Which requires more work, lifting a 10.0kg load a vertical distance of 2m or lifting a 5.0kg load a distance of 4m?

1 answer:

6 0

For each load, Work = (mass) x (gravity) x (distance .

Bigger load: Work = (10 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (2 m) = 196 joules .

Smaller load: Work = (5 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (4 m) = 196 joules.

The work required is equal in both cases.

The mass ratio of 2:1 is exactly balanced by
the height ratio of 1:2 .

Answer:Electromagnetic force, like all forces, is measured in Newtons. Electrostatic forces are described by Coulomb’s law, and both electric and magnetic forces are covered by the Lorentz force law. However, Maxwell’s four equations provide the most detailed description of electromagnetism.

A 0.1 kg toy contains a compressed spring. when the spring is released the toy fly 0.45 m upwards from ground level before falli

trapecia [35]

The speed of the toy when it hits the ground is 2.97 m/s.

The given parameters;

mass of the toy, m = 0.1 kg

the maximum height reached by the, h = 0.45 m

The speed of the toy before it hits the ground will be maximum. Apply the principle of conservation of mechanical energy to determine the maximum speed of the toy.

P.E = K.E

$mgh_{max} = \frac{1}{2} mv_{max}^2\\\\gh_{max} = \frac{1}{2} v_{max}^2\\\\v_{max}^2= 2gh_{max}\\\\v_{max} = \sqrt{2gh_{max}}$
