Answer:

The building was moved to a distance of, S = 510.2 m

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of the building, m = 1.45 x 10⁶ kg

The work done to overcome the force of resistance, E = 1 x 10⁸ J

The force of resistance of the building, 2% of building weight

Fₓ = 2 x 1.45 x 10⁶ x 9.8 / 100

= 284200 N

The work done on the building,

E = Fₓ · S

∴ S = E / Fₓ

= 1.45 x 10⁶ / 284200 N

= 510.2 m

Hence, the building was moved to a distance of, S = 510.2 m

This would be an illustration of Newton's first law of motion. Law of inertia, an object moving at constant velocity will keep moving at constant velocity until a force is acted upon it. Inertia is the tendency of an object to keep moving in a particular direction resisting to change, unless a force acts upon the object.

You don't have any matches, so you want to focus sunlight to ignite a pile of twigs for a campfire. Which mirror would be best t

Anna35 [415]

Out of that list, the concave mirror is the only item that can concentrate sunlight and heat into a small area. But if you could get ahold of a convex lens, that would be even better.

A total charge of 4.70 is distributed on two metal spheres. When the spheres are 10 cm apart, they each feel a repulsive force o

Anna35 [415]

Answer:0.114 C

Explanation:

Given

Total 4.7 C is distributed in two spheres

Let $q_1$ and $q_2$ be the charges such that

$q_1+q_2=4.7$

and Force between charge particles is given by

$F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

$4.7\times 10^11=\frac{9\times 10^9\times q_1\cdot q_2}{0.1^2}$

$q_1\cdot q_2=0.522$

put the value of $q_1$

$q_2\left ( 4.7-q_2\right )=0.522$

$q_2^2-4.7q_2+0.522=0$

$q_2=\frac{4.7\pm \sqrt{4.7^2-4\times 1\times 0.522}}{2}$

$q_2=0.114 C$

thus $q_1=4.586 C$

what are the common elements that make up series and parallel circuits , and how are circuits diagrammed?

Ahat [919]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

A series circuit occurs when the elements are connected along a simple path so the same current flows through all the elements. On the other hand, a parallel circuit occurs when there are two or more paths for the electricity to flow. The diagram are shown in the Figure below. We have chosen a source and resistors to illustrate this problem.
