How much work does a 65 kg person climbing a 2000 m high cliff do?

Physics
1 answer:
qaws [65]3 years ago

The answer for the following question is explained below.

  • <u><em>Therefore the work done is 130 kilo Joules.</em></u>

Explanation:

Work:

A force causing the movement or displacement of an object.

Given:

mass of the person (m) = 65 kg

height of the cliff (h) = 2000 m

To calculate:

work done (W)

We know;

According to the formula:

  <u>W = m × g × h</u>

Where;

m represents mass of the person

g represents the acceleration due to gravity

where the value of g is;

  <u> g = 10 m/ s²</u>

h represents the height of the cliff

From the above formula;

  W = 65 × 10 × 2000

 W = 130,000 J

  W = 130 Kilo Joules

<u><em>Therefore the work done is 130 kilo Joules.</em></u>

The average speed between earth and the sun is 1.50 x10^8 km. Calculate the average speed of the Earth in its orbit in kilometer
cluponka [151]

Answer:

The average speed of the earth in its orbit is 29.86km/s

Explanation:

The average distance between the Earth and the Sun is 1.50x10^{8} km.

The average speed of the earth in its orbit can be found by the next equation :

v = \frac{2 \pi r}{T}  (1)

Where r is the radius and T is the period.

In this case, the orbit of the Earth can be considered as a circle

(r = 1.50x10^{8}km) instead of an ellipse.

It takes 1 year to the Earth to make one revolution around the Sun. Therefore, its period will be 365.25 days.

Notice that to express the period in terms of seconds, the following is needed:

365.25d . \frac{86400s}{1d} ⇒ 31557600s

Then, equation 1 can be used:

v = \frac{2 \pi (1.50x10^{8}km)}{31557600s}

v = 29.86km/s

A circular track has a radius of 50m.What is the displacement?
stepladder [879]

The displacement of a moving object is the straight-line distance between the place it starts from and the place where it stops.

The displacement of anything moving along a circular track depends on how  far around it goes before it stops.  The greatest displacement it can possibly have is the diameter of the track ... 100m on this particular one ... because that's as far apart as two places on a circle can ever be.

The most interesting case is when the object goes around the circle exactly once.  Then it stops at the same place it started from, the distance between the starting point and ending point is zero, and after all that motion, the displacement is zero.

If our planet was twice as far away how would the Earth’s orbit change?
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

One of the indirect proofs that orbits change is actually in the growth of our own teeth when we were children. our teeth are some of the most basic, and primitive

parts of our bodies. They grow on a 9 day cycle, which was an ancient full moon to full moon cycle when the Earth and the Moon were a lot smaller, and closer together, and the co-orbital period was only 9 days, not the 29.5 days that it is currently.

So Given any two " Planets " that co-orbit a common gravitational center, the larger planet will grow larger far faster than the smaller planet, and the larger planet will accelerate the smaller planet to a higher orbit with a longer period, and decelerate itself to a lower orbit with a longer period, and the absolute value of the center to center distance will increase, and the orbital period will increase. The two orbs and their common gravitational center will remain co-linear through out the gradual growing and changing process.

This is an important process for the enlargement of the solar system as time passes, and an important process for larger galaxies as they attract and merge with smaller galaxies.

All of the planets grow larger at an accelerating rate, and thus systems spiral outward concentrating mass into larger and fewer galaxies, solar systems, and planet - moon systems.

What are the effects of forces to the motion of an object?​
melamori03 [73]
Forces affect how objects move. They may cause motion; they may also slow, stop, or change the direction of motion of an object that is already moving. Since force cause changes in the speed or direction of an object, we can say that forces cause changes in velocity. Remember that acceleration is a change in velocity.
