Answer:

9.8\; {\rm J}, assuming that the gravitational field strength is g = 9.8\; {\rm N \cdot kg^{-1}}.

Explanation:

Notice that both the speed and the direction of motion of this block are constant. In other words, the velocity of this block is constant.

By Newton's Second Law, the net force on this block would be 0. External forces on this block should be balanced. Thus, the magnitude of the (downward) weight of this block should be equal to the magnitude of the (upward) force that the boy applies on this block.

Let m denote the mass of this block. It is given that m = 1\; {\rm kg}. The weight of this block would be:

\begin{aligned}\text{weight} &= m\, g \\ &= 1\; {\rm kg} \times 9.8\; {\rm N \cdot kg^{-1}} \\ &= 9.8\; {\rm N}\end{aligned}.

Hence, the force that the boy applies on this block would be upward with a magnitude of F = 9.8\; {\rm N}.

The mechanical work that a force did is equal to the product of:

  • the magnitude of the force, and
  • the displacement of the object in the direction of the force.

The displacement of this block (upward by s = 1\; {\rm m}) is in the same direction as the (upward) force that this boy had applied. Thus, the work that this boy had done would be the product of:

  • the magnitude of the force that this boy exerted, F = 9.8\; {\rm N}, and
  • the displacement of this block in the direction, s = 1\; {\rm m}.

\begin{aligned}\text{work} &= F\, s \\ &= 9.8\; {\rm N} \times 1\; {\rm m} \\ &= 9.8\; {\rm J}\end{aligned}.

I have an algorithm that runs in O(N ), where N is the size of the problem. For N = 100, the time for the algorithm to run is 1
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

B) 10 minutes

Explanation:

When the size of the problem is 100 then it takes 1 minute to solve

100\ s=1\ min

So, when the size of the problem is 1 then it takes the following minutes

1\ s=\frac{1}{100}\ min

For when the size of the problem is 1000 we have

1000\ s=\frac{1000}{100}\ min=10\ min

So, it will take 10 minutes to solve the algorithm of size 1000

How do you know when electric current is flowing in a lightbulb circuit?
daser333 [38]
The direction of an electric current is by convention the direction in which a positive charge would move. Thus, the current in the external circuit is directed away from the positive terminal and toward the negative terminal of the battery. Electrons would actually move through the wires in the opposite direction.
