A 12.0-kg package in a mail-sorting room slides 2.00 m down a chute that is inclined at 53.0° below the horizontal. The coeffici

ent of kinetic friction between the package and the chute’s surface is 0.40. Calculate the work done on the package by (a) friction, (b) gravity, and (c) the normal force. (d) What is the net work done on the package

Answer

given,

mass of the package = 12 kg

slides down distance = 2 m

angle of inclination = 53.0°

coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.4

a) work done on the package by friction is

              W_f = -μk R d

                   = -μk (mg cos 53°)(2.0)

                   =-(0.4)(8.0 )(9.8)(cos 53°)(2.0)

                   = -37.75 J

b)

work done on the package by gravity is

             W_g = m (g sin 53°) d

                   = (8.0 )(9.8 )(sin 53°)(2.0 )

                   =125.23 J

c)

the work done on the package by the normal force is

             W_n = 0

d)

the net work done on the package is

           W = -37.75 + 125.23 + 0

           W = 87.84 J

In what ways would organisms living in very deep water need to be specialized?
Nady [450]

Organisms living in great depths of water bodies like oceans and lakes need to be adapted for two (2) things especially; high water pressure and vision in darkness

The water column above from deep in the water can cause lots of hydrostatic pressure on the organisms’ cells. Also the fact that light cannot penetrate to great depth of water due to diffusion means the organisms must live in darkness.

Explanation:

It has been shown that cells from Piezophile bacteria have a high percentage of fatty acids in their membranes to prevent the cells from compacting solid from the high pressure.

Most of the organisms are also detritivores and use chemosynthesis for the autotrophs because light cannot reach these depths and hence photosynthesis is not possible.  Organisms with eye vision are adapted to high wavelength light that can at least reach greater depths before diffusing. Nonetheless natural selection would favour use of sight for most organisms in this benthic region.

An 85 kg man and his 35 kg daughter are sitting on opposite ends of a 3.00 m see-saw. The see-saw is anchored in the center. If
wolverine [178]

Answer:

0.54m

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

length of seesaw= 3m

mass of man m1= 85kg

weight = mg

W1= 85*10= 850N

mass of daughter m2= 35kg

W2= 35*10= 350N

distance from the center= (1.5-0.2)= 1.3m

Step two:

we know that the sum of clockwise moment equals the anticlockwise moment

let the distance the must sit to balance the system be x

taking moment about the center of the system

350*1.3=850*x

455=850x

divide both sides by  850

x=455/850

x=0.54

Hence the man must sit 0.54m from the right to balance the system

Match the property of a sound wave to the correct definition. A. amplitude . B. frequency  . C. period . D. pitch  E. loudness 
Maru [420]

Amplitude: How dense the medium is in the compression part of the wave, and how empty the rarefied area is.

Frequency: The number of wavelengths that pass a position in 1 second.

loudness: The quality of the sound that is most closely linked to the amplitude of the sound wave.

Period: The amount of time that it takes one wavelength to pass by a position.

Pitch: The quality of the sound that is most closely linked to the frequency of the sound wave.

How does an atom change if all of its electrons are removed?
Alex
<span>The atom becomes positively charged.

When you add electrons to a neutral atom, it is no longer a neutral atom, it has a negative change and is an anion. When you take away electrons from a neutral atom, it is no longer a neutral atom- it becomes a positive atom, and is a cation.</span>
