There are different kinds of forces; applied force, force of gravity, friction force, normal force, tension force. We will focus on the common forces, applied force and force of gravity. An applied force is a force that is applied to an object by another object. The force of gravity is the force with which massively large objects such as the earth attracts another object towards itself. All objects of the earth exert a gravity that is directed towards the center of the earth. Therefore, the force of gravity of the earth is equal to the weight of the object.

How much work is done against gravity when lowering a 16 kg box 0.50 m? (g = 9.8 m/s2)
leonid [27]

Answer:

The work done against gravity is 78.4 J

Explanation:

The work is calculated by multiplying the force by the distance that the

object moves

W = F × d, where W is the work , F is the force and d is the distance

The SI unit of work is the joule (J)

We need to find the work done against gravity when lowering a

16 kg box 0.50 m

→ F = mg

→ m = 16 kg, and g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these value in the rule

→ F = 16 × 9.8 = 156.8 N

→ W = F × d

→ F = 156.8 N and d = 0.50

Substitute these values in the rule

→ W = 78.4 J

<em>The work done against gravity is 78.4 J</em>

Calculate the wavelength λ1 for gamma rays of frequency f1 = 7.20×1021 hz .
bagirrra123 [75]
The relationship between wavelength \lambda, frequency f and speed of light c for an electromagnetic wave is
\lambda= \frac{c}{f}
Using the data of the problem, we find
\lambda= \frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s }{7.20 \cdot 10^{21} Hz}=4.17 \cdot 10^{-14} m
