Answer:

NO

Explanation:

As we know by work energy theorem that work done by all forces is given by change in kinetic energy of the system

it is given as

W_{net} = KE_f - KE_i

so here since the kinetic energy is constant for the system

so here change in kinetic energy is zero

hence the net work done must be zero

Here we know that

v_i = v_f

so here we can say that

\Delta KE = 0

so no work is required to move the books at constant speed from one position to other position

Yes because it has been moved from its original point. if had stayed inone spot or had been dropped no work would have been done.

konstantin123 [22]

Let the distance between points a and b = d

For the women starting from a her velocity be V_1 and for the women starting from b her velocity be V_2

Let the rising time of sun = x AM

We have  V_1 = \frac{d}{12+4-x}

and we also have  V_2 = \frac{d}{12+9-x}

At they meet means, they both travel a combined distance of d

So we have   V_1*(12-x)+V_2*(12-x)=d

Substituting velocity values we will get

  \frac{d}{12+4-x}*(12-x)+\frac{d}{12+9-x}*(12-x)=d\\ \\ \frac{12-x}{12+4-x}+\frac{12-x}{12+9-x}=1\\ \\ \frac{12-x}{16-x}+\frac{12-x}{21-x}=1\\ \\ 252-21x-12x+x^2+192-12x-16x+x^2=336-16x-21x+x^2\\ \\ x^2-24x+108=0\\ \\ (x-6)(x-18)=0\\ \\

 x= 6 AM or 18 AM, but 18 AM is not possible,

Sun rise time is 6 AM

<h2>The force experienced is 8 x 10⁻¹⁸ N</h2>

Explanation:

When any charge moves into the magnetic field , it experiences the force

The force can be calculated by the relation F = q v B sinθ

here q is the charge and v is its velocity .

B is magnetic field strength and θ is the angle between field and velocity vectors .

Thus F = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 200 x 0.5 x  sin 30

=  8 x 10⁻¹⁸ N

When a plant is entering the calvin cycle of photosythesis______.
Korolek [52]
The Calvin cycle<span> refers to the light-independent reactions in photosynthesis that take place in three key steps. Although the </span>Calvin Cycle<span> is not directly dependent on light, it is indirectly dependent on light since the necessary energy carriers (ATP and NADPH) are products of light-dependent reactions.

So basically it indirectly needs the light, even it's called light-independant reaction.

So the answer is the last one.</span>

The graph is tied to the reading

I. Positive acceleration increases velocity. Negative acceleration decreases velocity. runner A sped up until the finish line and then slowed to a stop.

ii. Zero a acceleration implies a constant, unchanging velocity not a zero velocity. runner B achieved some velocity prior to 8s and is moving and must slow down to reach a stop.

iii. None. No aspects of this reasoning are correct. Everything she says is wrong. See iv for what/why.

iv. The sign on acceleration denotes the direction of *change in velocity* not change in direction. The sign on velocity can denote change in direction but only “forward” or “reverse” along a particular path. Cardinal direction is not indicated, generally, by the sign on velocity. It may correspond to North/South situationally but it is not an built-in feature of velocity and its sign. For example, if you are traveling with positive velocity and turn left to continue your journey you still have a positive velocity in the new direction. In fact, if you turn left again, traveling in the opposite direction as the one you started with your velocity would still be positive… in the new direction. The velocity relative to original direction could be said to be negative but that would be a confusing way to describe a journey. Maybe if you stopped the vehicle and moved in reverse, you could meaningfully say velocity was negative.
