Answer:

20 J of work is done by you, against gravity

Explanation:

Work done by gravity = Potential energy stored in the book after it is put ona shelf.

Potential energy stored:

U = mgh

U = wh

w= weight in Newton

m= mass of the book

g= acceleration due to gravity

h= height through which, it is raised.

Work is being done against gravity.

U = 10 \times 2

U = 20 J

Answer:

20 J

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of the book is, W=10\ N

Height or displacement of the book is, d=2\ m

The work done on the book to raise it to a height of 2 m on a shelf is against gravity. The gravitational force acting on the book is equal to its weight. Now, in order to raise it, an equal amount of force must be applied in the opposite direction.

So, the force applied by me should be equal to weight of the body and in the upward direction. The displacement is also in the upward direction.

Now, work done by the applied force is equal to the product of force applied and displacement of book in the direction of the applied force.

Therefore, work done is given as:

Work=W\times d\\Work=10\times 2=20\ J

Therefore, the work done to raise a book to a height 2 m from the floor is 20 J.

What is one way you are using nonrenewable resources?
lutik1710 [3]

Putting gas in your car is one way you are using non-renewable resources.

You could Reduce, Recycle and Re-use items. You could manage what you do with you're water. Reducing and reusing products cuts down on manufacturing pollution, just as the use of recycled instead of virgin materials prevents pollution in industrial processes. You could add food coloring to your toilet tank. You could also do this: use sprinkler heads that sprinkle mist out instead of droplets of water.  to avoid losing water to evaporation.

Estimate the wavelength of electrons that have been accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 60 kV.
ivolga24 [154]

Answer: 2.068*10^{-14}m

Explanation: According to work energy-theorem , the workdone in accelerating the electron equals the energy it would give off in terms of light.

workdone= qV

energy = hc/λ

q=magnitude of an electronic charge= 1.602*10^{-16}

h= planck constant = 6.626*10^{-34}

c= speed of light =2.998* 10^{8}

v= potential difference= 6*10^{4}

λ= wavelength=unknown

by making λ subject of formulae we have that

λ= \frac{hc}{qv}

λ = 6.626*10^{-34} * 2.998* 10^{8} / 1.602*10^{-16} * 6*10^{4}

λ = \frac{19.878*10^{-26} }{9.612*10^{-12} }

by doing the necessary calculations, we have that

λ = 2.068*10^{-14}m

Is it possible for one energy store to transfer into another energy store ?Explained answer
liraira [26]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Energy can be transferred from one object to another or between energy stores within the same object. For example on a pool table when white ball hits another ball energy is transferred from the kinetic store of the white ball to the kinetic store of the other ball.

The fast French train known as the TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse) has a scheduled average speed of 216 km/h. (a) If the train goes
faust18 [17]

Answer:

a)  r = 6122 m and b) v = 32.5 m / s

Explanation:

a) The train in the curve is subject to centripetal acceleration

         a = v2 / r

Where v is The speed and r the radius of the curve

They indicate that the maximum acceleration of the person is 0.060g,

        a = 0.060 g

        a = 0.060 9.8

        a = 0.588 m /s²

Let's calculate the radius

        v = 216 km / h (1000m / 1km) (1 h / 3600 s =

        v = 60 m / s

        r = v² / a

        r = 60² /0.588

        r = 6122 m

b) Let's calculate the speed, for a radius curve 1.80 km = 1800 m

        v = √a r

        v = √( 0.588 1800)

        v = 32.5 m / s
