Answer:

-58.8 J

Explanation:

The work done by a force is given by:

W=Fdcos \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement of the object

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement.

In this problem, we are asked to find the work done by gravity, so we must calculate the magnitude of the force of gravity first, which is equal to the weight of the object:

F=mg=(2.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=19.6 N

The displacement of the object is d = 3.00 m, while \theta=180^{\circ}, because the displacement is upward, while the force of gravity is downward; therefore, the work done by gravity is

W=Fdcos \theta=(19.6 N)(3.00 m)(cos 180^{\circ})=-58.8 J

And the work done is negative, because it is done against the motion of the object.

Answer:

-58.8 J

Explanation:

Work done on the object by gravity = Force due to gravity x Displacement

Force due to gravity = weight of the object

                                  = m g

                                  = (2.0 kg) (9.8 m/s²)

                                  = 19.6 N

The force due to gravity acts in downwards direction opposite the direction of the displacement. Thus, the angle between the force and the displacement is 180°.

Work done on the object by gravity

= 19.6 N x 3.00 m x cos 180° = -58.8 J

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

A) F(r) = [12a/(r^(13))] - [6b/(r^(7))]

ii) Graphs are attached

B) Equilibrium Distance = (2a/b)^(1/6)

C) Minimum Energy = b²/4a

D) a = 6.67 x 10^(-138) Jm^(12)

b = 6.41 x 10^(-78) Jm^(6)

Explanation:

I've attached the explanation of A-C alongside the graphs

D) i) From the question, we are to make r equal to the derivative of "r" we got when F(r) = 0 which was r = (2a/b)^(1/6)

Thus, since we are given equilibrium distance as: 1.13 x 10^(-10), hence;

(2a/b)^(1/6) = 1.13 x 10^(-10)m

So, (2a/b)= [1.13 x 10^(-10)]^(6)

a = (b/2)[1.13 x 10^(-10)]^(6)

From earlier, we saw that b²/4a = U(r)

Thus since U(r) = 1.54 x 10^(-18) from the question, b²/4a = 1.54 x 10^(-18)

Putting a = (b/2)[1.13 x 10^(-10)]^(6);

We have;

(b²) / [(4b/2)[1.13 x 10^(-10)]^(6)]] = 1.54 x 10^(-18)

b/2 = [1.13 x 10^(-10)]^(6)] x 1.54 x 10^(-18)

So, b = 6.41 x 10^(-78) Jm^(6)

ii) Putting (6.41 x 10^(-78))² for b in;

a = (b/2)[1.13 x 10^(-10)]^(6)

We have, a = (6.41 x 10^(-78))²/ ( 4 x 1.54 x 10^(-18)

So a = 6.67 x 10^(-138) Jm^(12)

A note is played on a flute. Which of the parts of the wave would be affected by playing a higher pitch note and how? A) D, the
blagie [28]

Answer: The frequency would get higher and wavelength would get shorter.

Explanation:

Pitch is directly related to frequency. Frequency is perceived in the form of pitch. High pitch means high frequency and low pitch means low frequency. When a note is played on the flute, playing it on a higher pitch would affect the frequency and wavelength. Frequency would get higher and because wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency, it would get shorter.
