The answer is; C

A calorie is  a unit of energy used to describe the energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree at an ambient pressure of 1 atmosphere. This SI unit has gained popularity in its use in nutrition where the energy in a particular type of food (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) is measured in calories.

2. Three super strong teenagers pull a heavy crate across the floor. Dion pulls with a force of 18.5 N towards 0°. Shirley pulls
kogti [31]

Answer:

A) The resultant force is 43.4 [N]

B) The movement of the heavy crate is going to the right and in the negative direction on the y-axis

Explanation:

We need to make a sketch of the different forces acting on the heavy crate.

In the attached image we can see the forces and the sum of the vector with their respective angles.

Forces in the X-axis

Fdionx=18.5N\\\\Fshix=16.5*cos(30)=14.29N\\Fjoanx=19.5*cos(60)=9.75N\\\\Forcex= 18.5 + 14.29 + 9.75 = 42.54 N

Forces in the y-axis

FDiony=0[N]\\Fshirley= 16.5*sin(30)=8.25[N]\\Fjoany=19.5*sin(60)=16.88 [N]\\\\Forcesy=0+8.25-16.88= -8.63[N]

Using the Pythagorean theorem

Tforce=\sqrt{(42.54)^{2} +(8.63)^{2} } \\\\Tforce= 43.4N

The movement of the heavy crate is going to the right and in the negative direction on the y-axis, this can be easily seen in the graphical sum of vectors.

Assume your mass is 60 kg. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . How much work against gravity do you do when you climb
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

W=1705.2 J

Explanation:

Given that

mass ,m= 60 kg

Acceleration due to gravity ,g= 9.8 m/s²

Height ,h= 2.9 m

As we know that work done by a force given as

W = F . d

F=force

d=Displacement

W=work done by force

Now by putting the values

F= m g (Acting downward  )

d= h  (Upward)

W= m g h    ( work done against the force)

W= 60 x 9.8 x 2.9 J

W=1705.2 J

Therefore the answer will be 1705.2 J.

Creates an image that appears upside down behind the focal point
zheka24 [161]
An image that appears upside down behind the focal point is an image that is reflected on a concave mirror. Mirrors reflect different kinds of images based on the placement of an object that is reflected towards it. There are two kinds of mirrors, concave and a convex mirrors, the latter makes objects seem smaller and farther than where it is exactly.
