- The graph shows the x component of a force that acts on an object that moves on the x axis. The vertical spacing between adjacent grid lines is 4.98N, while the horizontal spacing between adjacent grid lines is 1.0m. What is the work, in joules, done by the force as the object moves from x = 4m to x = 5m ? F (N) C C 0 x (m)arrow_forwardConsider an object of mass m = 4 kg on a frictionless table. The object experiences a repulsive force F = a/x2 + b/x, where F is in newtons and x is the position of the object relative to the origin. Write an expression for the work done by the repulsive force on the object as it moves from an initial position of x1 to a final position of x2. If the object starts at a position of x1 = 8.5 m apart, how much work, in joules, is required by an external force to bring it to a position of x2 = 2.5 m apart when a = 19 and b = 11? If the object starts at rest at a position x3 = 1.3 m and is released, at what speed v, in meters per second, will the object be moving when it is at position x4 = 12.5 m?arrow_forwardOn a horizontal surface, an object slides from point P to point Q along a straight line, then slides back from Q to P along a semicircle.

- A warehouse worker pushes a crate across a rough floor. A frictional force of 22.5 N acts to oppose the motion of the crate, and the worker pushes with a horizontal force of 40.6 N. If the total work done by the worker on the crate is 98.0 J, through what distance did the worker push the crate?arrow_forwardAn airplane flies 140 km at a constant altitude in a direction north of east.

Each tug exerts a constant force of 2.10×106 N, one at an angle 16.0° west of north, and the other at an angle 16.0° east of north, as they pull the tanker a distance 0.680 km toward the north. What is the total work done by the two tugboats on the supertanker? Express your answer in joules, to three significant figures.arrow_forward

The idea is that you exercise your muscles by stretching the spring from its natural length, which is 48 cm. If a 200 Newton force is required to keep the spring stretched to a length of 66 cm, how much work is required to stretch it from 62 cm to 76 cm? Your answer must include the correct units.
