Question

You push a stalled car with a constant force of 215 NN as it moves a distance 8.40 mm in a straight line. The amount of work that you do in this process is 1.47×103J1.47×103J. What is the angle between the direction of your push and the direction of the car's motion?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\theta=0.999^{\circ}$ is the angle between the displacement and the force

Explanation:

Given:

Force of pushing the car, $F=215\ N$

displacement of the car, $s=8.4\ m$

amount of work done, $W=1470\ J$

We know the formula of work:

$W=F.s\cos\theta$

where:

• $\theta=$ angle between the displacement and the force

$1470=215\times 8.4\times \cos\theta$

$\theta=0.999^{\circ}$ is the angle between the displacement and the force
