Answer:

D)Twice as much

Explanation:

Work: This is the product of force and distance along the direction of the force. The S. I unit of work is Joules (J)

Energy: Energy is the ability or the capacity to perform work. Energy and work can be interchange during calculation.

E = W = mgh.................................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the load, h = height of one story, g = acceleration due to gravity.

constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

When the load is lift up only one story

W = 9.8mh..................... Equation 2

But when the load is lifted through two story,

height = 2h

W = 19.6mh .................... Equation 3

Comparing Equation 2 and equation 3,

It shows that the work done to lift the load up two story is twice the work done to lift the load up one story.

The right option is D)Twice as much

In 2-3 complete sentences, explain the relationship between speed, frequency, and wavelength.

Ahat [919]

The relationship of the speed of sound, its frequency, and wavelength is the same as for all waves: vw = fλ, where vw is the speed of sound, f is its frequency, and λ is its wavelength. ... The frequency is the same as that of the source and is the number of waves that pass a point per unit time.

A system of pulleys is used to raise a load of bricks that weighs 1,700 newtons. The force applied to the pulley is 340 newtons.

Law Incorporation [45]

By definition, we have that the mechanical advantage is given by the following equation:
$MA = \frac{W}{T} 
$
Where,
W: is the load
T: is the tension
Substituting the values in the given equation we have:
$MA = \frac{1700}{340}$
$MA = 5
$
Therefore, the mechanical advantage is equal to 5.
Answer:
The mechanical advantage of this machine is:
MA = 5

A charge moves a distance of 1.8 cm in the direction of a uniform electric field having a magnitude of 214 N/C. The electrical p

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

13.4 x 10 raise to power -19 C

Explanation:

. The distance moved by a charge in the direction of a uniform electric field is d= 1.8 cm =0.018 m

. The uniform electric field is E = 214 N/M

, The decrease in electrical potential energy is d(P.E) = 51.63 x 10 raise to power -19 J

Let the magnitude of the charge of the moving particle be q

which is given by the equation

d(P.E) =qEd

51.63 x 10 power -19 = q(214)(0.018)

51.63 x 10 power -19 =3.852q

by making q the formular,

q = 13.4 x 10 power -19 C
