Answer:

c. is negative

Explanation:

When the magnitude of force is multiplied with the force vector's projection along the direction of the vector of displacement which is negative as it is a resistive force we get the work done.

As the wind is acting in opposite direction of the force which is being applied by the plane the work done will be negative. Also, the net work will be the sum of many smaller negative quantities.

Hence, the answer here is negative.

A mountain-climber friend with a mass of 74 kg ponders the idea of attaching a helium-filled balloon to himself to effectively r
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

V=16.65 m^3

Explanation:

The volume of the balloon can be find compared the force in each cases so:

reduce 25% from 74kg

R=\frac{25}{100}*74kg=18.5kg

So the net force uproad on the balloon is

F_b=18.5kg*g

Now the density of the both gases air and helium are different however the volume is the same change offcorss the mass so:

P_h=\frac{m}{V}=0.179 kg/m^3

P_A=1.29 kg/m^3

F_b=F_A-F_H

F_b=m_a*g-m_h*g

m=P/V

18.5kg*g=(1.29kg/m^3-0.179kg/m^3*)V*g

V=\frac{18.5kg}{(1.29-0.179)kg/m^3}

V=16.65 m^3

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

500kg

A pendulum takes 6.0 seconds to swing through 5 complete cycles. What is the period of the pendulum?
photoshop1234 [79]
When you look at this, you might not be sure which way to divide ...
Should you divide  6 by 5  or  5 by 6 ?

Here's a case where you can use your units to decide.

The question wants to know the 'period'.  That's a length of time,
so the answer needs to have units of time.

If you divide 'cycles' be 'time', you'll get  'cycles/second'.
That's Hz.  It's frequency, not time.

If you divide 'time' by 'cycles', you'll get 'seconds/cycle'.
That's time, and it's exactly the definition of 'period'.

            Period  =  (6 seconds) / (5 cycles)

                         =    (6 / 5)  seconds/cycle

                         =     1.2  seconds
