amount of work done is 5880 J

Given:

mass of object = 50kg

Final height = 20m

initial height = 8m

To Find:

amount of work done

Solution:

work is done when a force acts upon an object to cause a displacement. You can calculate the energy transferred, or work done, by multiplying the force by the distance moved in the direction of the force.

The work done by gravity is given by the formula,

W = mgh

W = 50 x 9.8 x ( 20-8)

= 5880 J

So the work done is 5880 J

How long will it take for a radioactive isotope with a decay constant of 0.15 (which means a half life of 4.6 days ) to decay to
jek_recluse [69]
Radioactive decay is given by:
N = No x e^(-λt)
We know that N/No has to be 0.05
λ = 0.15
0.05 = e^(-0.15t)
t = ln(0.05)/(-0.15)
t = 19.97 days

An airplane takes off a runway at a constant speed of 49m/s at constant angle 30 to the horizontal
joja [24]

Complete Question

An airplane takes off a runway at a constant speed of 49 m/s at constant angle 30 to the horizontal.How high (in meters )  is the airplane above the ground 13 seconds after takeoff?

Answer:

The height  is H  =  318.5 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The speed at which the plane takes off is  u = 49 \ m/s

      The angle at which it takes off is  \theta  =  30 ^o

        The time taken is t =  13  s

The vertical distance traveled is  mathematically represented as

          H  =  u sin  \theta  t

Substituting values  

         H  =  (49) * sin (30) *13

        H  =  318.5 \ m

Select all that apply.
GenaCL600 [577]

The correct answer to the question is: A) miles/hour and B) metre/ second.

EXPLANATION:

Before answering this question, first we have to understand speed.

The speed of a body is defined as the rate of distance travelled or the distance travelled by a body per unit time.

Hence, it is a derived quantity which is obtained from distance and time.

The unit of distance can be metre, miles, and the unit of time can be second, minutes or hour.

As speed is the distance covered per unit time, the perfect units will be miles/hour and metre/second.

Hence, the correct options are first and second.
