A loaded grocery cart is rolling across a parking lot in a strong wind. You apply a constant force \vec{F} =(33 N)\hat{i} - (41 N)\hat{j} to the cart as it undergoes a displacement \vec{s} = (-9.4 m)\hat{i} - (3.1 m)\hat{j}.

Part A
How much work does the force you apply do on the grocery cart?
Express your answer using two significant figures.
W =

{\rm J}

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]W=-183.1\ J[/tex]

Explanation:

Given:

force applied, [tex]\vec{F} =(33 N)\hat{i} - (41 N)\hat{j}[/tex]

displacement caused, [tex]\vec{s} = (-9.4 m)\hat{i} - (3.1 m)\hat{j}[/tex]

Work done by the force on the cart:

[tex]W=\vec F.\vec s[/tex]

[tex]W=[(33 N)\hat{i} - (41 N)\hat{j}].[(-9.4 m)\hat{i} - (3.1 m)\hat{j}][/tex]

[tex]W=-310.2+127.1[/tex]

[tex]W=-183.1\ J[/tex]

Negative work means that the force and displacement have an obtuse angle between them.

Answer:

-180 J

Explanation:

We are given that

Constant force=[tex]F=(33 N)\hat{i}-(41 N)\hat{j}[/tex]

Displacement=[tex]\vec{s}=(-9.4m)\hat{i}-(3.1m)\hat{j}[/tex]

We have to find the work done .

We know that

Work done=[tex]F\cdot s[/tex]

Using the formula

Work done=[tex](33i-41j)\cdot (-9.4i-3.1j)[/tex]

Work done =[tex]33i\cdot (-9.4)i+41j\cdot 3.1 j[/tex]

By using rule [tex]i\cdot i=j\cdot j=k\cdot k=1,i\cdot j=j\cdot k=k\cdot i=i\cdot k=k\cdot j=j\cdot i=0[/tex]

Work done=[tex]-310.2+127.1[/tex]

Work done=-183.1 J

We have to write answer in two significant figures.

When units digit 3 is less than 5 then digits on left side of 3 remains same and digits on right side of 3 and 3 will be replace by zero

Work done=-180 J

Hence, the work done =-180 J
