Work is simply the force applied over a distance.

Work = Force × Displacement (m) ...In some cases where an angle is involved cosФ (theta) is used 
Work = F × D(m) × Cos(an angle measure)

So for lifting the object cos(90°) would be used...while pushing cos(0°)
When you work out the formula for each it should be clear what the correct answer is.

Work = (force) x (distance)

You could look at the two cases, and see right away that
the first one has more force acting through more distance,
so it must be more work.  But since I just gave you the formula
for Work, let's calculate the amount of it for both cases:

First case:  Work = (115 N) x (15 m) =   1,725 joules

Second case:  Work = (20 N) x (10 m)  =  200 joules

The first case involves 8.625 times as much work as the second case.

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

2.145×10^-10 V or 0.2145nV

Explanation:

From hf=eV

h= Plank's constant = 6.6×10^-34JS

f= frequency of the electromagnetic wave = 5.2×10^4 Hz

e= electronic charge= 1.6×10^-19 C

V= voltage

V= hf/e

V= 6.6×10^-34JS × 5.2×10^4 Hz/ 1.6×10^-19 C

V= 2.145×10^-10 V or 0.2145nV

Therefore the voltage created is 2.145×10^-10 V or 0.2145nV

Which phrase desenbes an irregular galaxy ?
Andrews [41]

Answer:

contains many young stars

Explanation:

Irregular galaxies have <em>no definite shape</em>, which means that the first option is incorrect. They are definitely not round.

However,<u> they contain many young stars because the degree of star formation is fast.</u> They also contain old stars. Thus, the second choice is correct.

The "spiral galaxy" is the type of galaxy that has arms that extend from the center. These arms look "spiral," which influenced its name. This makes the last choice incorrect.

They are actually <u>smaller than the other types of galaxies.</u> This makes them <em>prone to collisions</em>. This makes the last choice incorrect.

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

  9.877 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration can be computed from ...

  d = (1/2)at^2

  (1600 m) = (1/2)a(18 s)^2

  a = (1600/162) m/s^2 ≈ 9.877 m/s^2
