The Porter does no work because the force applied is perpendicular to the displacement

Explanation:

The work done by a force applied to an object is given by:

W=Fd cos \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement of the object

From the formula, we notice that:

- The work done is maximum when the force is parallel to the displacement (because \theta = 0^{\circ}, cos 0^{\circ}=1)

- The work done is zero when the force is perpendicular to the displacement (because \theta = 90^{\circ}, cos 90^{\circ}=0)

In this problem, Porter is carrying the suitcase: this means that the force he is applying is upward (to balance the weight of the suitcase, pulling down), while the displacement is in the horizontal direction: therefore, force and displacement are perpendicular, so the work done is zero.

4. Compare how thermal and electrical energy transfer between objects and give an example of how you can
Leokris [45]

Answer:

4) we take a can of cold soda there is a transfer from hand to can.  a current passes through a light bulb, it becomes incandescent and gives ligh

5) the law of energy conservation states that energy is neither created nor destroyed, therefore what happens is that you use energy and transform it into another type of energy,

Explanation:

4) This exercise is asked to give some examples of thermal and electrical energy transfer

the transfer of thermal energy occurs when we grasp a hot or cold body due to the difference in temperature between the body and us there is an exchange of heat, for example when drinking a cup of hot coffee there is a transfer of energy from the cup to the hand .

If we take a can of cold soda there is a transfer from hand to can.

Electrical transfer occurs, for example, when a current passes through a light bulb, it becomes incandescent and gives light.

In all modern electrical appliances there is transformation of electrical energy

5) the law of energy conservation states that energy is neither created nor destroyed, therefore what happens is that you use energy and transform it into another type of energy,

For example, when you lift a box, the potential energy of the box increases with height, but the energy of the person decreases because it does work that is negative.

In amusement park rides, the energy accumulated in one part of the game generally with height is transformed into energy of movement in another part of the game, but the total energy remains constant.

An athlete completes 1 laps around a track with a radius of 25 meters in 180 seconds. What is the magnitude of the athlete's tan
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

0.872<em>m/s</em>

Explanation:

Tangential velocity is given by the formula,

v= 2\pi r/ t

In the question given,

radius= 25meters

time= 180secs

pie= 3.14

number of laps= 1

The magnitude of tangential velocity equals;

\frac{1lap* 2 *3.14 *25m}{180secs}

<em>v </em>= 157<em>m</em>/180<em>secs</em>

Therefore, the magnitude of the tangential velocity

=0.872<em>m/secs</em>

A 5 kg ball is sitting on top of a hill. It has a Potential Energy of 6000J. What is the height of the ball?​
natali 33 [55]

Explanation:

mass=5 kg

potential energy=6000j

height=?

Now

potential energy =m.g.h

or 6000=5*9.8*h

or 6000=49h

or 6000÷49=h

or h= 122.45m

All the scientific theories used to explain the formation of the solar system are. . outdated. . imaginative. . non-testable. .
maria [59]

The correct answer for the statement “All the scientific theories used to explain the formation of the solar system are non-testable”. The answers outdated, imaginative and unacceptable are wrong. These theories are not proven and yet are not tested due to the complexity.
