<h3>Answer:</h3>

100 Joules

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The question is testing on how to calculate work done;

We are given;

Mass of an object is 5 kg
Distance moved is 2 m

We are required to calculate the amount of work done.

How do we calculate work done?

Work done is the product of force and distance.
Therefore without distance covered no work is done.
Work done = Force × distance
Additionally, it is measured in joules or Nm

In this case;

Force = mass × 10 N/kg

= 5 kg × 10 N/kg

= 50 N

Therefore;

work done = 50 N × 2 m

= 100 Joules

Thus, the work done in lifting the object is 100 Joules

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply concept of impulse

Impulse = Force x time

= Force x 2 x 10⁻³ N.s

impulse = change in momentum

change in momentum

= .4 x 4 - ( - .4 x 2 )

= 2.4

Force x 2 x 10⁻³ = 2.4

Force = 2.4 / 2 x 10⁻³

= 1.2 x 10³ N .

average magnitude of the force exerted by floor = 1.2 x 10³ N

If R be reaction force by earth

R - mg = 1.2 x 10³

R = 1.2 x 10³ + mg

= 1200 + .4 x 9.8

= 1200 +3.92

= 1203 .92 N .

A flywheel with radius of 0.300 m starts from rest and accelerates with a constant angular acceleration of 0.400 rad/s2.For a po

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

$0.12\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

The radius of a flywheel, r = 0.3 m

Angular acceleration of a flywheel, $\alpha =0.4\ rad/s^2$

We need to find the magnitude of the tangential acceleration after 2.00 s of acceleration.

The relation between the tangential and angular acceleration is given by :

$a_t=r\alpha \\\\a_t=0.3\times 0.4\\\\a_t=0.12\ m/s^2$

So, the required magnitude of tangential acceleration is $0.12\ m/s^2$ .

We intend to observe two distant equal brightness stars whose angular separation is 50.0 × 10-7 rad. Assuming a mean wavelength

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

13.4cm

Explanation:

According to Rayleigh’s criterion the angular resolution to distinguish two objects is given by:

$\theta=1.22\frac{\lambda}{b}$

θ = 50.0*10^-7 rad

λ: wavelength of the light = 550nm

b = diameter of the objective

By doing b the subject of the formula and replacing the values of the angle and wavelength you obtain:

$b=1.22\frac{\lambda}{\theta}=1.22\frac{550*10^{-9}m}{50.0*10^{-7}rad}=0.134m=13.4cm$

hence, the smallest diameter objective lens is 13.4cm

Answer:

D) 735 J(oules)

Explanation:

Work is defined as force * distance

Force is defined as mass * acceleration

Given a mass of 15 kg and a gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/s² since the box is being lifted up, the force being applied to the box is 15 kg * 9.8 m/s² = 147 N

Since the distance is 5 meters, the work done is 147 N * 5 m = 735 N/m = 735 J, making D the correct answer.
