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

A light wave travels through air at a speed of 3.0x108 m/s. Green light has a wavelength of about 5.76x1014Hz. What is the wavel

solong [7]

Answer:

521 nm

Explanation:

Given the values and units we are given, I'm assuming 5.76*10^14 Hz is frequency.

The formula to use here is λ * υ = c, where λ is wavelength, υ is frequency, and c is the speed of light.

λ = $\frac{3*10^8\frac{m}{s} }{5.76*10^{14}Hz} = {5.20833*10^{-7} m}\approx{521 *10^{-9}m}={521 nm}$

A 50.0 kg driver is riding at 35.0 m/s in her red sports car when she must suddenly slam on the brakes to avoid

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

3500N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of driver = 50kg

Speed = 35m/s

Time = 0.5s

Unknown:

Average force the seat belt exerts on her = ?

Solution:

The average force the seat belt exerts on her can be deduced from Newton's second law of motion.

F = mass x acceleration

So;

F = mass x $\frac{change in velocity }{time}$

F = 50 x $\frac{35}{0.5}$ = 3500N

Hydraulic press is called an instrument for multiplication of force. Why?

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Hydraulic press is called an instrument for multiplication of force. Why? Because it uses Pascal's idea and principle: F=p*S. If we apply small force to small piston you will generate a pressure. According to Pascal's law pressure is the same everywhere in closed system so the same pressure will act on large piston on the other side too.

1. What distance is required for a train to stop if its initial velocity is 23 m/s and its

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

x=?

dt=?

vi=23m/s

vf=0m/s (it stops)

d=0.25m/s^2

time =

vf=vi+d: 0=23m/s+(0.25m/s^2)t

t=92s

displacement=

vf^2=vi^2+2a(dx)

23^2=0^2+2(0.25m/s^2)x =-1058m

Explanation:

you can find time from vf = vi + a(Dt): 0 = 23 m/s + (0.25 m/s/s)t so t = 92 s and you can find the displacement from vf2 = vi2 + 2a(Dx) and find the answer in one step: 232 = 02 + 2(0.25 m/s/s)x so x = -1058 m
