Answer:

<em>Answer: Work equals force times distance. 3,000 J</em>

Explanation:

Work Done By A Force

When some force \vec F is applied and a displacement \vec r is achieved, the work done by the force is given by

W=\vec F \cdot \vec r

Note that the work is a scalar magnitude as the result of the dot-product of two vectors. If the force and the displacement are parallel, then the vectors can be replaced as its magnitudes F,x and the work is

W=F.x

The dot product becomes a simple arithmetic product, i.e force times distance.

Sara weighs 500 Nw and she climbs up a 6 meter set of stairs. She needs to lift her weight up, so the force is the weight and the distance is the height of the stairs, thus

W=500\ Nw.\ 6\ m=3,000\ Joule

Answer: Work equals force times distance. 3,000 J

g According to the Third Law, the action and reaction forces are exactly equal in magnitude and in opposite directions. So when
torisob [31]

Answer:

One way to look at this is to consider the forces acting on any point in a string.

For a very small portion of string F = M a must still hold. As M approaches zero the small portion of string would have to approach infinite acceleration if the net force on that portion of string were not zero.

One generally considers the net force acting on the center of mass of an object not  the individual forces acting on each infinitesimal mass composing

the object.

1. True or False: All sound happens through vibration.<br> A True<br> B False
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Sound is all about vibrations.

The source of a sound vibrates, bumping into nearby air molecules which in turn bump into their neighbor's, and so forth.

When a substance is poured from one container to another, its shape changes but its volume does not, what state of matter is the
lianna [129]

Answer: When a liquid substance is poured into a vessel, it takes the shape of the vessel, and, as long as the substance stays in the liquid state, it will remain inside the vessel. Furthermore, when a liquid is poured from one vessel to another, it retains its volume (as long as there is no vaporization or change in temperature) but not its shape.

Explanation: A solid has a definite shape and volume. A liquid has a definite volume, but takes the shape of its container. A gas lacks either a defined shape or volume. Plasma is similar to a gas in that its particles are very far apart, but a gas is electrically neutral and plasma has a charge.
