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}.

A boat with a horizontal tow rope pulls a waterskier. She skis off to the side, the rope makes an angle of 15° with the forward
dsp73

Answer:

<h3>13,976.23Joules</h3>

Explanation:

Workdone by the rope is expressed using the formula;

W = Fd sin(theta)

F is the tension in the rope = 180

d is the displacement = 300m

theta is the angle of inclination = 15°

Substitute the given parameters into the formula;

W = 180(300)sin15

W = 54000sin 15

W = 13,976.23

Hence the workdone by the rope is 13,976.23Joules

Audio frequency range of a human ear is 20Hz - 20000 Hz. Express the range in terms of time period ? Answer needed urgently. Pl.
Feliz [49]
Using the term c in this case is a little confusing. It is more generic to use a general velocity, v. That way, in this case, we know to use the speed of sound. 

wavelength*frequency=v 

wavelength_20Hz = (345 m/s)/(1/20s) 

<span>wavelength_20kHz = (345 m/s)/(1/20000s)


I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!

How do you calculate the fundamental frequency of a pipe?
ankoles [38]

This depends on whether the pipe is closed or open ended.

The fundamental frequency of a pipe is the simplest, smallest portion of a wave that can fit into a pipe. At the open end of a pipe, there is always an antinode - an area with maximum air movement.

If it is an open ended pipe, there is an antinode at each end, meaning that the length of the pipe is equal to 1/2 <span>λ </span>. Manipulating the formula <span><span>v=fλ</span> </span> to solve for the fundamental frequency leaves us with <span><span>f=<span>v/<span>2L</span></span></span> </span> in an open ended pipe.
