A young girl drags her favorite dolly by the hair at an angle of 55° to theground for a distance of 4 m.a) if she pulls with a force of 3N, what is the total work that she has done? B) if it takes her half a minute to travel the four meter, what is the girl’s power?

Respuesta :

Given,

A young girl drags her favorite dolly by the hair at an angle of 55° to the

ground for a distance of s= 4 m.

To find

a. The work done

b. The girls power

Explanation

a. We know work done is given by

[tex]W=Force\times displacement[/tex]

So

[tex]\begin{gathered} W=3cos55\times s \\ \Rightarrow W=3cos55\times4 \\ \Rightarrow W=6.88J \end{gathered}[/tex]

b. We know power is work done per unit time

Thus

[tex]P=\frac{6.88}{30}=0.22W[/tex]

Conclusion

a. The work done is 6.88J

b. The power is 0.22 W
