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}.

Show the equation of simple pendulum to be dimensionally consistent

T is in seconds (s) 

<span>2pi is dimensionless </span>

<span>L is in meters (m) </span>

<span>g is in meters per second squared (m/s^2) </span>

<span>so you can write the equation for the period of the simple pendulum in its units... </span>

<span>s=sqrt(m/(m/s^2)) </span>

<span>simplify</span>

<span>s=sqrt(m*s^2*1/m) cancelling the m's </span>

<span>s=sqrt(s^2) </span>

The distance between two objects is increased by three times the oringinal distance. How will this change the force of attractio
tigry1 [53]
<span>The distance between two objects is increased by three times the oringinal distance.  Since they were already separated by one time the original distance,
the additional three times the oringinal distance now puts them four times the original distance apart.

Whether we're talking about the gravitational forces of attraction or
the electrical forces of attraction, either one is inversely proportional
to the square of the distance between the objects. 

So changing the distance to four times the original distance causes
the forces to become 1/4</span>² as strong as they were originally. 

The forces become 1/16 of their original magnitude.<span>

The number of electrons an atom would gain or lose when forming ionic bonds. It can be positive, negative or zero.
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

<u>In an ionic bond , an element will have to lose or gain electrons.</u>

Explanation:

  • Ionic bond, also called electrovalent bond, type of linkage formed from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound.
  • Such a bond forms when the valence (outermost) electrons of one atom are transferred permanently to another atom.
  • <em>The atom that loses the electrons becomes a positively charged ion (cation), while the one that gains them becomes a negatively charged ion (anion).</em>

∴

  • <em>The number of electrons an atom would gain or lose when forming ionic bonds cannot be zero.</em>
