Answer: D. The force and displacement are in the same direction.

Explanation:

The Work $W$ done by a Force $F$ refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path with distance $d$ .

Work is a scalar magnitude, and its unit in the International System of Units is the Joule (like energy).

Now, when the applied force is constant and the direction of the force and the direction of the displacement are <u>parallel</u>, the equation to calculate it is:

$W=(F)(d)$ (1)

When they are not parallel, both directions form an angle, let's call it $\alpha$ . In that case the expression to calculate the Work is:

$W=Fdcos{\alpha}$ (2)

When the force and displacement are perpendicular to each other, $\alpha=90\°$ and <u>no work is done</u>.

A car is traveling north at 17.7 m/s . After 6 it’s velocity is 141 in the same direction. Find the magnitude and direction of t

Furkat [3]

By equation of motion we have v = u + at

Where u = Initial velocity, v = final velocity, t = time taken and a = acceleration

Here v = 141 m/s, u = 17.7 m/s and t = 6 s

On substitution we will get

141 = 17.7+ 6a

So, a = (141-17.7)/6 = 20. 55 m/ $s^{2}$

Aceeleration = 20. 55 m/ $s^{2}$ along north direction.

Why does thermal radiation pass more easily into a greenhouse then out of it?

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Since heated materials give off infrared radiation, the warm greenhouse soil, water, sand and other materials emanate this thermal radiation in longer wavelengths than the radiation that heated the materials. A greenhouse gas (GHG) is any gas in the atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiation in the thermal infrared range. These are the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect, which results in increased temperatures on Earth. Less heat radiates into space, and Earth is warmer.

3 kids are pushing on a cart 2 are pushing north at 50 N each. The 3rd is pushing South at -90 N. The net force is _N?

scoray [572]

Answer:

Explanation:

When two forces act in the same direction , they add up and when they act in opposite direction , they subtract .

2 forces each of 50 N act in same direction , so they will add up to give resultant force of 100 N . Now third force acts in opposite direction so 100 N and - 90 N will subtract to give total resultant force .

Resultant force = 100 - ( - 90 ) = 190 N

So net force or resultant force = 190 N .
