Answer:

W = 650 [kJ]

Explanation:

The definition of work is denoted by the product of force by the distance traveled by the body, this distance traveled corresponds to the direction of the force.

In this case we have:

d = distance = 2.6[km] = 2600 [m]

F = force = 250 [N]

W = F*d = 250 * 2600 = 650000 [J] or 650 [kJ]

Aleksandr [31]

The amount of work done by two boys who apply 200 N of force in an unsuccessful attempt to move a stalled car is 0.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation: </u>

Work done is the measure of work done by someone to push an object from its present position. We can also define work done as the amount of forces needed to move an object from its present position to another position. So the amount of work done is directly proportionate to the product of forces acting on the object and the displacement of the object.

$\text { Work done }=\text { Force } \times \text { displacement }$

So in this present case, as the two boys have done an unsuccessful attempts to push a stalled car so that means the displacement of the car is zero as there is no change in the position of the car. But they have applied a force of 200 N each. So the amount of work done will be

$\text { Work done }=200 \mathrm{N} \times 0=0$

Thus, the amount of work done by two boys will be zero due to their unsuccessful attempt to move a stalled car.

Elements that easily transmit electricity and heat display the property known as conductivity.

Musya8 [376]

True.

Conductivity is the ability to transmit heat, electricity or sound. Conductivity is a physical property.

A physical property is one which can be measured or observed without changing the composition or identity of a the substance.

Conductivity is a physical property because the composition of the substance does not change.

A copper wire is still a copper wire when it is conducting electricity. Like wise, an aluminum rod is still an aluminum rod when heated. It is conducting heat but the heat does not change it, it is still an aluminum rod during the whole process.

A sky diver, with parachute unopened, falls 625 m in 15.0 s. Then she opens her parachute and falls another 362 m in 139 s. What

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

$v_{avg} = 6.41 m/s$

Explanation:

Average velocity is defined as the ratio of total displacement of the motion and total time taken in that motion

here we know that initially the sky diver drops without opening parachute by total displacement 625 m

then she open her parachute and drop another 362 m

so first it took time t = 15 s to drop without open parachute

then it took t = 139 s to drop next displacement

so here total displacement is given as

$d = 625 m + 362 m$

total time is given as

$t = 15 s + 139 s$

so average velocity is given as

$v_{avg} = \frac{625 + 362}{15 + 139}$

$v_{avg} = 6.41 m/s$

Four solid plastic cylinders all have radius 2.41 cm and length 5.94 cm. Find the charge of each cylinder given the following ad

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Check explanation

Explanation:

QUICK NOTE: THE QUESTION IS NOT COMPLETE. Although it is not, we can make assumptions, since we only need values for the UNIFORM CHARGE DENSITY.

SO, LET US BEGIN;

To solve this question we are to use the equation (1) below;

Charge,Q = uniform charge density,p × Total area of the cylinder,A ------------------------------------------------------------------------(1).

From the question, we are given radius, R to be 2.41 cm and length, L to be 5.94 cm.

Step one: calculate for the total area of the cylinder, A.

Total area of the cylinder, A= area of the top surface + area of the buttom + area of the curved surface of the cylinder.

Hence, total area of the cylinder,A is;

==> πR^2 + πR^2 + 2πRL. -------------------------------------------------------------------------(2).

Then, total area of the cylinder,A is;

==> (L + R)2πR.

Step two: find the charge of each cylinder.

===> For the first cylinder; we have the uniform charge density to be 35 nC/m^2.

Therefore, the combination of equation (1) and (3) gives;

Charge Q= p × (L + R)2πR...----------------------------(4)

Hence, Q= 35 × [(5.94 + 2.41) 2× 3.143 × 5.94].= 10912.615 coulumb.

====> For the second cylinder, we have a uniform charge density of 50 nC/m^2.

Using equation (4), charge,Q= 15,589.45 Coulumb

=====> For THE third cylinder, the uniform charge density is 600, we make use of equation (4);

Charge,Q= 600×311.789.

Charge,Q= 187,073.4 coulumb.

====> For THE fourth cylinder, the uniform charge density is 750 nC/m^2.., we make use of equation (4);

Charge,Q= 233,841.75 coulumb.
