Answer:

(a) Yes, it is possible by raising the object to a greater height without acceleration.

Explanation:

The work-energy theorem states that work done on an object is equal to the change in kinetic energy, and change in kinetic energy requires a change in velocity.

If kinetic energy will not change, then velocity will not change, this means that there will be constant velocity and an object with a constant velocity is not accelerating.

If the object is not accelerating (without acceleration) and it remains at the same height (change in height = 0, and mgh = 0).

Thus, for work to be done on the object, without changing the kinetic energy of the object, the object must be raised to a greater height without acceleration.

Correct option is " (a) Yes, it is possible by raising the object to a greater height without acceleration".

If you doubled the load resistor in a Wheatstone bridge, the load current would not be half as much. Why not?

Fofino [41]

Doubling the size of a load resistor increases the load current. Increasing the load resistance, in turn the total circuit resistance is reduced. The load current would not be half as much since when you increase the size of load resistor then load current increases.

What is a non contact force that attracts all objects to the centre of the earth

beks73 [17]

Answer:

Gravity. The weight-force or weight of an object is the force because of Gravity, which acts on the object attracting it towards the centre of the earth.

How does the height from which you drop the ball relate to the height that the ball bounces back up?

Stels [109]

The higher you go the more potential energy there is, and the lower it is the more kinetic energy there is, so the more kinetic energy there is the higher the ball will bounce.

A 4 kg car with frictionless wheels is on a ramp that makes a 25° angle with the horizontal. The car is connected to a 1 kg mass

stellarik [79]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

W₁ = (4 kg)*(9.8 m/s²) = 39.2 N
W₂ = (1 kg)*(9.8 m/s²) = 9.8 N

The normal reaction on the 4-kg mass is
N = (39.2 N)*cos(25°) = 35.5273 N
The force acting down the inclined plane due to the weight is
F = (39.2 N)*sin(25°) = 16.5666 N

The net force that accelerates the 4-kg mass at a m/²s down the plane is
F - W₂ = (4 kg)*(a m/s²)
4a = 16.5666 - 9.8
a = 1.6917 m/s²

Answer: 1.69 m/s² (nearest hundredth)
