The first thing you should know for this case is that work is defined as the product of force by the distance traveled in the direction of force.
 We have then:
 W = Fd
 The distance varies, so we must integrate:
 from 0 to 20:
 W = ∫F (x) dx
 W = ∫32xdx
 W = 32∫xdx
 W = 32 (x ^ 2/2) = (16) (20 ^ 2) = 6400 ft * lbs
 answer:
 6400 ft * lbs is work done pulling the rope up 20 ft

How does Newton's second law of motion can be used to calculate the acceleration of an object?
Alex777 [14]

Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

An 80kg astronaut traveled to the moon, where gravity is one-sixth (116) as
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Wmoon = 131 [N]

Explanation:

We know that the weight of a body is equal to the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

Since we are told that the gravitational acceleration of the moon is equal to one-sixth of the acceleration of Earth's gravitation. Then we must multiply the value of Earth's gravitation by one-sixth.

w_{moon}=\frac{1}{6} *m*g\\w_{moon}=\frac{1}{6} *80*9.81\\w_{moon}=130.8 [N] = 131 [N]

Which of the following is not true about the Global Positioning Systems (GPS)?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Global Positioning Systems (GPS) is a system which uses a network of satellites to construct maps. So, that it would be easy to trace location of a person, or to reach over a certain place.

It helps an individual by showing the route of destination wherever he/she wants to reach along with the total time to reach over the place.

Thus, GPS can determine the elevation of a given area and also it can determine latitude and longitude of a given area. As each GPS satellite broadcasts with a high power, narrow bandwidth, down link signal which can be received by our small hand held receiver antenna called mobile phone.

A GPS cannot determine the composition of soil on mountain ranges.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, GPS can determine the composition of soil on mountain ranges is not true about the Global Positioning Systems (GPS).
