This problem is getting you used to the definition of 'work' = (force) x (distance).

It's hard to really imagine, but technically, when an object moves horizontally,
no work is done, because there's no lifting against the force of gravity.

Another way to look at it:  The potential energy of the object never changes,
because its height never changes, so no energy ever goes into it ot gets
taken out of it.

Also, if the object moves at a constant speed, then it never accelerated,
and that means that no force ever acted on it.

So technically, when an object moves horizontally at a constant speed,
the work done on it is zero.

A uniform meter stick (with a length of 1.00 meter) has a mass of 108 g. It is supported at its midpoint by a vertical rigid blu
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:4

Explanation:

Given

m_1=21\ gm

m_2=27\ gm

Mass of stick is m=108\ gm

Let T be the tension in the red string

Now if the red string is cut , suppose T is the tension in the blue rod immediately after cut

Therefore

T=m_1g+m_2g

T=(0.021+0.027)\times 10

T=0.48\ N

A sample contains 16 g of a radioactive isotope. how much radioactive
mafiozo [28]

After one half-life, 8 g of radioactive isotope will remain in the sample.

<h3>What is radioactivity?</h3>

The act of producing radiation spontaneously is known as radioactivity. This is accomplished by an unstable atomic nucleus that want to give up some energy in order to move to a more stable form.

The following formula is used to compute the number of half lives elapsed:

\rm N=\frac{N_0}{2^n} \\\\ N=\frac{16}{2} \\\\ N= 8 \ gram

Hence,8 gram of radioactive isotope remains in the sample after 1 half-life.
