A book has been lifted 1.5 meters into the air giving it 30J of potential energy. How much force was used to lift it

Physics
1 answer:
joja [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Force on the object is 20 N

Explanation:

As we know that work done to raise the book from initial position to final position is known as potential energy stored in it

So here we know that

U = F.s

here we know that

U = 30 J

s = displacement = 1.5 m

so we have

30 = F(1.5)

F = 20 N

You jump off a truck and accelerate toward the surface of the Earth. Does the Earth accelerate toward you?
Triss [41]

When we jump from the truck and accelerate towards the earth surface, the earth also accelerates towards us but it's acceleration is very negligible.

To find the answer, we need to know about the acceleration of earth due to the gravitational attraction.

<h3>What's the gravitational force between the earth and a person?</h3>
  • Gravitational attraction force is GMm/r² between the earth and a person.
  • M= mass of the earth

m= mass of the person

r= separation between them.

<h3>What's the acceleration of the earth towards the person when he jumps from a truck?</h3>
  • According to Newton's second law, Force = M×acceleration
  • Acceleration= Force / M
  • Here, Force = GMm/r²,

so acceleration of earth= Gm/r²

  • As this acceleration is very small, so we can't notice it.

Thus, we can conclude that the earth also accelerates towards us.

A person wearing a shoulder harness can survive a car crash if the acceleration is smaller than -300 m/s . assuming constant acc
mars1129 [50]

To solve this problem, we use the equation:

<span>d = (v^2  - v0^2) / 2a</span>

 

where,

d = distance of collapse

v0 = initial velocity = 101 km / h = 28.06 m / s

v = final velocity = 0

a = acceleration = - 300 m / s^2

 

d = (-28.06 m / s)^2 / (2 * - 300 m / s^2)

<span>d = 1.31 m</span>

What will happen if you put a usb drive and a magnet too closely together?
kakasveta [241]
<span>If you put a magnet right next to a USB drive, depending on the strength of the magnet and the amount of steel, nickel or cobalt used in the construction of that particular model of USB drive, the drive would either adhere to, or not adhere to, the magnet. This would cause no other significant effects. The storage of data in solid state form (as in USB drives) is not magnetic in nature, so no deletion or any other damage of the stored data would occur.</span>

Consider the following statement:
vovangra [49]

Answer:

The statement "The magnetic field of a magnet comes out of the north pole and goes into the south pole" is imprecise

Explanation:

This is because the zero divergence equation (∇ · B = 0 ) is valid for any magnetic field, even if it is time dependent rather than static. Physically, it means that there are no magnetic charges otherwise we would have ∇ · B ∝ ρmag instead of ∇ · B = 0. Consequently, the magnetic field lines never begin or end anywhere in space; instead they form closed loops or run from infinity to infinity.
