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

When water change into ice it contracts or expand plz answer fast..

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:Yes, water indeed expands when it changes form from liquid to solid. And this is because water has a property called “hydrogen bonds”, and these bonds occur between each water molecule. But when water is in a liquid form these hydrogen bonds break more easily and occur less frequently. When the temperature drops the kinetic energy also drops, which in turn makes hydrogen bonds form more frequently. So the water molecules form a lattice, which is less dense than regular liquid water.

Based on Archimedes' principle, we know that if an object displaces a given weight of water, then the object is being buoyed up

Virty [35]

True. If the amount displaced is more than the mass, it floats. If the amount is less than the mass, it will sink.

Match the basic components of a nuclear reactor with their descriptions. 1. slows down neutrons moderator - This is the substance that slows down fast neutrons and makes them slow neutrons which are easier to capture by the atomic nuclei so that the fission reaction can continue. 2. absorb emitted neutrons control rods - These are rods made up of a substance that easily absorbs neutrons. Their purpose is to slow down or shut down the reaction. 3. mass of unstable atoms nuclear fuel - The entire point of a nuclear reactor is the capture the energy released by the fission of unstable atoms. So this mass of unstable atoms is the fuel for the nuclear reactor. 4. concrete and lead enclosure shield - This is the enclosure that prevents radiation from escaping into the general environment. 5. energy transfer medium coolant - Since the purpose of a nuclear reactor is to generate usable energy, the coolant extracts heat from the fissioning core and that heat is generally used to boil water which in turn is used to operate turbines that power electrical generators.

A high diver dives into a swimming pool. His potential energy at the top is 10,000 J (relative to the surface of the pool). What

Semmy [17]

Answer:

Kinetic energy of diver at 90% of the distance to the water is 9000 J

Explanation:

Let d is the distance between the position of the diver and surface of the pool.

Initially, the diver is at rest and only have potential energy which is equal to 10000 J.

As the diver dives towards the pool, its potential energy is converting into kinetic energy due to law of conservation of energy, as total energy of the system remains same.

Energy before diving = Energy during diving

(Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy) = (Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy)

When the diver reaches 90% of the distance to the water, its kinetic energy

is 90% to its initial potential energy, as its initial kinetic is zero,i.e.,

K.E. = $\frac{90}{100}\times10000$

K.E. = 9000 J
