6 Ns is the work done on the book to lift it by 3 m.

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done is the measure of amount of force required to move an object from its initial position to any desired position. So mathematically it can be calculated as the product of force acting on that object to the displacement of that object. Thus, work done on any object or by any object is directly proportional to the force acting on that object and the displacement of that object.

Work done = Force × displacement

As here the force is said to be 2 N and the displacement of the book is said to be 3 m, the work done on the book is

Work done = 2×3 = 6 N.s.

The time has no role to do on the work done calculation to be performed on the object.

Thus, 6 Ns is the work done on the book to lift it by 3 m.

How would radiation occur in space?

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Space radiation is made up of three kinds of radiation: particles trapped in the Earth's magnetic field; particles shot into space during solar flares (solar particle events); and galactic cosmic rays, which are high-energy protons and heavy ions from outside our solar system.

At the instant the traffic light turns green, an automobile starts with a constant acceleration a of 2.5 m/s2. At the same insta

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

6.96 s

Explanation:

Given:

u = initial speed of the automobile = 0 m/s

a = constant acceleration of the automobile = $2.5\ m/s^2$
v = constant speed of the truck = 8.7 m/s

Assume:

t = time instant at which the automobile overtakes the truck.

At the moment the automobile and the truck both meat each other the distance travel by both vehicles must be the same.

$\therefore \textrm{Distance traveled by the automobile }=\textrm{Distance traveled by the truck}\\\Rightarrow ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2=vt\\\Rightarrow (0)t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.5\times t^2=8.7t\\\Rightarrow 1.25t^2=8.7t\\\Rightarrow 1.25t^2-8.7t=0\\\Rightarrow t(1.25t-8.7)=0\\\Rightarrow t = 0\,\,\,or\,\,\, t = \dfrac{8.7}{1.25}\\\Rightarrow t = 0\,\,\,or\,\,\, t = 6.96\\$

Since t = 0 s is the initial condition. So, they both meet again at t = 6.96 s such that the automobile overtakes the truck.

A stereo speaker produces a pure \"c\" tone, with a frequency of 262 hz. what is the period of the sound wave produced by the sp

jasenka [17]

Answer:

3.82 ms

Explanation:

The period of a wave is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency:

$T=\frac{1}{f}$

where f is the frequency.

In this problem, f = 262 Hz, so the period if this sound wave is

$T=\frac{1}{262 Hz}=3.82\cdot 10^{-3} s=3.82ms$

Galois drove 60.0 kilometers due west in 5.00 hours and then drove 43.0 kilometers due north in 3.00 hours.

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Explanation:

See the attachment for the details. A right triangle is formed to find the hypotenuse of the two legs consisting of the actual driving distances and times. The hypotenuse gives the vector information for the displacement at the end of 8 hours of driving.

The individual driving times and distances are summed to provide:

(a) How far did he travel?

103 km

(b) What was his average speed?

12.88 km/h

(c) What was his displacement?

73.82 km

(d) What was his average velocity?

9.228 km/h
