleus, and it has two fewer protons and two fewer neutrons). (a) When the alpha particle has moved far away from the new nucleus (so the electric interactions are negligible), what is the combined kinetic energy of the alpha particle and new nucleus? (b) How many electron volts is this? In contrast to this nuclear reaction, chemical reactions typically involve only a few eV.

An object with mass 7 kgmoves from a location <22,43,-41> near the Earth's surface to location<-27,11,46>m. What is the change in the potential energy of the system consisting of the object plus the Earth?

A comet is in elliptical orbit around the Sun. Its closest approach to the Sun is a distance of 4×1010m (inside the orbit of Mercury), at which point its speed is 8.17×104m/s. Its farthest distance from the Sun is far beyond the orbit of Pluto. What is its speed when it is 6×1012m from the Sun? (This is the approximate distance of Pluto from the Sun.)

You pull a block of mass macross a frictionless table with a constant force. You also pull with an equal constant force a block of larger mass M. The blocks are initially at rest. If you pull the blocks through the same distance, which block has the greater kinetic energy, and which block has the greater momentum? If instead you pull the blocks for the same amount of time, which block has the greater kinetic energy, and which block has the greater momentum?

A pitcher can throw a baseball at about 100mi/h(about44m/s). What is the ratio of the kinetic energy to the rest energy role="math" localid="1657706011431" mc2?
