When you lift a book of the ground to your desk, what kind of work do you do, negative or positive?

Physics

It would be kinetic energy. Let's say the book is weighs 10 Newtons you need to use a force of 10 Newtons to lift the book. In other words it's positive. As you move the book you're giving it energy. Namely potential energy which will turn to kinetic energy if you let it go. So you're changing it's position and energy.

In which of the following elevator situations would the acceleration be positive. Select TWO answers
kap26 [50]

Both options 5 and 6

Explanation:

Let us consider option 5,

In option 5 body is moving up with initial velocity lower than that of final velocity which gets accelerated. Therefore the acceleration is positive in this case.

Let us consider option 6,

In option 6 body is moving down with initial velocity lower than that of final velocity which gets accelerated. Therefore the acceleration is positive in this case.

With countercurrent flow, diffusion happened in all regions of the filter. Explain why
jeka94

Answer:

When the blood and the dialysate are flowing in the same direction, as the the dialysate and the blood move away from the region of higher concentration of the urea, to a region distant from the source, the concentration of urea in the blood stream and in the dialysis reach equilibrium and diffusion across the semipermeable membrane stops within the higher filter regions such as II, III, IV or V

However, for counter current flow, as the concentration of the urea in the blood stream becomes increasingly lesser the, it encounters increasingly unadulterated dialysate coming from the dialysate source, such that diffusion takes place in all regions of the filter

A system dissipates 12 J of heat into the surroundings; meanwhile, 28 J of work is done on the system. What is the change of the
Stels [109]

Answer:

+16 J

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the 1st law of thermodynamics:

\Delta U = Q-W

where

\Delta U is the change of the internal energy of the system

Q is the heat (positive if supplied to the system, negative if dissipated by the system)

W is the work done (positive if done by the system, negative if done by the surroundings on the system)

In this case we have:

Q = -12 J is the heat dissipated by the system

W = -28 J is the work done ON the system

Substituting into the equation, we find the change in internal energy of the system:

\Delta U=-12 J-(-28 J)=+16 J

A 40 kg bike traveling down the road has a negative acceleration. What is true of the force? A. It is positive B. It doesn't exi
Greeley [361]

Answer:

C. It is negative

Explanation:

Per Newton's second law, the net force is the mass times the acceleration:

∑F = ma

If the acceleration is negative, the net force is negative.

If you were to drive an average velocity of 65 mi/hr to Traverse City, which is
Amanda [17]
Find the number of hours by dividing the distance by mph. The number of hours will be to the left of the decimal point:

250 miles / 65 mph
= 3.846153846
= 3 hours

2) Find the number of minutes by multiplying what is remaining from step 1 by 60 minutes. The minutes will be to the left of the decimal point:

0.846153846 x 60
= 50.76923076
= 50 minutes

3) Find the number of seconds by multiplying what is remaining from step 2 by 60 seconds. The seconds will be to the left of the decimal point:

0.76923076 x 60
= 46.1538456
= 46 seconds

So 3 hours 50 mins and 46 seconds
