A particle P of mass 0.6 kg is projected vertically upwards with speed 5.2 m/s-1 from a point O which is 6.2 m above the ground. Air resistance acts on P so that its deceleration is 10.4 m/s-2 when P is moving upwards, and its acceleration is 9.6 m/s-2 when P is moving downwards. Find
A small block is pulled along a rough horizontal floor at a constant speed of 1.5 m s-1 by a constant force of magnitude 30 N acting at an angle of \(\theta^\circ\) upwards from the horizontal. Given that the work done by the force in 20 s is 720 J, calculate the value of \(\theta\).
A crate of mass 3 kg is pulled at constant speed along a horizontal floor. The pulling force has magnitude 25 N and acts at an angle of 15ยฐ to the horizontal, as shown in the diagram. Find
A cyclist is riding a bicycle along a straight horizontal road AB of length 50 m. The cyclist starts from rest at A and reaches a speed of 6 m s-1 at B. The cyclist produces a constant driving force of magnitude 100 N. There is a resistance force, and the work done against the resistance force from A to B is 3560 J.
Find the total mass of the cyclist and bicycle.
A winch operates by means of a force applied by a rope. The winch is used to pull a load of mass 50 kg up a line of greatest slope of a plane inclined at 60ยฐ to the horizontal. The winch pulls the load a distance of 5 m up the plane at constant speed. There is a constant resistance to motion of 100 N.
Find the work done by the winch.
