Answer:

The work done by gravity is 784 J.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the block is, $m=40\ kg$

Height to which it is raised is, $h=2\ m$

Acceleration due to gravity is, $g=9.8\ m/s^2$

Now, work done by gravity is equal to the product of force of gravity and the distance moved in the direction of gravity. So,

$\textrm{Work by gravity}=F_g\times h$

Force of gravity is given as the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

$\therefore F_g=mg=40\times 9.8=392\ N$ . Now,

$\textrm{Work by gravity}=F_g\times h=392\times 2=784\ J$

Therefore, the work done by gravity is 784 J.

This dude was sitting in the chair. Someone pulls the chair out from under him. He does not move in the direction of the chair.

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

This shows inertia because inertia is an object's resistance to change in motion. When the person (imma call them a she) who pulled the chair from under the guy did that, the chair was the one affected by the force of the girl, not the guy. The guy continued heading in the direction he was originally going, which was down.

At least, that's about how I would answer this question.

If you wish to observe features that are around the size of atoms, say 5.5 × 10^-10 m, with electromagnetic radiation, the radia

Tanya [424]

Answer:

a) 5.5×10^17 Hz

b) visible light

Explanation:

Since the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation must be about the size of the about itself, this implies that;

λ= 5.5 × 10^-10 m

Since;

c= λ f and c= 3×10^8 ms-1

f= c/λ

f= 3×10^8/5.5 × 10^-10

f= 5.5×10^17 Hz

The electromagnetic wave is visible light

Two students make the following claims:

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

E. Student 1 is correct, because as θ is increased, h is the same.

Explanation:

Here we have the object of a certain mass falling under gravity so the force acting on the it will depend on mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity.

Mathematically:

$F=m.g$

As we know that the work done is evaluated as the force applied on a body and the displacement of the body in the direction of the force.

And for work we have:

$W=F.s\cos\theta$

where:

$s=$ displacement of the object

$\theta=$ angle between the force and displacement vectors

Given that the height of the object is same in each trail of falling object under the gravity be it a free-fall or the incline plane.

In case of free-fall the angle between the force is and the displacement is zero.
In case when the body moves along the inclined plane the force applied by the gravity is same because it depends upon the mass of the object. And the net displacement in the direction of the gravitational force is the height of the object which is constant in both the cases.

So, the work done by the gravitational force is same in the two cases.
