Two children of about the same weight are playing at the playground. They both climb up to the top of a small tower. One slides

back down to ground level on a frictionless slide. The other freely drops down from the tower. Both children start their trips back down to the ground with an initial speed of zero.
Which combination of statements below is most accurate? [Enter your answer as a string of the letter options you believe are correct. For instance, if you think options A, D, and E are correct, then enter "ADE"]

A) The work done by gravity on each child is positive as they climb the tower.
B) The children have different kinetic energies on reaching ground level
C) The work done by gravity on both children is negative as they descend from the tower.
D) The overall work done by gravity is zero.
E) None of the above

Answer:

D

Explanation:

D) The overall work done by gravity is zero  

This statement is correct .

If m be the mass of each of the children and h be the height of tower

work done by gravity on the boys in going up = - mgh

it is so because force applied by gravity = mg downwards and displacement

is upwards

work done will be negative = - mgh

Work done by gravity on boys when they come down = + mgh because both force and displacement are downwards .

Hence total work done = - mgh + mgh = 0.

The children will have same kinetic energy as the inclined surface is friction-less so no energy will be dissipated hence addition of energy to boys in both the cases will be same.

To pull an old stump out of the ground, you and a friend tie two ropes to the stump. You pull on it with a force of 500 N to the
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

C. less than 950 N.

Explanation:

Given that

Force in north direction F₁ = 500 N

Force in the northwest F₂ = 450 N

Lets take resultant force R

The angle between force = θ

θ = 45°

The resultant force R

R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+2F_1F_2cos\theta}

R=\sqrt{500^2+450^2+2\times 450\times 500\times cos\theta}

R= 877.89 N

Therefore resultant force is less than 950 N.

C. less than 950 N

Note- When these two force will act in the same direction then the resultant force will be 950 N.

Which list of properties of alternation current is the most likely reason it was chosen over direct current to provide electrici
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

- Direct current is a current in which electrons flow in one direction only

- Alternating current is a current in which the direction of the electron flow reverses periodically - so, half a cycle forward, half a cycle backward

There are several advantages of using alternating currents for the transmission of electricity across a country, over large distances. The main advantages are:

- The voltage of alternating currents can be easily increased/decreased by using transformers. For instance, a transformer is used at the beginning of the transmission line to increase the voltage (electricity is transmitted at high voltage in order to reduce dissipated power), and then another transformer is used before the electricity enters the houses, in order to decrease the voltage. Transformers only work with alternating currents.

- It is easy to interrupt the flow of an alternating current, because its value naturally becomes zero every half a cycle, so this is useful in case the current must be interrupted.
