Options

a. The worker carried the lunch up to the 53rd floor in the elevator.

b. The worker got a ride in a helicopter to the top of the 68-floor building and then carried the lunch down in the elevator to the 53rd floor?

c. The Worker carried it up the stairs to the 53rd floor.

d. Gravitational potential energy does not depend on the path taken.

Answer:

The gravitational Energy would remain the same in all cases.

Explanation:

Gravitational Energy is a conservative energy and its potential energy comes from gravitational actions.

An instance is when someone lifts a weight from the floor to a certain height and then dropped the weight back to the floor; the work done by the field will not be altered at all; it'll be the same throughout.

If otherwise, it'll be against thermodynamics 2nd law of physics because the object would have remaining energy after returning to the starting point,

For this reason, the gravitational potential energy only depends from the height, and is independent from the path taken to reach there.

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

98.13m

Explanation:

Complete question

Daniel is 50.0 meters away from a building. Tip of the building makes an angle of 63.0° with the horizontal. What is the height of the building

CHECK THE ATTACHMENT

From the figure, using trigonometry

Tan(θ ) = opposite/adjacent

Where Angle (θ )= 63°

Opposite= X = height of the building

Adjacent= 50 m

Then substitute the values we have

Tan(63)= X/50

1.9626= X/50

X= 1.9626 × 50

X= 98.13m

Hence, the height of the building is 98.13m

A machine lifts a 35 kg object doing 6860 J worth of work. How much power is produced by the machine if it lifts the object in 4
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

We need the power equation for this which is

P = Work/time

We have everything we need to solve this (the mass of the object is extra information):

P = 6860/4

P = 1715W

A kayakeris paddling 2.50 m/s at an angle of 45° (northeast) and the current is moving 1.25 m/s at an angle of 315° (southeast).
PIT_PIT [208]

The kayaker has velocity vector

<em>v</em> = (2.50 m/s) (cos(45º) <em>i</em> + sin(45º) <em>j</em> )

<em>v</em> ≈ (1.77 m/s) (<em>i</em> + <em>j</em> )

and the current has velocity vector

<em>w</em> = (1.25 m/s) (cos(315º) <em>i</em> + sin(315º) <em>j</em> )

<em>w</em> ≈ (0.884 m/s) (<em>i</em> - <em>j</em> )

The kayaker's total velocity is the sum of these:

<em>v</em> + <em>w</em> ≈ (2.65 m/s) <em>i</em> + (0.884 m/s) <em>j</em>

That is, the kayaker has a velocity of about ||<em>v</em> + <em>w</em>|| ≈ 2.80 m/s in a direction <em>θ</em> such that

tan(<em>θ</em>) = (0.884 m/s) / (2.65 m/s)   →   <em>θ</em> ≈ 18.4º

or about 18.4º north of east.

The impulse and the action and reaction  law emit explain the sensation of the foot when kicking two different objects the answer in each case

a) kick the ball  the sensation is not painful

b) kick the wall the feeling is painful

Newton's second law establishes a linear relationship between force and mass

            F = m a

Where the bold letters indicate vectors, F is the force, m the mass and the acceleration

Newton's third law or action and reaction law stable that the force acts on a pairs, the kicking of an object with a force F the object responds with a force of equal magnitude but opposite direction on us.

From Newton's second law we can derive a relationship between the impulse and the variation of the momentum

            I = ∫ F dt = Δp

Where I is the impulse, t the time and Δp the variation of the momentum

The impulse is related to the sensation that the body receives due to the variation of the amount of movement, in this case we have two situations

a) Kick a soccer ball

The mass of the ball is small so the force applied by the foot creates a large acceleration without the foot having a significant decrease in foot speed. Consequently the impulse applied by the ball on the foot is small, the sensation is not painful

b) Kick a brick wall

In this case, the mass of the wall is high and when kicked it does not acquire any movement, consequently the reaction of the wall creates a high impulse on the foot that causes its speed to quickly decrease to zero, the physical sensation of this reduction in quantity movement is painful.

In conclusion, the impulse and the law of action and reaction allow us to find the answer in each case.

a) kick the ball feeling painless

b) kick the wall painful feeling
