after a large snowstorm you shovel 2000 kilograms of snow off your side walk in 1 hour. you lift the shovel to an average height

of 1.25 meters while you are piling the snow in your yard. how much work did you do?

Lifting a mass to a height, you give it gravitational potential energy of

       (mass) x (gravity) x (height)  joules.

To give it that much energy, that's how much work you do on it.

If 2,000 kg gets lifted to 1.25 meters off the ground, its potential energy is

         (2,000) x (9.8) x (1.25) = 24,500 joules.

If you do it in 1 hour (3,600 seconds), then the average power is

           (24,500 joules) / (3,600 seconds) = 6.8 watts.

None of these figures depends on whether the load gets lifted all at once,
or one shovel at a time, or one flake at a time.

But this certainly is NOT all the work you do.  When you get a shovelful
of snow 1.25 meters off the ground, you don't drop it and walk away, and
it doesn't just float there. You typically toss it, away from where it was laying
and over onto a pile in a place where you don't care if there's a pile of snow
there. In order to toss it, you give it some kinetic energy, so that it'll continue
to sail over to the pile when it leaves the shovel.  All of that kinetic energy
must also come from work that you do ... nobody else is going to take it
from you and toss it onto the pile.

When the driver steps on the accelerator, the drive wheels of the car push horizontally against the ground with a force of 4500
likoan [24]

Answer:

3740N

Explanation:

The magnitude of the net force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration of the object as shown in the formula below. If the net force acting on an object is zero, then the object is not accelerating and is in a state that we call equilibrium.

The formula for force is force = mass x acceleration.

To find mass, simply divide the force by the acceleration

acceleration=1.1m/s²

Mass=4500−760=3400N

Therefore, Mass x acceleration

=1.1m/s²x3400=3740N

What is the state of y when y = k/x, x is halved.
tangare [24]

Answer:

y becomes doubled.

Explanation:

If;

       y  = \frac{k}{x}  

what is the state of y when x is halved;

  the given expression is an inverse relationship. When y increases, x is supposed to decrease and vice versa.

 

 if x is halved; x  = \frac{x}{2}

           \frac{k}{\frac{x}{2} }   = \frac{2k}{x}  

Now compare :

      \frac{k}{x}  :  \frac{2k}{x}

we see that y becomes doubled
