In which situation is the maximum possible work done?

Physics
1 answer:
ExtremeBDS [4]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Answer is A.

Explanation:

Remember the equation for work:

W = F d cos θ

Math explanation: When θ = 0, cos θ = 1, so Fd is a maximum. For any other value of θ up to 90 degrees, cos θ < 1 so Fd will be smaller. For θ = 180, you're pushing away from the direction of displacement so you're actually doing negative work.

Intuitive explanation: you have the most success pushing an object when you apply the force directly against it compared to if the force was directed at an angle.

The human ear canal is about 2.9 cm long and can be regarded as a tube open at one end and closed at the eardrum. What is the fu
solniwko [45]

The frequency of the human ear canal is 2.92 kHz.

Explanation:

As the ear canal is like a tube with open at one end, the wavelength of sound passing through this tube will propagate 4 times its length of the tube. So wavelength of the sound wave will be equal to four times the length of the tube. Then the frequency can be easily determined by finding the ratio of velocity of sound to wavelength. As the velocity of sound is given as 339 m/s, then the wavelength of the sound wave propagating through the ear canal is  

Wavelength=4*Length of the ear canal

As length of the ear canal is given as 2.9 cm, it should be converted into meter as follows:

wavelength = 4*2.9*10^{-2} =0.116

Then the frequency is determined as

f=c/λ=339/0.116=2922 Hz=2.92 kHz.

So, the frequency of the human ear canal is 2.92 kHz.

In Example 2.7, we investigated a jet landing on an aircraft carrier. In a later maneuver, the jet comes in for a landing on sol
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

a) 20 seconds

b) No.

Explanation:

t = Time taken for jet to stop

u = Initial velocity = 100 m/s (given in the question)

v = Final velocity = 0 (because the jet will stop at the end)

s = Displacement of the jet (Distance between the moment the jet touches the ground to the point the point it stops)

a = Acceleration = -5.00 m/s² (slowing down, so it is negative)

a) Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-100}{-5}\\\Rightarrow t=20\ s

The time required for the plane to slow down from the moment it touches the ground is 20 seconds.

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=100\times 20+\frac{1}{2}\times -5\times 20^2\\\Rightarrow s=1000\ m

The distance it requires for the jet to stop is 1000 m so in a small tropical island airport where the runway is 0.800 km long the plane would not be able to land. The runway needs to be atleast 1000 m long here the runway on the island is 1000-800 = 200 m short.

select the correct scientific notation form of this numeral 541 5 * 10^2 5.4 * 10^2 5.4 * 10^2 5.0 * 10^2
USPshnik [31]
To find the scientific notation, you need to divide at the decimal by the power of 10. So since there are 2 powers of 10, what you want to do is move the decimal 2 places to the left which will give you: .054
