What determines whether or not work is being done?

Physics
1 answer:
FromTheMoon [43]3 years ago
3 0

C is the correct answer but the best possible answer is that work is done when a force is imposed on an object and the object moves in the same direction as the force

Hope this helps!

What causes clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar
just olya [345]
<h2>Answer: Gravitational attraction </h2>

Gravity force causes the clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar. As this <u>attraction force</u> is responsible for gathering and compressing the existing elements in the cloud of gas and dust, heating them during this process.

Then, when the amount of material accumulated by gravitational contraction is large enough, and the temperature and pressure reached high enough, the <u>nuclear fusion</u> process will begin.

To understand it better: The hydrogen nuclei will begin to fuse, generating helium nuclei in the process and releasing huge amounts of energy.

It should be noted that the protostars radiate half of the energy contributed by the gravitational collapse and the other half is invested in heating its core.

A steel ball and a wooden ball of the same diameter are released together from the top of a tower. In the absence of air resista
ella [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The steel ball and the wooden ball do not have the same force acting on them because their masses are different. But, they have the same acceleration which is the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s².

Using the equation of motion under freefall, s = ut +1/2gt². Since u = 0,

s = 1/2gt² ⇒ t = √(2s/g)

Since. s = height is the same for both objects, they land at the same time neglecting air resistance.

Which of these IS an example of balanced forces? A. a book on a shelf B. air rushing out of a balloon C. rolling over and fallin
babunello [35]

Forces are balanced when net force on the object is zero or the sum of all force on the object is zero.

For book kept on a shelf, the weight of the book in down direction is balanced by the normal force on the book by the shelf. hence the book kept on a shelf is an example of balanced force.

In case of air rushing out of balloon , the balloon experience a net force by the air coming out of it.

rolling over and falling off the bed , the object falls under gravity force.

a car speeding up accelerates. since it accelerates , it has net force on it.

A "moving sidewalk" in an airport terminal moves at 1.0 m/s and is 35.0 m long. If a woman steps on at one end and walks at 1.5
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

a.14 s

b.70 s

Explanation:

a.Let the sidewalk moving in positive x- direction.

Speed  of sidewalk relative to ground=v_s=1m/s

Speed of women relative to sidewalk=v=1.5m/s

The speed of women relative to the ground

v_w=v_s+v=1+1.5=2.5m/s

Distance=35 m

Time=\frac{distance}{speed}

Using the formula

Time taken by women to reach the opposite end if she walks in the same direction the sidewalk is moving=\frac{35}{v_w}=\frac{35}{2.5}=14s

b.If she gets on at the end opposite the end in part (a)

Then, we take displacement negative.

Speed  of sidewalk relative to ground=v_s=1m/s

Speed of women relative to sidewalk=v=-1.5 m/s

The speed of women relative to the ground=v_w=v_s+v=1-1.5=-0.5m/s

Time=\frac{-35}{-0.5}=70 s

Hence, the women takes 70 s to reach the opposite end if she walks in the opposite direction the sidewalk is moving.
