You and a friend each carry identical boxes from the first floor of a building to a room located on the second floor, farther do

wn the hall. You choose to carry the box first up the stairs, and then down the hall to the room. Your friend carries it down the hall on the first floor, then up a different stairwell to the second floor. How do the amounts of work done by the two of you on your boxes compare?'

Answer:

Work done in both the cases will be same

Explanation:

As we know that the work done against gravity is given as

W = F_g .d

here we know that gravitational force is a conservative force and the work done against gravitational force is independent of the path

So here the work done by person to move the object between two different heights will be independent of the path they choose

So for the first person and second person will be same in both the cases because the height through which the boxes are transferred will be same in both the cases

Itzel travels south 4 miles and then goes east 2 miles and then north 10 miles. What is her displacement? Round your answer to t
expeople1 [14]

The displacement of Itzel according to the question is 6.3 miles SW

Displacement is defined as the distance moved by a body in a specified direction

Find the diagram attached

From the diagram given, we can see that AB is the displacement

To get the length AB, we will have to use the Pythagoras theorem:

AB^2=2^2+ 6^2\\AB^2 ^2=4+36\\AB^2=40\\AB=\sqrt{40}\\AB= 6.3 miles\\

From the diagram, we can also se that the direction of the displacement in the South West direction.

Hence the displacement of Itzel according to the question is 6.3 miles SW

A total resistance of 3.03 Ω is to be produced by connecting an unknown resistance to a 12.18 Ω resistance. (a) What must be the
insens350 [35]

Answer:

(a) 4.0334Ω

(b)parallel

Explanation:

for resistors connected in parallel;

\frac{1}{R_{eq} } =\frac{1}{R1}+\frac{1}{R2}

Req =3.03Ω , R1 =12.18Ω

\frac{1}{3.03 } =\frac{1}{12.18}+\frac{1}{R2}

\frac{1}{R2}=\frac{1}{3.03 }-\frac{1}{12.18}

\frac{1}{R2}=0.2479

R2=1/0.2479

R2=4.0334Ω

(b)parallel connection is suitable for the desired total resistance. series connection can not be used to achieve a lower resistance as the equation for series connection is.

Req = R1+R2

A car has a mass of 1000 kg and accelerates at 2 m/s2. What net force is exerted on the car?
prisoha [69]

Answer:

1000N

Explanation:

Based on force=mass*acceleration, if the acceleration is constant at 2 metres per second squared, 1,000kg*2m/s^2=2,000N of force.

If the acceleration steadily increases to 2m/s^2 in 20 seconds, take the average which is 1m/s^2 therefore force=1,000N

What is the cause of most waves and how can this change waves' characteristics?
Tanzania [10]

There are three main factors that affect wave formation: wind velocity, fetch, and duration.

Waves are most commonly caused by wind. Wind-driven waves, or surface waves, are created by the friction between wind and surface water. As wind blows across the surface of the ocean or a lake, the continual disturbance creates a wave crest.
