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>

Answer:

The electric flux is $280\ \rm N.m^2/C$

Explanation:

Given:

Radius of the disc R=0.50 m
Angle made by disk with the horizontal $\theta=30^\circ$
Magnitude of the electric Field $E=713.0\ \rm N/C$

The flux of the Electric Field E due to the are dA in space can be found out by using Gauss Law which is as follows

$\phi=\int E.dA$

where

$\phi$ is the total Electric Flux
E is the Electric Field
dA is the Area through which the electric flux is to be calculated.

Now according to question we have

$=EA\cos\theta \\=713\times 3.14\times 0.5^2 \times \cos60^\circ\\=280\ \rm N.m^2/C$

Hence the electric flux is calculated.

Propose an experiment that could be used to demonstrate that friction is a contact force?

vesna_86 [32]

Maybe push or pull an object with a large amount of mass? you are force a (pushing through object) aka making contact. i hope i helped not good with physics :)

Answer:

Current will be 81.7 mA

Which is not given in bellow option

Explanation:

We have given capacitance $C=4.8mF=4.8\times 10^{-3}F$

Resistance R = 500 ohm

Voltage V = 12 volt

We know that time constant of RC circuit of RC circuit is given by

$\tau =RC=500\times 4.8\times 10^{-3}=2.4sec$

Time is given as t = 1 sec

We know that current in RC circuit is given by

$i=\frac{v}{R}(1-e^{\frac{-t}{\tau }})$

So current $i=\frac{12}{500}(1-e^{\frac{-1}{2.4 }})=0.00817A=81.7mA$

Which is not given in the following option
