<span>An ax is an example of a wedge. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "b". The other choices given in the question are incorrect and can be easily neglected. I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your great help.</span>
That would be
0 degrees Celsius aka the melting point of water.... If you look at the diagram I attached you notice that at 0 degrees Celsius it is flat, this is because much heat is needed at this point for water to rise to 1 degree... It is the same for the boiling point (100)<span />
<span>The current is 6 miles per hour.
Let's create a few equations:
Traveling with the current:
(18 + c)*t = 16
Traveling against the current:
(18 - c)*t = 8
Let's multiply the 2nd equation by 2
(18 - c)*t*2 = 16
Now subtract the 1st equation from the equation we just doubled.
(18 - c)*t*2 = 16
(18 + c)*t = 16
(18 - c)*t*2 - (18 + c)*t = 0
Divide both sides by t
(18 - c)*2 - (18 + c) = 0
Now solve for c
(18 - c)*2 - (18 + c) = 0
36 - 2c - 18 - c = 0
36 - 2c - 18 - c = 0
18 - 3c = 0
18 = 3c
6 = c
So the current is 6 mph.
Let's verify that.
(18 + 6)*t = 16
24*t = 16
t = 16/24 = 2/3
(18 - 6)*t = 8
12*t = 8
t = 8/12 = 2/3
And it's verified.</span>
<u>Yes, work is done when a book falls of the table.</u>
This is because:
When the book falls, it's potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. As it reaches the floor down, this kinetic energy is converted to heat energy and sound energy due to the impact.
When a force is imposed on an object to cause displacement of that object, work is done on that object. For a force to do work on an object, there should be a displacement and this force should cause the displacement. So here, since the book falls from the table and causes the displacement of the book from the table to the floor. It is said that work is done.
Work can be given by the formula:
W = F • d
where F is the force and d is the displacement.
