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.

How do modern scientist describe the make up of matter
lbvjy [14]

The matter is a collection or composition of extremely small particles called "Atoms".

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • The matter is anything that has mass and which utilizes space by having volume.
  • Modern scientists describe the makeup of matter as a collection of tiny substances called atoms.
  • Matter can either be in solid, liquid, or gaseous state and even appear in plasma form.
  • Matter can neither be created nor be destroyed but only transferred from one form to the other.
  • Atoms are composed protons, neutrons and electrons. The protons and neutrons are contained in the nucleus, while the electrons orbit around the nucleus of the atom.
  • Protons are positively charged, neutrons are neutral and electrons are negative.

Say that you are in a large room at temperature TC = 300 K. Someone gives you a pot of hot soup at a temperature of TH = 340 K.
lora16 [44]

Answer:

Explanation:

Heat energy given out by the soup

= C_v  x ( t₂ - t₁ )

= 33 x ( 340 - 300)

= 1320 J

This heat is given to Carnot engine . Efficiency of engine

= (340 - 300 ) / 340

= 40 / 340

2 / 17

This fraction of total heat given is converted into useable work by the engine.

A lamp that uses 100.0 watts of power requires a voltage of 210.0 volts. What is the resistance of the lamp?
alexandr402 [8]
Resistance = Voltage/Current
Wattage = Voltage * Current

<span> <span> </span> </span> That means the current drawn by the lamp is equal to 100 watts divided by 210 volts.

Resistance =\frac{210}{ \frac{100}{210} }
