The work done by gravity is  43 J while the work done by your habd is 27 J.

<h3>What is the work done?</h3>

We know that all over the earth is a large gravitational field. If an object is placed at a given height, the kind of energy that the object would be said to possess at that height is the gravitational potential energy. This is the kind of energy that a body would have because it is found at a given height on the earth surface.

Now, we know that gravity does some work on the book as it found to be at a position of about 2.2 on top of the shelf. The work that is done by the force of gravity on the book is obtained as;

W = mgh

W = work done

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

W = 2 * 9.8 * 2.2

= 43 J

The work that is done by your hand =

W = 2 * 9.8 (2.2 - 0.8)

= 27 J

Explain why you can only change one variable in an experiment
ohaa [14]
The purpose of an experiment is to LEARN the EFFECT of something.

The way you do that is to CHANGE the thing and see what happens.

You can change as many things as you want to.  But If you change
TWO things and observe the result, then you don't know which one
of them caused the effect you see. 

Or maybe BOTH of them working together caused it.  You don't know. 

So your experiment is not really much good.  You need to do it again.

A student makes a short electromagnet by winding 300 turns of wire around a wooden cylinder of diameter d 5.0 cm. The coil is co
kupik [55]

Answer:

A) μ = A.m²

B) z = 0.46m

Explanation:

A) Magnetic dipole moment of a coil is given by; μ = NIA

Where;

N is number of turns of coil

I is current in wire

A is area

We are given

N = 300 turns; I = 4A ; d =5cm = 0.05m

Area = πd²/4 = π(0.05)²/4 = 0.001963

So,

μ = 300 x 4 x 0.001963 = 2.36 A.m².

B) The magnetic field at a distance z along the coils perpendicular central axis is parallel to the axis and is given by;

B = (μ_o•μ)/(2π•z³)

Let's make z the subject ;

z = [(μ_o•μ)/(2π•B)] ^(⅓)

Where u_o is vacuum permiability with a value of 4π x 10^(-7) H

Also, B = 5 mT = 5 x 10^(-6) T

Thus,

z = [ (4π x 10^(-7)•2.36)/(2π•5 x 10^(-6))]^(⅓)

Solving this gives; z = 0.46m =

A flea walking along a ruler moves from the 45 cm mark to the 27 cm mark. It does this in 3 seconds. What is the speed? What is
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Speed= 6cm/s and velocity= 6cm/s in the negative direction

Explanation:

the change in position is from 45cm to 27 cm (moving towards the negative x direction)

\Delta x = 45 cm - 27 cm = 18 cm

And the change in time:

\Delta t= 3 s

Now we must define the difference between speed and velocity:

Speed is a scalar quantity, which means that it is a number. Velocity ​​is also a number but you must also indicate the direction of the movement.

Thus, the speed is:

speed= \Delta x/ \Delta t = 18cm/3s=6cm/s

An the velocity is:

6cm/s in the negative direction
