The amount of WORK done is determined by 2 factors.

Explanation :

Work is done when a force is applied to create a displacement on an object.

Thus, the work done depends on the two factors i.e.

(1) Applied force (F)

(2) Distance or displacement (d)

Mathematically, work done is $W= F.s$

It also depends on the angle between the force and the displacement.

$W=Fs\ cos\ \theta$

For example,

A person carries a weight of 20 kg and lifts it on his head 1.5 m above the surface. So, the work done by him on the luggage will be:

$W= F\times s$

$W=m\times g \times s$

$W=20\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 1.5\ m$

So, $W=294\ Joules$

Hence, the work done by him on the luggage is 294 Joules.

The density of 2 kilograms of iron on Earth's surface is

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

B. The same on the moon.

Explanation:

The density of an object is the ratio of the mass contained by the object to the volume occupied by that mass.

$Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}$

When the object is taken from the earth to anywhere in the universe, its mass remains constant. The dimensions of the object and hence its volume also remains constant anywhere in the universe.

Therefore, the density of the object will also remain the same as it depends upon the mass and the volume of the object.

So, the correct option is:

Identify the number of neutrons in one atom of sulfur with an isotopic mass number of 34 amu.

Musya8 [376]

So, using the periodic table of elements, we know that the atomic number of sulfur is 16, which stands for the number of protons/electrons in the atom. Since the mass number, in this case is 34, is the sum of protons and neutrons, all we have to do is subtract 16 from 34, which will give us 18, the number of neutrons for this isotope of sulfur. :)

$GM_ST^2=4 \pi ^2R^3\Rightarrow R= \sqrt[3]{ \frac{GM_ST^2}{4 \pi ^2} }\\\\\\R= \sqrt[3]{ \frac{6.67\cdot 10^{-11} \frac{m^3}{kg\cdot s^2}\cdot2.0\cdot 10^{30}kg( 9.29\cdot 10^8s)^2}{4\cdot 3.14^2} } \approx 1.42\cdot 10^{12}m$
