A firefighter applies a force of 2 N to lift the fire hose 3 meters up a ladder to put out a fire. How much work has the firefig
2 answers:
Answer:
The work is 6 J (Joule)
Explanation:
Work is defined as the force that is applied on a body to move it from one point to another. When a net force is applied to the body or a system and this produces displacement, then that force is said to perform mechanical work.
In the International System of Units, work is measured in Joule. Joule is equivalent to Newton per meter.
The work is equal to the product of the force by the distance (displacement) and by the cosine of the angle that exists between the direction of the force and the direction that travels the point or the object that moves.
In this case, the angle between the force and the displacement is 0 degrees. This is because the force and displacement are in the same direction. So the cosine of 0 degrees will have a value of 1.
Also, in this case the force has a value of 2 N and the displacement or distance is 3 meters. So the work is:
Work= 2 N* 3 meters* cos(0)
Work= 2 N* 3 meters* 1
Work= 6 Joule
<u><em>The work is 6 J (Joule)</em></u>

The characteristics of the graphic representation are to find the scales and make the best graphic, in the attachment we have the points plotted
The graphical representation is one of the best methods to see the relationships between groups of data and to be able to find the functional relationships between them.
In this case, it is requested to make a scatter plot where the measured temperature is placed on the x-axis and the heat on the y-axis.
In the attachment we can see a graph with the requested data, the most important part of finding these graphs is looking for the scales
x-axis
scale x =
y-axis
scale y =
In general, the paper is 20 x 30 cm, we select the shortest part as the x axis
scale x =
scale x = 1º
Let's find the scale on the axis and the maximum value is 54000 and the minimum value is 3800, as the minimum value is much less than the maximum value, let's set this value to zero
scale y =
scale y = 1800
To facilitate marking the values, we select a slightly larger scale,
Selected scale
scale y = 2000 \frac{j}{cm \ paper}
Let's mark the points.
From observing these graph we see;
- The relationships are linear
- For the same material the amount of heat necessary to reach the same temperature is proportional to the mass of the material
Using the characteristics of the graphical representation, it is possible to find the scales and make the best graph
