It would depend on the directions of the boxes, but I believe there would be 3 units of work.

Definitely the large box.

W = FS, where F is the net force, S is the relative displacement.

Assume you applied the force at only one instant, then only friction does the work. So for larger box, the higher the mass will be. So does the friction.

And the S is even bigger.

A boy reaches out of a window and tosses a ball straight up with a speed of 10 m/s. The ball is 20 m above the ground as he rele
kirill115 [55]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the ball, v = 10 m/s

Initial position of ball above ground, h = 20 m

(a) Let H is the maximum height reached by the ball. It can be calculated using the conservation of energy as :

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh'            

h'=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}

h'=\dfrac{(10)^2}{2\times 9.8}

h' = 5.1 m

The maximum height above ground,

H = 5.1 + 20

H = 25.1 meters

So, the maximum height reached by the ball is 25.1 meters.

(b) The ball's speed as it passes the window on its way down is same as the initial speed i.e. 10 m/s.

Hence, this is the required solution.

What are some ways that electric fields are similar to magnetic fields?
sattari [20]

Answer:

The correct answers are the proportionality of the fields concerning distance, vector fields, and forces at a distance.

Explanation:

The similarities between magnetic fields and electric fields are that electric fields are produced by two charges that can be positive and negative. Magnetic fields are associated with two magnetic poles, although they are also produced by moving charges. Both fields are inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the sources, both fields are vectorial and both act by distant forces.

In a hydroelectric power plant, 65 m3 /s of water flows from an elevation of 90-m to a turbine-generator, where electricity is g
Mariulka [41]

The electric output of the plant is 48.19 MW

First we need to calculate the water power, it is given by the formula

WP=ρQgh

Here, ρ=1000 kg/m3 is density of water,Q is the flow rate, g is the gravity, and h is the water head

Therefore, WP=1000*65*9.81*90=57388500 W=57.38 MW

Now the overall efficiency of the hydroelectric power plant is given as

η=\frac{electric power}{water power}

Plugging the values in the above equation

0.84=EP/57.38

EP=48.19 MW

Therefore, the electric output of the plant is 48.19 MW.
