Answer:

0 joules is the work being done.

Explanation:

Work is defined as the force that is applied on a body to move it from one point to another. When a force is applied, an energy transfer occurs. Then it can be said that work is energy in motion.

When a net force is applied to the body or a system and this produces displacement, then that force is said to perform mechanical work. This work can be positive if the system gains energy or negative if the system loses energy.

In the International System of Units, work is measured in Joule. Joule is equivalent to Newton per meter.

The work is equal to the product of the force by the distance and by the cosine of the angle that exists between the direction of the force and the direction that travels the point or the object that moves.  

In this case, the angle between the force and the displacement is 90 degrees. This is because the normal force in the tray, that is to say a force vertically upwards. And the displacement is in the horizontal direction. Then the cosine of 90 degrees will have a value of zero. So when performing the multiplication between force, distance and the cosine of the angle that exists between the direction of the force and the direction that travels the point or the object that moves, the work will have a value of zero.

This means that no work is done.

In physical terms, a force does work if it moves an object in the direction the force is pointing towards.

In your example, the force is pushing a tray up. But the force doesn't move the tray any further up. It remains at the same height. 

The is no force done by this force.

An electron with a speed of 0.95c is emitted by a supernova, where cc is the speed of light. What is the magnitude of the moment
krok68 [10]

Answer:

2.59×10¯²² Kgm/s

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Velocity of electron = 0.95c

Momentum =?

Next, we shall determine the velocity of the electron. This can be obtained as follow:

Velocity of electron = 0.95c

Velocity of Light (c) = 3×10⁸ m/s

Velocity of electron = 0.95c

Velocity of electron = 0.95 × 3×10⁸

Velocity of electron = 2.85×10⁸ m/s

Finally, we shall determine the mometum of the electron.

Momentum is simply defined as the product of mass and velocity. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Momentum = mass x Velocity

Thus, with the above formula, we calculate the momentum of the electron as follow:

Mass of electron = 9.1×10¯³¹ Kg

Velocity of electron = 2.85×10⁸ m/s

Momentum of electron =?

Momentum = mass x Velocity

Momentum = 9.1×10¯³¹ × 2.85×10⁸

Momentum = 2.59×10¯²² Kgm/s

Therefore, the momentum of the electron is 2.59×10¯²² Kgm/s

14. A rocket is shot up into the air and then comes back down and hits the ground 9.2 second later.
sineoko [7]

Answer:

105.8 m

46 m/s

Explanation:

From the time the rocket is launched to the time it reaches its maximum height:

v = 0 m/s

a = -10 m/s²

t = 9.2 s / 2 = 4.6 s

Find: Δy and v₀

Δy = vt − ½ at²

Δy = (0 m/s) (4.6 s) − ½ (-10 m/s²) (4.6 s)²

Δy = 105.8 m

v = at + v₀

0 m/s = (-10 m/s²) (4.6 s) + v₀

v₀ = 46 m/s

A student attempted to measure the specific latent heat of vaporisation of water.
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The latent heat of vaporization of water is 2.4 kJ/g

Explanation:

The given readings are;

The first (mass) balance reading (of the water) in grams, m₁ = 581 g

The second (mass) balance reading (of the water) in grams, m₂ = 526 g

The first joulemeter reading in kilojoules (kJ), Q₁ = 195 kJ

The second joulemeter reading in kilojoules (kJ), Q₂ = 327 kJ

The latent heat of vaporization = The heat required to evaporate a given mass water at constant temperature

Based on the measurements, we have;

The latent heat of vaporization = ΔQ/Δm

∴ The latent heat of vaporization of water = (327 kJ - 195 kJ)/(581 g - 526 g) = 2.4 kJ/g

The latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.4 kJ/g
