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)

Answer:

9) a = 25 [m/s^2], t = 4 [s]

10) a = 0.0875 [m/s^2], t = 34.3 [s]

11) t = 32 [s]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use kinematics equations. In this way we have:

9)

a)

v_{f}^{2} = v_{i}^{2}-(2*a*x)\\

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0

Vi = initial velocity = 100 [m/s]

a = acceleration [m/s^2]

x = distance = 200 [m]

Note: the final speed is zero, as the car stops completely when it stops. The negative sign of the equation means that the car loses speed or slows down as it stops.

0 = (100)^2 - (2*a*200)

a = 25 [m/s^2]

b)

Now using the following equation:

v_{f} =v_{i} - (a*t)

0 = 100 - (25*t)

t = 4 [s]

10)

a)

To solve this problem we must use kinematics equations. In this way we have:

v_{f} ^{2} =  v_{i} ^{2} + 2*a*(x-x_{o})

Note:  The positive sign of the equation means that the car increases his speed.

5^2 = 2^2 + 2*a*(125 - 5)

25 - 4 = 2*a* (120)

a = 0.0875 [m/s^2]

b)

Now using the following equation:

v_{f}= v_{i}+a*t\\

5 = 2 + 0.0875*t

3 = 0.0875*t

t = 34.3 [s]

11)

To solve this problem we must use kinematics equations. In this way we have:

v_{f} ^{2} =  v_{i} ^{2} + 2*a*(x-x_{o})

10^2 = 2^2 + 2*a*(200 - 10)

100 - 4 = 2*a* (190)

a = 0.25 [m/s^2]

Now using the following equation:

v_{f}= v_{i}+a*t\\

10 = 2 + 0.25*t

8 = 0.25*t

t = 32 [s]

Which of the following methods has led to the earliest discoveries of massive planets orbiting near their parent stars a. detect
Mrac [35]

Answer:

c. detecting the gravitational effect of an orbiting planet (The Wobble"") by looking for the Doppler shifts in the star's spectrum

Explanation:

In a solar system the mass of the star and planets affect each other's orbital  movements. The center of gravity of a star and a planet is inside the star. This causes the star to be closer and farther from the Earth at different times. Due to this wobble the star appears to be red shifted when it is farther and blue shifted when it is closer.

When the mass of the planet is high, like a hot Jupiter it causes more wobble i.e., change in radial velocity. This makes it easier to detect the planet. The earliest hot Jupiter found by this method is the planet 51 Pegasi b.

A balloon filled with helium occupies 20.0 l at 1.50 atm and 25.0◦
bija089 [108]
At stp (standard temperature and pressure), the temperature is T=0 C=273 K and the pressure is p=1.00 atm. So we can use the ideal gas law to find the number of moles of helium:
pV=nRT
where p is the pressure (1.00 atm), V the volume (20.0 L), n the number of moles, T the temperature (273 K) and R=0.082 atm L K^{-1} mol^{-1} the gas constant. Using the numbers and re-arranging the formula, we can calculate n:
n= \frac{pV}{RT}= \frac{(1.00atm)(20.0L)}{(0.082 LatmK^{-1}mol^{-1})(273 K)}=0.89 mol

One gallon of gasoline in an automobiles engine produces on average 9.50 kg of carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas; that i
Musya8 [376]

The annual production of carbon dioxide is 124121.49×10^{6}[/tex] kg.

First we calculate the fuel consumed by each car in a year

Fuel consumed=6990/21.4=326.63 gallon

Now we calculate the amount of fuel consumed by 40 million cars in a year

Fuel consumed=326.63*40*10^6=13065.42 million gallon,

Now we can calculate the annual production of carbon dioxide in the USA

CO2 production rate=9.50*13065.42=124121.49*10^6 kg

Therefore the annual production of carbon dioxide in USA is 124121.49×10^{6}[/tex] kg
