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.

A student evaluates a weight loss program by calculating the number of times he would need to climb a 14.0 m high flight of step
Liula [17]

Answer:

400 trips

Explanation:

Mechanical energy needed to climb 14 m by a man of 68 kg

= mgh

= 68 x 9.8 x 14

= 9330 J

1 Kg of fat releases 3.77 x 10⁷ J of energy

.45 kg of fat releases 1.6965 x 10⁷ J of energy

22% is converted into mechanical energy

so 22% of 1.6965 x 10⁷ J

= 3732.3 x 10³ J of mechanical energy will be available for mechanical work.

one trip of climbing of 14 m requires 9330 J of mechanical energy

no of such trip possible with given mechanical energy

= 3732.3 x 10³ / 9330

= 400 trips

When an ocean plate converges with another plate, what is created on the seafloor at the line of convergence?
drek231 [11]
When two oceanic plates meet, the process of subduction occurs. During this, the denser plate slips underneath the lighter one, creating a subduction zone. In these subduction zones, a trench is formed. 
Trenches are deep crevices on the ocean floor and are home to many different marine species.<span />
