Answer:

Work = 2160 J

Explanation:

As per work energy theorem we know that work done is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the cyclist.

As the cyclist is initially moving at speed 8 m/s and after some time his speed changes to 10 m/s

So here we can say that

final kinetic energy - initial kinetic energy = work done

W = \frac{1}{2}m(v_f^2 - v_i^2)

now by plug in all values

W = \frac{1}{2}(120)(10^2 - 8^2)

W = 2160 J

so work done by cyclist will be 2160 J

W=∆KE

KE=1/2m∆v^2

=1/2*120*(10-8) ^2

Which of the following choices defines energy in scientific terms?
snow_tiger [21]
1) B. Energy is the ability to do work

2) C. Energy is conserved, it just goes from one form to another.

3) Work = Force x displacement
= 300 x 100 = 30,000 Joules

4) leaning a brick because no displacement is taking place.

5) They change the amount/strength or direction of the force needed.

6) Less force is needed and applied over a longer distance.

7) Heat is the flow of thermal energy from one object to another.

Are acceleration and mass proportional or inversely proportional values?
finlep [7]

Answer:

acceleration and mass are inversely proportional values

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

The MSDS for chloroform indicates that it is a clear liquid that has a pleasant smell and substantial vapor pressure. People sho
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

The correct option is the third option

Explanation:

Firstly, it must be noted that chemicals/reagents that are sensitive to sunlight are stored in dark/amber container in the laboratory. Hence, the chloroform can only be found in an amber/dark bottle.

Also, reagents/chemicals that release poisonous/offensive gases are handled in the fume cupboard in the laboratory. Thus, If Malik is going to pour the chloroform, he should pour it in a fume cupboard to avoid inhaling it because of the toxicity of it's vapor.

From the above explanation, it can be deduced that <u>Malik should locate the chloroform stored in a dark container in chemical storage and should take it to the fume hood to pour</u>.
