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>

Artemon [7]

The universal law of gravitation says that the gravitational force between the two masses is

<em>F</em>₁ = <em>G</em> <em>m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / <em>r</em> ² = 6.0 × 10⁻⁶ N

where <em>r</em> = 12 m. When the distance between the two masses is reduced to <em>R</em> = 4 m, i.e. 1/3 of the original distance <em>r</em>, we have

<em>F</em>₂ = <em>G</em> <em>m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / <em>R </em>² = <em>G</em> <em>m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / (<em>r</em>/3)² = 1/9 <em>G</em> <em>m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / <em>r </em>² = 1/9 <em>F</em>₁

so that the resulting gravitational force has 1/9 the first magnitude, or

<em>F</em>₂ = 1/9 (6.0 × 10⁻⁶ N) ≈ 6.7 × 10⁻⁷ N

A scientific hypothesis can be valid even if it cannot be tested by observation or experimentation.
Katena32 [7]

A scientific hypothesis can certainly be valid even if it cannot be tested by observation or experimentation.  

But you don't <u><em>know</em></u> whether or not it's valid.
