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

Two identical conducting spheres, A and B, carry equal charge. They are separated by a distance much larger than their diameters
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

C. \frac{3F}{8}

Explanation:

Let initial charges on both spheres be,q

F=\frac{Kq^2}{d^2}   \ \ \  \ \ \  \ \ \  \ \_i

When the sphere C is touched by A, the final charges on both will be,\frac{q}{2}

#Now, when C is touched by B, the final charges on both of them will be:

q_c=q_d=\frac{q/2+q}{2}\\\\=\frac{3q}{4}\\

Now the force between A and B is calculated as:

F\prime=\frac{k\times\frac{q}{2}\times \frac{3q}{4}}{d^2}\\F\prime=\frac{3F}{8}

Hence the electrostatic force becomes 3F/8

An object moving at a constant speed of 25 m/s is making a turn with a radius of curvature of 7 m (this is the radius of the "ki
prisoha [69]

Answer:

- 278.34 kg m/s^2

Explanation:

The rate of the change of momentum is the same as the force.

The force that an object feels when moviming in a circular motion is given by:

F = -mrω^2

Where ω is the angular speed and r is the radius of the circumference

Aditionally, the tangential velocity of the body is given as:

v = rω

The question tells us that

v = 25 m/s

r = 7m

mv = 78 kg m/s

Therefore:

m = (78 kg m/s) / (25 m/s) = 3.12 kg

ω = (25 m/s) / (7 m) = 3.57 (1/s)

Now, we can calculate the force or rate of change of momentum:

F = - (3.12 kg) (7 m)(3.57 (1/s))^2

F = - 278.34 kg m/s^2

Under state law, what is the blood-alcohol limit for legally operating a motor vehicle?
Sati [7]

Answer:

HOPE IT HELPS.....

Explanation:

The legal standard for drunkenness across the United States ranges from 0.10 to 0.08. If a person's BAC measures 0.08, it means that there are 0.08 grams (i.e., 80 mg) of alcohol per 100 ml of blood. The American Medical Association says that a person can become impaired when the blood alcohol level hits 0.05.
