Answer:
a) Find the work done by the resistive force during the roundtrip.
W=-30kJ
b) Is the resistive force a conservative force? explain.
The resistive force is not a conservative force since the work done during the round trip is not zero
Explanation:
The worf done on object y a constant force F is given by:
W= (F cos ∅)S
Where S is the displacement and ∅ is the angle between the force and the displacement.
The displacement of the bicycle during each part of the trip is s=5000m and teh magnitude of teh resistance force is F=3.0N
∅1=180° he angle between the displacement and the force
W1=W2
W1 = (3.0 cos180) 5000m
W1=-15.O kJ
W=W1+W2
W=-30kJ
The resistive force is not a conservative force since the work done during the round trip is not zero
(a) The work done by the resistive force is 15,000 J
(b) The work done the resistive force is non-conservative since the resultant resistive force in not zero.
Work is said to be when an applied force displaces an object from its initial position.
The work done by the resistive force is calculated as follows;
W = FΔr
W = 3 x (5,000 - 0)
W = 15,000 J
Thus, the work done the resistive force is non-conservative since the resultant resistive force in not zero.
