If you perform 40 J of work lifting a 10-N box from the floor to a shelf, how high is the shelf?

Before anything, if you are lifting the Work value have to be negative, reason is because the formula to the work of the weight is:

w = p \times d \times cos \:  \theta
*Photo to help you to visualize. (P = Weight Force, F = Force)

If you are lifting, you are exercising a force that opposes the Weight Force, Force up (lifting) and Weight Force down (gravity pulling).
This forms a 180 angle and the cos 180 = -1.

Well let's do the question:

Work (W) = -40 J (Joule = Kg x m^2/s^2)
(negative, explanation given)

Weight Force (P) = 10 N (Newton = kg x m/s^2)

Distance (D) = ?

W = P x d x cos theta

-> -40 = 10 x d x -1
-> -40 = -10 x d
-> d = -40/-10 (J/N)
-> d = 4 meters

d =j  \div n \\ d = ((kg \times  {m}^{2} ) \div  {s}^{2}) \div ((kg \times m) \div  {s}^{2}) \\ d = m \: (meters)

What can always be said about a negatively-charged ion?
KiRa [710]

Answer: A negatively-charged ion always has more electrons than protons

Explanation:

First, we know that the elementary negative charge is the electron, while the positive one is the proton. Such that both have the same charge in magnitude, but a different sign. Such that if we have the same number of electrons and protons in an atom, the charge of this atom will be neutral.

And an ion is an atom with a different number of electrons and protons, so the charge of the atom is not neutral.

Then if we have a negatively-charged ion, the charge of this atom is negative. Then we must have a larger number of electrons (the negative ones) than protons (the positive ones)

Then the correct option is:

A negatively-charged ion always has more electrons than protons

A 1750-kilogram cars travels at a constant speed of 15.0 meters per second around a horizontal, circular track with a radius of
bulgar [2K]

m = mass of the car moving in horizontal circle = 1750 kg

v = Constant speed of the car moving in the horizontal circle = 15 m/s

r = radius of the horizontal circular track traced by the car = 45.0 m

F = magnitude of the centripetal force acting on the car

To move in a circle . centripetal force is required which is given as

F = m v²/r

inserting the above values in the formula

F = (1750) (15)²/(45)

F = (1750) (225)/(45)

F = 1750 x 5

F = 8750 N
