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

The angle of incidence must equal the angle of reflection is always less than the angle of reflection is always greater than the
saw5 [17]

Answer: The angle of incidence is not always equal to the angle of reflection.

Explanation:

The angle of incidence might not be equal to the angle of reflection. It depends of the type of surface in consideration. If the surface is smooth, the incident ray will reflect out at the same angle the incident ray makes with surface. This is not the same for a rough or irregular surface.

For an irregular surface, the angle of incident is not equal to the angle if reflection because the reflected ray always reflects at different angles to the horizontal.

A boy whirls a ball on a string in a horizontal circle of radius 1 m. How many revolutions per minute must the ball make if its
spayn [35]

Answer:

Nearest, the revolutions per minute will be 29.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of circle = 1 m

Acceleration a =g

We know that,

Angular frequency is defined as,

\omega=2\pi n

Where, n = number of revolutions in one second

We need to calculate the revolutions in one second

Using formula of centripetal acceleration

a=\omega^2r

Put the value of a and ω

g=(2\pi n)^2r

n=\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{r}}\times\dfrac{1}{2\pi}

Put the value into the formula

n=\sqrt{\dfrac{9.8}{1}}\times\dfrac{1}{2\pi}

n=0.49

We need to calculate the revolutions per minute

Using value for the revolutions per minute

n=0.49\times60

n=29.4

Hence, Nearest, the revolutions per minute will be 29.

What is the empirical formula of a compound that contains 27.0% s
eduard

Answer:

Empirical formula of the compound = SOCl₂

Explanation:

QUESTION:What is the empirical formula of a compound that contains 27.0% S, 13.4% O, and 59.6% Cl by mass?

The empirical formula of a compound is its simplest formula. It tells us

* The component element present in a molecule of the compound.

* The ratio  in which these elements are combined together, i.e mole ratio.

To calculate the empirical formula of a compound that contains 27.0% S, 13.4% O, and 59.6% Cl by mass. ( Relative atomic mass of S=32gmol⁻¹, 0=16gmol⁻¹, Cl=35.5gmol⁻¹)

                                           Sulphure S,  Oxygen O, Chlorine Cl

percentage by mass:            27.0%                  13.4%            59.6%

Step 1:

Divide by their relative

atomic mass:                     27.0/32.0      13.4/16.0         59.6/35.5    

⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒                  0.844            0.838            1.679

Step 2:

Divide by the

smallest mole ratio:       0.844/0.838   0.838/0.838  1.679/0.838

∴                                            1              :         1           :       2.

from the analysis above, the compound contains Sulphur, Oxygen and Chlorine in the ratio of 1:1:2.

∴ Empirical formula of the compound = SOCl₂

What quantity is multiplied by the hydraulic lift system of a dump truck?
kogti [31]

funny, actually, i'm a hydraulic, and pneumatic cylinder, pump, and line system mechanic, and the answer is pressure.... pressure builds up from the hydraulic pump, and then transfers through hoses to extend, and contract the cylinders by filling them with hydraulic fluid, and vice versa for contracting them.

hope this helps!
