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 mass (in SI units) of (a) a 160 lb human being; (b) a 1.9 lb cockatoo. Calculate the weight (in English units) of

kondaur [170]

Explanation:

1. Force applied on an object is given by :

F = W = mg

(a) A 160 lb human being, F = 160 lb

g = acceleration due to gravity, g = 32 ft/s²

$m=\dfrac{F}{g}$

$m=\dfrac{160\ lb}{32\ ft/s^2}$

m = 5 kg

(b) A 1.9 lb cockatoo, F = 1.9 lb

$m=\dfrac{F}{g}$

$m=\dfrac{1.9\ lb}{32\ ft/s^2}$

m = 0.059 kg

2. (a) A 2300 kg rhinoceros, m = 2300 kg

$W=2300\ kg\times 32\ ft/s^2=73600\ lb$

(b) A 22 g song sparrow, m = 22 g = 0.022 kg

$W=0.022\ kg\times 32\ ft/s^2=0.704\ lb$

Hence, this is the required solution.

What is required for force to come into play

White raven [17]

Answer:

An interaction of one object with another object results in a force between the two objects. Thus, at-least two objects must interact for a force to come into play.
