Sophie and Vivian were trying to push a cart up a ramp. They wanted to decrease the amount of effort they needed to use to get t

o the top of the ramp. Sophie said she wanted to increase the length of the ramp. Vivian said she wanted to decrease the length of the ramp. Who is correct and why?

Vivian, because the shorter the less effort, imagine pushing a cart up a mountain that would take a lot of effort, but up a hill would take less  effort. So making the ramp shorter will decrease the amount of effort they needed to use.
Hope that helps.

An object is moving with an initial velocity of 9m/s. It accelerates at a rate 1.5m/sec2 over a distance of 20m. What is it’s ne
puteri [66]

Answer:

11.87

Explanation:

final velocity^2= initial velocity ^2+ 2* Acceleration* distance

Final Velocity^2= 9*9+2*1.5.20

final velocity^2 = 141

final velocity = 11.87

What does it mean when work is positive?
Degger [83]

Answer:

To have a positive job, the two vectors must have the same direction

Explanation:

Work is a scalar defined as the scalar product of two vectors, the froce and the displacement. To have a positive job, the two vectors must have  

collinear and that their arrows point in the same direction.

You can also appreciate this from the work equation

       W = F. r

bold indicate vector

      W = F  r cos θ

 

With θ the angle between force and displacement

Why is a steam burn more damaging than a burn from boiling water at the same temperature?
maksim [4K]
The phase change (from gas to liquid) that the steam undergoes right when it touches your skin releases a lot of energy right onto your skin so it burns a ton. The boiling water would just burn you until it reaches the same temperature as your skin.

A horizontal spring has spring constant k = 360 N/m. First, compress the spring from its uncompressed length (x = 0) to x = 11.0
mixas84 [53]

Here we can say that by energy conservation principle

Elastic potential energy of spring will convert into kinetic energy of the block

so here we will have

\frac{1}{2} kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

we also know that

k = 360 N/m

x = 11 cm

m = 1.85 kg

now we will use all in above equation

\frac{1}{2}\times 360\times (0.11)^2 = \frac{1}{2}\times (1.85) v^2

4.356 = 0.925 v^2

v^2 = 4.71

v = 2.17 m/s

so it will move with speed 2.17 m/s after separating from spring
