Lifting a 50-kg sack through a vertical distance of 2 m requires same amount of work as lifting a 25-kg sack through a vertical distance of 4 m

<h3>How to determine which will require more work</h3>

To determine which will require more work, we shall determine the work done in lifting each sack. Details below:

i. Work done in lifting 50 Kg

  • Mass (m) = 50 Kg
  • Height (h) = 2 m
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Workdone (Wd) =?

Wd = mgh

Wd = 50 × 9.8 × 2

Workdone = 980 J

ii. Work done in lifting 25 Kg

  • Mass (m) = 25 Kg
  • Height (h) = 4 m
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Workdone (Wd) =?

Wd = mgh

Wd = 25 × 9.8 × 4

Workdone = 980 J

SUMMARY

  • Work done in lifting 50 Kg is 980 J
  • Work done in lifting 25 Kg is 980 J

Thus, equal amount of work done is needed.

Which two statements are true about a system?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:The correct options are:

1. A system is a group of objects analyzed as one unit.

2. Energy that moves across system boundaries is conserved.

Explanation:

A system is defined as group of interrelated or interacting items existing as a single unit or a whole to achieve a specific objective.Energy lost by the system is equal to the energy gained by the surroundings.

Two statements are true about a system:

  • A system is a group of objects analyzed as one unit.
  • Energy that moves across system boundaries is conserved.

What is the fundamental source of all energy in the universe ?
Ulleksa [173]
The energy from the sun is what sustains the solar system. But this is only a small part of the universe. So it will be inaccurate to say that the source of all energy in the universe is the sun. 
<span>The universe is made up of several other galaxies including our own milky way. But looking at these components of the universe, they are made up of stars. Considering that all other stars are similar to our sun, which by the way is also a star, then we can put it that their collective energies is what constitutes the energy source for the universe. </span>
<span>But here we have only considered what we know about the universe, since man has been able to explore only a minute fraction of the universe, it wont be fair to argue that this is absolute. There may be other energy sources out there that have not yet been discovered, but for now, the idea behind the summation of celestial energies should suffice. </span>

23. Lunar Gravity Compare the force holding a
romanna [79]

Explanation:

Given

mass of the rock is 10 kg

Force requires to hold the rock is equal to its weight

Weight is given by the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity

Weight on the earth surface

\Rightarrow W_e=10\times 9.8\\\Rightarrow W_e=98\ N

Weight on the moon surface

\Rightarrow W_m=1.6\times 10\\\Rightarrow W_m=16\ N

So, the force holding the rock on earth is approximately 6 times the force on the moon.
