How much work is done in holding a 15 N sack of potatoes while waiting in line at the

Physics
1 answer:
marta [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: 2700 Joules

Explanation:

Given variables are:

Workdone (w) = ?

Weight of sack (w) = 15N

Time taken (t) = 3 minutes

The standard unit of time is seconds, so convert 3 minutes to seconds

(If 1 minute = 60 seconds

3 minutes = 3 x 60 = 180 seconds)

Recall that work is done is when force is applied on an object over a distance

i.e Workdone = force x distance.

(However, the force acting on the sack of potatoes is weight)

Hence, workdone = weight x time

w = 15N x 180 seconds

w = 2700 J

thus, 2700 joules of work was done.

Two resistors, R1=3.85 Ω and R2=6.47 Ω , are connected in series to a battery with an EMF of 24.0 V and negligible internal resi
Bond [772]

Answer:

(a) 2.33 A

(b) 15.075 V

Explanation:

From the question,

The total resistance (Rt) = R1+R2 = 3.85+6.47

R(t) = 10.32 ohms.

Applying ohm's law,

V = IR(t)..........equation 1

Where V = Emf of the battery, I = current flowing through the circuit, R(t) = combined resistance of both resistors.

Note: Since both resistors are connected in series, the current flowing through them is the same.

Therefore,

I = V/R(t)............. Equation 2

Given: V = 24 V, R(t) = 10.32 ohms

Substitute these values into equation 2

I = 24/10.32

I = 2.33 A.

Hence the current through R1 = 2.33 A.

V2 = IR2.............. Equation 3

V2 = 2.33(6.47)

V2 = 15.075 V

Which of the following statements most accurately differentiates potential and kinetic energy? A. Any object that has no motion
Aleks [24]

Answer:

B. Any object that has motion has potential energy, wow any object not in motion light with the potential to do work and kinetic.

Explanation:

Potential Energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, stresses within itself, electric charge, and other factors. Kinetic Energy is energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.
