Answer:

a. negative

b. zero

Explanation:

work is the change in the energy of a system due to external forces

work is done when a force moves a load through a distance in the direction of the force

The work done by a force on a  system is positive when the force  and the force displacement point  in the same direction and negative  when they point in opposite  directions

in the scenario we are considering in the question, the force (the hand) moves the block vertically upwards but the displacement of the block reduces (in the opposite direction) since it decelerates. as such the work done by gravity on the block is negative.

the work done on the block is zero if the system consists of the block and the earth because there is no gravitational force exerted on the system

A pin fin of uniform, cross-sectional area is fabricated of an aluminum alloy (k = 160 W/m-K). The fin diameter is D = 4 mm, and
frozen [14]

Answer:

Given that

D= 4 mm

K = 160 W/m-K

h=h = 220 W/m²-K

ηf = 0.65

We know that

m=\sqrt{\dfrac{hP}{KA}}

For circular fin

m=\sqrt{\dfrac{4h}{KD}}

m=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\times 220}{160\times 0.004}}

m = 37.08

\eta_f=\dfrac{tanhmL}{mL}

0.65=\dfrac{tanh37.08L}{37.08L}

By solving above equation we get

L= 36.18 mm

The effectiveness for circular fin given as

\varepsilon =\dfrac{2\ tanhmL}{\sqrt{\dfrac{hD}{K}}}

\varepsilon =\dfrac{2\ tanh(37.08\times 0.03618)}{\sqrt{\dfrac{220\times 0.004}{160}}}

ε = 23.52

Explain a charged by neutral body negatively by induction
Tpy6a [65]
If a negatively charged object is used to charge a neutral object by induction, then the neutral object will acquire a positive charge. And if a positively charged object is used to charge a neutral object by induction, then the neutral object will acquire a negative charge.

An object has a momentum of 4,000 kg-m/s and a mass of 115 kg. It crashes into another object that has a mass of 100 kg, and the
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

18.60  m/s

Explanation:

Original momentum = mv = 4000        with m = 115    

after collision   m = 115 + 100 = 215 kg

  but the total momentum is still the same (conserved)

          4000 = 215 v      shows v = 18.60 m/s
