Suppose a 125 N force is applied to a lawnmower handle at an angle of 35° with the ground and the lawnmower moves along the surface of the ground. If the lawnmower moves 56 m, how much work was done? (hint: use cos to find the x of force vector)
Answer:
Workdone is 5734.06Nm.
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Force applied = 125N
Angle = 35°
Distance = 56m
To find the workdone by the lawnmower, we would first of all find the horizontal component of the force applied.
[tex] Horizontal force, Fx = mgCosd[/tex]
Where;
Fx represents the horizontal force. m is the mass of an object. g is the acceleration due to gravity. d is the angle of inclination (theta).mg = weight = 125N
Substituting into the equation, we have;
[tex] Fx = 125 * Cos35[/tex]
[tex] Fx = 125 * 0.8192[/tex]
Fx = 102.39N
Workdone is given by the formula;
[tex] Workdone = force * distance[/tex]
[tex] Workdone = 102.39 * 56[/tex]
Workdone = 5734.06Nm
Therefore, the work done by the lawnmower is 5734.06Nm.

Answer:
Vf = 210 [m/s]
Av = 105 [m/s]
y = 2205 [m]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use the following formula of kinematics.
[tex]v_{f} =v_{o} +g*t[/tex]
where:
Vf = final velocity [m/s]
Vo = initial velocity = 0 (released from the rest)
g = gravity acceleration = 10 [m/s²]
t = time = 21 [s]
Vf = 0 + (10*21)
Vf = 210 [m/s]
Note: The positive sign for the gravity acceleration means that the object is falling in the same direction of the gravity acceleration (downwards)
The average speed is defined as the sum of the final speed plus the initial speed divided by two. (the initial velocity is zero)
Av = (210 + 0)/2
Av = 105 [m/s]
To calculate the distance we must use the following equation of kinematics
[tex]v_{f} ^{2} =v_{o} ^{2} +2*g*y\\\\(210)^{2} = 0 + (2*10*y)[/tex]
44100 = 20*y
y = 2205 [m]

Answer:
2917.4 m/s
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were:
Gravitational acceleration of the Moon (g) = 0.25 times the gravitational acceleration of the earth
Radius (r) of the Moon = 1737 Km
Escape velocity (v) =?
Next, we shall determine the gravitational acceleration of the Moon. This can be obtained as follow:
Gravitational acceleration of the earth = 9.8 m/s²
Gravitational acceleration of the Moon (g) = 0.25 times the gravitational acceleration of the earth
= 0.25 × 9.8 = 2.45 m/s²
Next, we shall convert 1737 Km to metres (m). This can be obtained as follow:
1 Km = 1000 m
Therefore,
1737 Km = 1737 Km × 1000 m / 1 Km
1737 Km = 1737000 m
Thus, 1737 Km is equivalent to 1737000 m
Finally, we shall determine the escape velocity of the rocket as shown below:
Gravitational acceleration of the Moon (g) = 2.45 m/s²
Radius (r) of the moon = 1737000 m
Escape velocity (v) =?
v = √2gr
v = √(2 × 2.45 × 1737000)
v = √8511300
v = 2917.4 m/s
Thus, the escape velocity is 2917.4 m/s
Jorge conducted an experiment,and included the graph shown below as part of his lab report.
Jorges experiment involved which if the following?
-A Chemical change.
-A change in the chemical properties of a substance.
-A physical change.
-the formation of a new substance.
The correct answer is A physical change
Explanation:
Jorge's experiment shows water at different temperatures; in this experiment, it is expected at low temperatures such as -20°C water is in solid-state (ice), at medium temperatures such as 40°C water is in a liquid state (liquid water), and at high temperatures such as 120°C water is in gaseous state (water vapor). This implies during this experiment the changing factor is the physical state (solid, gas, or liquid), and this is a physical change because only the physical properties of water change but not its composition or identity. According to this, the correct answer is physical change.

A student is measuring the volumes of nectar produced by a flowering plant for an experiment. He measures nectar from 50 flowers using a graduated cylinder that measures to the nearest milliliter(mL). Which statement describes a change that could help improve the results of his experiment
The question is incomplete, the complete question is;
A student is measuring the volumes of nectar produced by a flowering plant for an experiment. He measures nectar from 50 flowers using a graduated cylinder that measures to the nearest millilitre (mL). Which statement describes a change that can help improve the results of his experiment?
A.) His measurements will be more precise if he takes measurements from an additional 100 flowers. B.) His measurements will be more accurate if he uses a graduated cylinder that measures to the nearest tenth of a mL. C.) His measurements will be more precise if he uses a graduated cylinder that measures to the nearest tenth of a mL. D.) His measurements will be more accurate if he takes measurements from an additional 100 flowers.
Answer:
His measurements will be more accurate if he uses a graduated cylinder that measures to the nearest tenth of a mL.
Explanation:
In the measurements of volume using most graduated cylinders, the cylinders are calibrated to the nearest tenth owing to the uncertainty in the measurement of volume.
Hence if a cylinder has measures to the nearest milliliter(mL), then he can improve his experiment by using a graduated cylinder that measures to the nearest tenth of a mL
A slab of glass 8.0 cm thick is placed upon a printed page. If the refractive index of the glass is 1.5, how far from the surface would the letters appear to be when viewed from directly above?
Answer:
5.3 cm
Explanation:
This question is an illustration of real and apparent distance.
From the question, we have the following given parameters
Real Distance, R = 8.0cm
Refractive Index, μ = 1.5
Required
Determine the apparent distance (A)
The relationship between R, A and μ is:
μ = R/A
i.e.
Refractive Index = Real Distance ÷ Apparent Distance
Substitute values in the above formula
1.5 = 8/A
Multiply both sides by A
1.5 * A = A * 8/A
1.5A = 8
Divide both side by 1.5
1.5A/1.5 = 8/1.5
A = 8/1.5
A = 5.3cm
Hence, the letters would appear at a distance of 5.3cm

Answer:
The electrostatic force is larger by a factor of 8.988E9 / 6.674E-11 = 1.35E20
Explanation:
William gave you all the ingredients, but not the answer. Being both 1/r^2 forces (resulting from massless mediators in QFT), and with unit charges in the problem (1 coulomb, 1 Kg), separated by unit distance (1m), the only nontrivial numerical values in the problem are the constants of proportionality: Coulomb's constant (k) and Newton's gravitational constant (G). So to "compare and constrast": the ratio of the forces is simply the ratio of these constants. The electromagnatic force is 1.35 X 10^20 times stronger than the gravitational force. Assuming positive charge on both objects (the problem is ambiguous on this), they are repelled, whereas the much weaker gravitational force is attractive. (Gravity only has one kind of "charge" - it's unsigned - and the force is always attractive).
The problem doesn't say the objects are pointlike: if they have some extent and are either conductive or made of some dielectric, then things get messy because the charge distribution on the object won't be uniform then, but save that for grad school. :-)

What is the difference
between interplanting and intercropping?
Answer:
Interplanting is the practice of planting a fast-growing crop between a slower-growing one to make the most of your garden space. ... Intercropping enables you to boost the health of all plants because it can enhance soil fertility and cooperation among different plants.
Intercropping refers to large, often commercial, farming operations and is the procedure of planting alternating crop rows. Growing two or more crops in close proximity is known as intercropping.
What is interplanting?Starting to grow two or more crops in close vicinity is known as intercropping.
The most common goal of intercropping is to increase yield on a given plot of land by utilizing resources that would otherwise go unused by a single crop.
Intercropping is the cultivation of more than one crop in the same space at the same time. Intercropping is the simultaneous planting of two or more species in a mixture, or the interplanting of one species during the growth of another.
The terms are frequently and regionally used interchangeably. Intercropping is the practice of planting alternating crop rows in large, often advertising, farming operations.
Thus, this is the difference between intercropping and interplanting.

Explanation:

A space vehicle is coasting at a constant velocity of 22.4 m/s in the y direction relative to a space station. The pilot of the vehicle fires a RCS (reaction control system) thruster, which causes it to accelerate at 0.206 m/s2 in the x direction. After 40.5 s, the pilot shuts off the RCS thruster. After the RCS thruster is turned off, find (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the vehicle's velocity relative to the space station. Express the direction as an angle (in degrees) measured from the y direction.
Answer:
a. 23.9 m/s b. 69.58°
Explanation:
a. Since the space vehicle is moving at a constant velocity of 22.4 m/s in the y direction relative to the space station, its initial vertical velocity v = 22.4 m/s.
Also, since the space vehicle moves in the y direction, its initial horizontal velocity u = 0 m/s.
Since its acceleration a = 0.206 m/s² for time, t = 40.5 s, we find the final horizontal velocity u' from u' = u + at.
Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
u' = u + at
u' = 0 m/s + 0.206 m/s² × 40.5 s
= 8.343 m/s
≅ 8.34 m/s
The resultant velocity relative to the space station V = √(v² + u'²)
= √[(22.4m/s)² + (8.34 m/s)²]
= √[501.76 m²/s² + (69.56 m²/s²]
= √[571.32 m²/s²]
= 23.9 m/s
b. The direction of the vehicle's velocity relative to the space station is thus θ = tan⁻¹(v/u')
= tan⁻¹(22.4 m/s/8.34 m/s)
= tan⁻¹(2.6959)
= 69.58°
During a tennis match, a player serves the ball at 23.6 m/s, with the center of the ball leaving the racquet horizontally 2.37 m above the court surface. The net is 12 m away and 0.90 m high. When the ball reaches the net,
(a) does the ball clear it and
(b) what is the distance between the center of the ball and the top of the net? Suppose that, instead, the ball is served as before but now it leaves the racquet at 5.00° below the horizontal. When the ball reaches the net,
(c) does the ball clear it and
(d) what now is the distance between the center of the ball and the top of the net?
Answer:
a
Yes it clears
b
[tex]b= 0.19 \ m[/tex]
c
No it does not clear
d
[tex]z= 0.86 \ m[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The speed at which the player serves the ball is [tex]v = 23.6 \ m/s[/tex]
The height of the ball above the ground is [tex]h = 2.3 7 \ m[/tex]
The distance of the net is [tex]d = 12 \ m[/tex]
The height of the net is [tex]H = 0.9 \ m[/tex]
Generally the time taken for the ball to reach the net is mathematically represented as
[tex]t = \frac{d}{v}[/tex]
=> [tex]t = \frac{12}{23.6}[/tex]
=> [tex]t = 0.508 \ s[/tex]
Generally the change in height of the ball after t is mathematically represented as
[tex]\Delta h = ut + \frac{1}{2} gt^2[/tex]
Here u is the initial velocity which is zero given that the ball was at rest initially
So
[tex]\Delta h = 0* t + \frac{1}{2} * 9.8 * 0.50 8^2[/tex]
=> [tex]\Delta h =1.28 \ m[/tex]
Generally the new height of the ball is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]s= h-\Delta h[/tex]
=> [tex]s = 2.37 - 1.28[/tex]
=> [tex]s = 1.09 \ m[/tex]
From the value obtained we see that [tex]s > H[/tex] hence the ball clears the net
Generally the distance between the center of the ball and the top of the net is mathematically represented as
[tex]b = s - H[/tex]
=> [tex]b = 1.09 - 0.90[/tex]
=> [tex]b= 0.19 \ m[/tex]
Given that the ball makes an angle of [tex]5^o[/tex] with the horizontal , the velocity along the x-axis is
[tex]v_x = v cos(5)[/tex]
=> [tex]v_x = 23.6 cos(5)[/tex]
=> [tex]v_x = 23.5 \ m/s[/tex]
The velocity along the y-axis is
[tex]v_y = v sin(5)[/tex]
=> [tex]v_y = 23.6 sin(5)[/tex]
=> [tex]v_y = 2.06 \ m/s[/tex]
Generally the time taken for the ball to reach the net is
[tex]t = \frac{d}{v_x}[/tex]
=> [tex]t = \frac{12}{23.5}[/tex]
=> [tex]t =0.508 \ s[/tex]
Generally the change in height of the ball after t seconds is
[tex]c = v_yt + \frac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]
=> [tex]c = 2.06 * 0.508 + \frac{1}{2}* 9.8 * 0.508 ^2[/tex]
=> [tex]c = 2.33[/tex]
Generally the new height of the ball after time t seconds is
[tex]e = h - c[/tex]
=> [tex]e = 2.37 - 2.33[/tex]
=> [tex]e = 0.04 \ m[/tex]
From the value obtained we see that [tex]e < H[/tex] hence the ball does not clear the net
Generally the distance between the center of the ball and the top of the net is mathematically represented as
[tex]z = H-e[/tex]
=> [tex]z = 0.90 - 0.04[/tex]
=> [tex]z= 0.86 \ m[/tex]
(a) Yes, the ball clears the net.
(b) The distance between the center of the ball and the top of the net is 0.203 m.
(c) No, the ball does not clear the net.
(d) Now, the distance between the center of the ball and the top of the net is -0.85 m.
What is a Projectile motion?When any object or body is launched with some initial velocity and making some angle with the horizontal, the body travels in a parabolic path. It is known as the projectile motion.
Given,
The horizontal distance traveled by the ball is 12 m.
The height of the top of the net is 0.90 m.
The height of the horizontal launch of the ball is 2.37 m.
The time for the horizontal motion of the projectile that is the ball is,
[tex]\begin{aligned} {{v}_{0x}}&={{S}_{x}}t \\ t&=\dfrac{{{S}_{x}}}{{{v}_{0x}}} \\ &=\dfrac{{{S}_{x}}}{{{v}_{0}}\cos 0{}^\circ } \\ &=\dfrac{{{S}_{x}}}{{{v}_{0}}} \end{aligned}[/tex]
The equation for the vertical motion of the projectile can be solved by substituting the above result.
[tex]\begin{aligned} y&={{y}_{0}}+{{v}_{0y}}t-\frac{1}{2}g{{t}^{2}} \\ y&={{y}_{0}}+\left( {{v}_{0}}\sin 0{}^\circ \right)\left( \frac{{{S}_{x}}}{{{v}_{0x}}} \right)-\frac{1}{2}g{{\left( \frac{{{S}_{x}}}{{{v}_{0x}}} \right)}^{2}} \\ \left( 0.90\text{ m}+h \right)&=\left( 2.37\text{ m} \right)+0-\frac{1}{2}\left( 9.8\text{ m/}{{\text{s}}^{2}} \right){{\left( \frac{12\text{ m}}{23.6\text{ m/s}} \right)}^{2}} \\ h&=2.37\text{ m}-\text{1}\text{.267 m}-0.90\text{ m} \\ &=0.203\text{ m} \end{aligned}[/tex]
Now, consider the case when the ball is thrown with an angle [tex]\bold{5^{\circ}}[/tex] with the horizontal.
The horizontal component of the initial velocity is [tex]\bold{v_0 \cos 5{}^\circ.}[/tex]
The vertical component of the initial velocity is [tex]\bold{v_0 \sin 5{}^\circ.}[/tex]
For the horizontal distance traveled by the ball in this case, the time taken can be calculated as below,
[tex]\begin{aligned} {t}'&=\frac{{{{{S}'}}_{x}}}{{{{{v}'}}_{0x}}} \\ &=\frac{12\text{ m}}{\left( 23.6\text{ m/s} \right)\cos 5{}^\circ } \\ &=0.51\text{ s} \end{aligned}[/tex]
Now, the vertical distance above the ground, y’, traveled by the projectile till reaching the net can be determined as,
[tex]\begin{aligned} {y}'&={{{{y}'}}_{0}}+{{{{v}'}}_{0y}}{t}'-\frac{1}{2}g{{{{t}'}}^{2}} \\ &=0\text{ m}-\left( \left( 23.6\text{ m/s} \right)\sin 5{}^\circ \right)\left( 0.51\text{ s} \right)-\frac{1}{2}\left( 9.8\text{ m/}{{\text{s}}^{2}} \right){{\left( 0.51\text{ s} \right)}^{2}} \\ &=-1.05\text{ m}-1.28\text{ m} \\ &=-2.32\text{ m} \end{aligned}[/tex]
The height above the top of the net can be determined by adding the above result with (2.37 m - 0.90 m) which is the height of the net’s top relative to the launch position.
[tex]\begin{aligned} {h}'&=\left( 2.37\text{ m}-0.90\text{ m} \right)+{y}' \\ &=\left( 2.37\text{ m}-0.90\text{ m} \right)-2.32\text{ m} \\ &=-0.85\text{ m} \end{aligned}[/tex]
Thus, the distance between the center of the ball and the top of the net is -2,32 m.
When the ball leaves the racquet at 5.00° below the horizontal, the distance between the center of the ball and the top of the net is -0.85 m.

How far did the grapefruit drop?
What was its speed when it hit the ground?
Answer:
The grapefruit dropped 2.54 m and hit the ground at 7.06 m/s
Explanation:
Free Fall Motion
A free-falling object falls under the sole influence of gravity. Any object that is being acted upon only by the force of gravity is said to be in a state of free fall. Free-falling objects do not encounter air resistance.
If an object is dropped from rest in a free-falling motion, it falls with a constant acceleration called the acceleration of gravity, which value is [tex]g = 9.8 m/s^2.[/tex]
The final velocity of a free-falling object after a time t is given by:
vf=g.t
The distance traveled by a dropped object is:
[tex]\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}[/tex]
Given a grapefruit free falls from a tree and hits the ground t=0.72 s later, we can calculate the height it fell from:

A crossbow is fired horizontally off a cliff with an initial velocity of 15 m/s. If the arrow takes 4s to hit the ground, what is the range of the projectile?
Answer:
The range of the projectile is 60 meters
Explanation:
To determine the range/distance of the projectile, the formula for velocity is used;
velocity = distance/time
where velocity is 15 m/s
time is 4 seconds
distance is unknown
From the formula above, distance is made the subject and thus
distance = velocity × time
distance = 15 × 4
