A student removes a 10.5 kg stereo amplifier from a shelf that is 1.82 m high. The amplifier is lowered at a constant speed to a height of 0.75 m. What is the work done by (a) the person and (b) the gravitational force that acts on the amplifier

Respuesta :

Answer:

(a) the work done by the student is 110.1 J

(b) The gravitational force that acts on the amplifier is 102.9 N

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the amplifier, m = 10.5 kg

initial position of the amplifier, x₀ = 1.82 m

final position of the amplifier, x₁ =0.75 m

The dispalcement of the amplifier Δx = x₁ - x₀ = 1.82 m - 0.75 m = 1.07 m

(b) The gravitational force that acts on the amplifier;

F = mg

F = 10.5 x 9.8

F = 102.9 N

(a) the work done by the student is calculated as;

W = FΔx

W = 102.9 x 1.07

W = 110.1 J
