The amount of WORK done is determined by 2 factors.

RUDIKE [14]2 years ago

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.

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The value of current generated would increase.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic induction is the process by which an electromotive force is induced due to a variation of magnetic field.

The induced current is directly proportional to rate at which the coil cuts the magnetic field. Using more powerful battery in the experiment would increase the rate at the the coil cuts the magnetic field, therefore increasing the rate of variation in the magnetic field. This effect would cause a greater deflection on the galvanometer's scale, showing an increase in the current generated.

This experiment proves that an alternating current can be produced from magnetic field.

A bug walking on the circular rim of a flower

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Given parameters;

Time taken to complete a lap = 8.667s

Radius of flower = 13.9cm

convert to SI unit of m, 100cm = 1m

13.9cm gives $\frac{13.9}{100}$ = 0.139m

Unknown = speed

To solve this problem, we need to first find the circumference of the flower.

Circumference of the circular flower = 2 π r

where r is the radius of the flower;

Circumference = 2 x 3.142 x 0.139 = 0.87m

Now to find the how fast the bug is travelling,

Speed = $\frac{distance}{time}$

Since the bug covered 1 lap, the distance is 0.87m

Now input the parameters and solve for speed;

Speed = $\frac{0.87}{8.667}$ = 0.1m/s

The bug is travelling at a speed of 0.1m/s

the deepest point in the sea is 100m below sea level .what arr the water pressure at this depth and the total pressure due to wa

fomenos

The water pressure at this depth and the total pressure due to water and atmosphere are 10.3 x 10⁵ Pa and 11.31× 10⁵ Pa.

<h3>What is pressure?</h3>

The pressure is the amount of force applied per unit area.

Atmospheric pressure, Patm =1.01×10⁵ Pa

Density of water, ρ=1030 kg/m³

Depth, h=100 m

Pressure =ρgh

P = 1030×10×100

P = 10.3 x 10⁵ Pa.

Total pressure, P=Po +ρgh

P=1.01×10⁵ + 1030×10×100

P=11.31× 10⁵ Pa

Hence, total pressure is 11.31× 10⁵ Pa.

A ball is dropped from some height. It bounces off the floor and rebounds with a speed that is one-half the speed it had just be

Arada [10]

Answer:

The correct option is C

Explanation:

According to third equation of motion, v

+2ax

Here, u=0 m/s

a=−g and x=−h

Negative sign indicates downward direction. Displacement and acceleration both are downwards.

So,v=±

2(−g)(−h)

We take minus sign because it is downwards.

v=−

2gh

After bouncing. velocity becomes 80% of v, i.e.,

′

=+0.8

2gh

(positive sign because the direction of ball has reversed after bouncing and is upwards.

Applying third equation of motion again, for u=v

′

, v=0 and a=−g

+2×a×x

Thus,

0=0.64(2gh)+2(−g)x

x=0.64h
