Let’s say a small person with a mass of 50 kg walks up two flights of stairs. A heavy person with a mass of 105 kg walks up the

same stairs. Who did more work and why?
Please help me, I'm very confused

Answer:

Heavier person

Explanation:

Work = force × distance.  In this case, force = weight and distance = height of the stairs.  For both people, the height of the stairs is the same.  Since the heavier person has more weight, they did more work.

A student drops an object out the window of the top floor of a high-rise dormitory.
seropon [69]

-- The acceleration due to gravity is 32.2 ft/sec² .  That  means that the
speed of a falling object increases by an additional 32.2 ft/sec every second.

-- If dropped from "rest" (zero initial speed), then after falling for 4 seconds,
the object's speed is (4.0) x (32.2) = <em>128.8 ft/sec</em>.

-- 128.8 ft/sec = <em>87.8 miles per hour</em>

Now we can switch over to the metric system, where the acceleration
due to gravity is typically rounded to 9.8 meters/sec² .

-- Distance = (1/2) x (acceleration) x (time)²

       D = (1/2) (9.8) x (4)² =<em>  78.4 meters</em>

-- At 32 floors per 100 meters,  78.4 meters = dropped from the <em>25th floor</em>.


The 5 points are certainly appreciated, but I do wish they were Celsius points.

Stop to Think 7.1 Which one is greater- the attraction of the Earth on 1 kg lead or the attraction of 1 kg of led
Daniel [21]

Answer:

1 kg lead to earth is greater attraction as mass of earth is much more than 1kg lead.

Explanation:

Objects with more mass have more gravity. Gravity also gets weaker with distance. So, the closer objects are to each other, the stronger their gravitational pull is. Earth's gravity comes from all its mass

Name and describe the three types of binary systems.
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer and Explanation:

The binary system is a star system about half of the star are the part of the binary system

The important binary systems are

  • Visual binary : in visual binary system the two stars resolved visually with nay sort of optical device the orbit of binary orbit is very large about center of mass.
  • Spectroscopic binary : in this binary system the stars are detected by close analysis of light and after detection it is found that there are two seller spectrum present instead of one.
  • Eclipsing binary : eclipsing binary system is a several types of variable stars this binary system is very important in astrophysics
