You are a nurse in a hospital. You are told to move a patient through three corridors each measuring 14.33 meters. Because of fr

iction it requires a constant force of 848 N to move the patient and wheelchair. How much work must you perform to accomplish this task?

Work done by force is given by formula

W = F.d

now here work done against friction is given so force of friction here is

F_f = 848 N

It moved by three corridors with each measures

d = 14.33 m

so total distance will be

s = 14.33 \times 3 = 43 m

now from above formula of work done we will say

W = 848 \times 43

W = 36464 J

so above is the work done to move three corridors

Imagine Two Artificial Satellites Orbiting Earth At The Same Distance. One Satellite Has A Greater Mass Than The Other One? Whic
Bad White [126]

After reading this whole question, I feel like I've already
earned 5 points !

-- Two satellites at the same distance, different masses:

The forces of gravity between two objects are directly
proportional to the product of the objects' masses.  In
other words, the gravitational forces between the Earth
and an object on its surface are proportional to the mass of
the object.  In other words, people with more mass weigh more
on the Earth, and the Earth weighs more on them. 

If the satellites are both at the same distance from Earth,
then the Earth pulls on the one with more mass with greater
force, and also the one with more mass pulls on the Earth
with greater force.

-- Two satellites with the same mass, at different distances:

The forces of gravity between two objects are inversely
proportional to the square of the distance between them. 
In other words, the gravitational forces between the Earth
and an object are inversely proportional to the square of
the distance between the object and the center of the Earth. 

If the satellites both have the same mass, then the Earth
pulls on the nearer one with greater force, and also the
nearer one pulls on the Earth with greater force.

-- Resistor in a circuit when the voltage changes:

The resistance depends on how the resistor was manufactured. 
Its resistance is marked on it, and doesn't change.  It remains
the same whether the voltage changes, the current changes,
the time of day changes, the cost of oil changes, etc.

If you increase the voltage in the circuit where that resistor is
installed, the current through the resistor increases.  If the current
remains constant, then you can be sure that somebody snuck over
to your circuit when you weren't looking, and they either installed
another resistor in series with the original one to make the total
resistance bigger, or else they snipped the original one out of the
circuit and quickly connected one with more resistance in its place.

How much gravitational potential energy does a 45.2 kg object have when it is 21.9m above the ground?
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational potential energy is

Ep = m · g · h   Assuming that the acceleration is g = 10m/s²

Ep = 45.4 · 10 · 21.9 = 9,942.6 J

God is with you!!!

A painter stands a horizontal platform which has a mass of 20kg and is 5m long, the platform is suspended by two vertical ropes
Lerok [7]

Answer:

R = 715.4 N

L =  166.6 N

Explanation:

ASSUME the painter is standing right of center

Let L be the left rope tension

Let R be the right rope tension

Sum moments about the left end to zero. Assume CCW moment is positive

R[5] - 20(9.8)[5/2] - 70(9.8)[5/2 + 2] = 0

R = 715.4 N

Sum moments about the right end to zero

20(9.8)[5/2] + 70(9.8)[5/2 - 2] - L[5] = 0

L =  166.6 N

We can verify by summing vertical forces

116.6 + 715.4 - (70 + 20)(9.8) ?=? 0

                                             0 = 0  checks

If the assumption about which side of center the paint stood is incorrect, the only difference would be the values of L and R would be swapped.

John pushes his bed to the left overcoming the force of friction. On the free-body diagram below, which force represents the fri
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

<em>Force B</em>

Explanation:

<u>Friction Force </u>

It's a force that appears when an object is tried to move on a rough surface. There are two cases: when the object is at rest, we have the friction static coefficient and when the object is already moving, we have the dynamic coefficient. The static coefficient is usually greater than the second because it's harder to overcome the friction when the object is at rest.

We are told that John pushes the bed to the left with enough force to overcome the force of friction. If the movement is intended to be to the left side, the friction force appears to the right, since it always opposes to the movement. Thus the force B is the one who represents the friction force in this situation
