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.

Which of the following statements are true? (mark all that apply)
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

(a) and (b)

Explanation:

Energy is the capacity to do work, and exists in various forms. These forms can be converted one to another by the use of appropriate means. Some examples are sound, mechanical, solar, light, which causes the sensation of vision, etc. energy is measured in Joules (J).

The rate of transfer of energy is called power.

i.e Power = \frac{energy}{time}

It is measured in Watts (W).

When a white light is disperses into its colors, gray and black are not part of the colors. And a black sometimes could be as a result of the absorption of all other colors of light.

An underground gasoline tank can hold 1.07 103 gallons of gasoline at 52.0°F. If the tank is being filled on a day when the outd
Damm [24]

Answer:

1069.38 gallons

Explanation:

Let V₀ = 1.07 × 10³ be the initial volume of the gasoline at temperature θ₁ = 52 °F. Let V₁ be the volume at θ₂ = 97 °F.

V₁ = V₀(1 + βΔθ)  β = coefficient of volume expansion for gasoline = 9.6 × 10⁻⁴ °C⁻¹

Δθ = (5/9)(97°F -52°F) °C = 25 °C.

Let V₂ be its final volume when it cools to 52°F in the tank is

V₂ = V₁(1 - βΔθ) = V₀(1 + βΔθ)(1 - βΔθ) = V₀(1 - [βΔθ]²)

    = 1.07 × 10³(1 - [9.6 × 10⁻⁴ °C⁻¹ × 25 °C]²)

    = 1.07 × 10³(1 - [0.024]²)

    =  1.07 × 10³(1 - 0.000576)

    = 1.07 × 10³(0.999424)

    = 1069.38 gallons

Explain how the zodiacal constellations are different from the other constellations.
Temka [501]

Answer:

They lie on the Ecliptic (apparent path of the Sun around Earth)

Explanation:

There are total 88 constellations in the sky out of which only 12 are considered as zodiacal constellations or Sun signs. This is because these are the constellations which lie on the Ecliptic.

Ecliptic is the apparent path of Sun around the Earth.

In other words, it can be said that the Sun appears to reside in 12 constellations throughout the year as the Earth revolves around it.

Why must batteries be connected when the terminal voltage across each of them was measured
photoshop1234 [79]

Batteries are connected when the terminal voltage across each of them was measured because batteries have an internal resistance that is in series with the load.

<h3>What is a chemical reaction?</h3>

A chemical reaction is a process in which one or more substances, also known as reactants are converted to one or more different substances, known as products. A chemical reaction rearranges the constituent atoms of the reactants to create different substances as products

In batteries, the chemical energy is converted into electrical energy with help of a chemical reaction happening inside the battery.

Batteries and other power sources have an internal resistance that runs parallel to the load. The overall resistance of the path of the electron flow inside the source constitutes the internal resistance, which is not technically a resistor. Usually, internal resistance is extremely minimal.

Thus, considering the internal resistance of the batteries, the terminal voltage across each of them was measured.
