Answer:
Wg is positive and WT negative.
(Letters in options are all wrongly written).
Explanation:
Remember that the work of a force is the internal product between the force and the displacement
.
Since the displacement is downwards like the weight, the work done by gravity is positive, while the work done by the tension is negative since it points upwards.
Ah ha ! Very interesting question.
Thought-provoking, even.
You have something that weighs 1 Newton, and you want to know
the situation in which the object would have the greatest mass.
Weight = (mass) x (local gravity)
Mass = (weight) / (local gravity)
Mass = (1 Newton) / (local gravity)
"Local gravity" is the denominator of the fraction, so the fraction
has its greatest value when 'local gravity' is smallest. This is the
clue that gives it away.
If somebody offers you 1 chunk of gold that weighs 1 Newton,
you say to him:
"Fine ! Great ! Golly gee, that's sure generous of you.
But before you start weighing the chunk to give me, I want you
to take your gold and your scale to Pluto, and weigh my chunk
there. And if you don't mind, be quick about it."
The local acceleration of gravity on Pluto is 0.62 m/s² ,
but on Earth, it's 9.81 m/s.
So if he weighs 1 Newton of gold for you on Pluto, its mass will be
1.613 kilograms, and it'll weigh 15.82 Newtons here on Earth.
That's almost 3.6 pounds of gold, worth over $57,000 !
It would be even better if you could convince him to weigh it on
Halley's Comet, or on any asteroid. Wherever he's willing to go
that has the smallest gravity. That's the place where the largest
mass weighs 1 Newton.
Answer:
75 km/h
Explanation:
Speed = Distance divided by Time.
The train went a distance of 300 km in 4 hours. Therefore, the speed of the train is: 300 divided by 4 = 75 km/h
The ability to sustain life
(ie water, shelter, food, basic needs)
Hope this helped!
