1)  148 J

When lifting an object, the work done on the object is equal to its change in gravitational potential energy. Mathematically:

W = \Delta U = (mg) \Delta h

where

mg is the weight of the object

\Delta h is the change in height

For the box in this problem,

mg = 185 N

\Delta h = 0.800 m

Substituting into the equation, we find:

W=(185)(0.800)=148 J

2) (a) 28875 J

The work done by a force applied parallel to the direction of motion of the object is given by

W=Fd

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement

In this problem,

F = 825 N is the force applied by the two students together

d = 35 m is the displacement of the car

Substituting,

W=(825)(35)=28875 J

2) (b) 57750 J

As seen previously, the equation that gives the work done by the force is

W=Fd

We see that the work done is proportional to the magnitude of the force: therefore, if the force is doubled, then the work done is also doubled.

The work done previously was

W = 28875 J

Now the force is doubled, so the new work done will be

W' = 2(28875)=57750 J

3) 4.4 J

In this case, the force acting on the ball is the force of gravity, whose magnitude is:

F = mg

where

m = 0.180 kg is the mass of the ball

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

Solving the equation,

F=(0.180)(9.8)=1.76 N

Now we find the work done by gravity using the same formula applied before:

W=Fd

where d = 2.5 m is the displacement of the ball. We can apply this version of the formula since the force is parallel to the displacement. Substituting,

W=(1.76)(2.5)=4.4 J

4) 595.2 kg

In this case, we have the work done on the box:

W = 7.0 kJ = 7000 J

And we also know the change in height of the box:

\Delta h = 1.2 m

As we stated in part a), the work done on the box is equal to its change in gravitational potential energy:

W=mg \Delta h

Solving for m, we find

m=\frac{W}{g \Delta h}

And substituting the numerical values, we find the mass of the box:

m=\frac{7000}{(9.8)(1.2)}=595.2 kg

5) They do the same work

In fact, the net work done by each person on the box is equal to the change in gravitational potential energy of the box:

W=mg \Delta h

Where \Delta h is the difference in height between the final position and the initial position of the box.

This means that the work done on the box depends only on its initial and final position, not on the path taken. The two men carry the box along different paths, however the reach at the end the same position, and they started from the same position: this means that the value of \Delta h is the same for both of them, so the work they have done is exactly the same.

solong [7]

Answer: Erosion or water level rising

Explanation: Erosion happens when water goes against a rock and breaks it down little by little so these mountains may have once been above water but became eroded. Also, people might’ve added so much pollution into the ocean that the water level rose or there was an increase in the population of large animals. Sorry for my very long answer lol

A car is traveling at 100 km/h when the driver sees an accident 80 m ahead and slams on the brakes. what minimum constant decele
Effectus [21]
Assuming the driver starts slamming the brakes immediately, the car moves by uniformly decelerated motion, so we can use the following relationship
2aS = v_f^2 - v_i^2 (1)
where 
a is the deleceration
S is the distance covered after a time t
v_f is the velocity at time t
v_i=100 km/h = 27.8 m/s is the initial speed of the car

The accident is 80 m ahead of the car, so the minimum deceleration required to avoid the accident is the value of a such that S=80 m and v_f=0 (the car should stop exactly at S=80 m to avoid the accident). Using these data, we can solve  the equation (1) to find a:
a=- \frac{v_i^2}{2 S}= -\frac{(27.8 m/s)^2}{2 \cdot 80 m} =-4.83 m/s^2
And the negative sign means it is a deceleration.

An inventor claims to have developed a food freezer that, in steady-state conditions, requires a power input of 0.25 kW to extra
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The inventors  claim is not real

a)  No the the freezer cannot operate in such conditions

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  power input is  P_i  = 0.25 kW  =  0.25 *10^{3} \ W

      The  rate of heat transfer J  =  3050 J/s

       The temperature of the freezer content is T = 270 \ K

       The  ambient temperature is  T_a  =  293 \ K

Generally the coefficient of performance of a refrigerator at idea conditions is mathematically represented as

      COP  =  \frac{T }{Ta - T}

substituting values

     COP  =  \frac{270 }{293 - 270}

     COP  =11.7

Generally the coefficient of performance of a refrigerator at real conditions is mathematically represented as

       COP  =  \frac{J}{P_i}

substituting values

       COP  =  \frac{3050}{0.25 *10^{3}}

       COP  = 12.2

Now given that the COP  of an ideal refrigerator is  less that that of a real refrigerator then the claims of the inventor is rejected

This is because the there are loss in the real refrigerator cycle that are suppose to reduce the COP compared to an ideal refrigerator cycle where there no loss that will reduce the COP
