Answer: 1,224 km/h

Explanation:

To do this, we pick the first unit and convert
Picking m first and converting to km:
Since we're converting from a non-prefix to a prefix, we divide the value by the prefix were taking it to. In this case, kilo = 10³ which means we're going to divide our value by 1000 to convert it from m to km
340 m/s ÷ 1000 = 0.34 km/s
Now, let's convert our seconds to hour:
We'll need to calculate how many hours is equivalent to one second first;
1 hr = 60×60 seconds
X hr = 1 second
*Cross multiply*
1 × 1 = X × 60 × 60
1 = 3,600 X
X = 1 / 3,600
X = 2.778×10⁻⁴ hour
So, in the place of "1 Second", we're going to be inserting 2.778×10⁻⁴ hour instead
0.34 km / s = 0.34 km / 2.778×10⁻⁴ hour
(0.34 / 2.778×10⁻⁴) km/hour
1,224 km/h.
340 m/s = 1,224 km/h

• How much work is<br>required to lift a 2kg<br>object 2m high?<br>​
pychu [463]

Answer You need to consider that the gravity on earth is 9.8 m/s/s. This means any object you let go on the earths surface will gain 9.8 m/s of speed every second. You need to apply a force on the object in the opposite direction to avoid this acceleration. If you are pushing something up at a constant speed, you are just resisting earths acceleration. The more massive and object is, the greater force is needed to accelerate it. The equation is Force = mass*acceleration. So for a 2kg object in a 9.8 m/s/s gravity you need 2kg*9.8m/s/s = 19.6 Newtons to counteract gravity. Work or energy = force * distance. So to push with 19.6 N over a distance of 2 meters = 19.6 N*2 m = 39.2 Joules of energy. There is an equation that puts together those two equations I just used and it is E = mgh

The amount of Energy to lift an object is (mass) * (acceleration due to gravity) * (height)

:Hence, the Work done to life the mass of 2 kg to a height of 10 m is 196 J. Hope it helps❤️❤️❤️

A spherical shell contains three charged objects. The first and second objects have a charge of − 14.0 nC and 31.0 nC , respecti
allsm [11]

Answer:

The charge on the third object is − 21.7nC

Explanation:

From Gauss's Law

Φ = Q/ε₀

where;

Φ is the total electric flux through the shell = − 533 N⋅m²/C

Q is the total charge Q in the shell = ?

ε₀ is the permittivity of free space = 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

From this equation; Φ = Q/ε₀

Q = Φ * ε₀ = − 533 * 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

Q =  −4.7 X 10⁻⁹ C = -4.7nC

Q = q₁ + q₂ + q₃

− 4.7nC = − 14.0 nC + 31.0 nC + q₃

− 4.7nC − 17nC = q₃

− 21.7nC = q₃

Therefore, the charge on the third object is − 21.7nC

A 20 ft ladder leans against a wall. The bottom of the ladder is 3 ft from the wall at time t=0 and slides away from the wall at
stellarik [79]

Answer: 0.516 ft/s

Explanation:

Given

Length of ladder L=20 ft

The speed at which the ladder moving away is v=2 ft/s

after 1 sec, the ladder is 5 ft away from the wall

So, the other end of the ladder is at

\Rightarrow y=\sqrt{20^2-5^2}=19.36\ ft

Also, at any instant t

\Rightarrow l^2=x^2+y^2

differentiate w.r.t.

\Rightarrow 0=2xv+2yv_y\\\\\Rightarrow v_y=-\dfrac{x}{y}\times v\\\\\Rightarrow v_y=-\dfrac{5}{19.36}\times 2=0.516\ ft/s
