Answer:

In physics, work is defined as a force causing the movement—or displacement—of an object. In the case of a constant force, work is the scalar product of the force acting on an object and the displacement caused by that force.

Answer: option D

Explanation: In physics, you say that a force is "doing work" when the force is acting on an object and causes a movement in the said object. This means that if you start pushing a wall, and the wall does not move, there is no work generated, indifferent of the amount of force applied.

Under this viewpoint, the right option is D.

"Work occurs when a force acts on an object and causes a displacement of that object."

An object of mass m = 5.0 kg hangs from a cord around a light pulley: The length of the cord between the oscillator and the pull

Answer:

$\mu=0.0049Kg/m$

Explanation:

When a standing wave is formed with six loops means the normal mode of the wave is n=6, the frequency of the normal mode is given by the expression:

$f_n=\frac{nv}{2L}$

Where $L$ is the length of the string and $v$ the velocity of propagation. Use this expression to find the value of $v$ .

$f_6=\frac{6v}{2L}\\(150)=\frac{6v}{2(2)} \\150=\frac{3v}{2} \\3v=150(2)\\ v=\frac{300}{3} \\v=100m/s$

The velocity of propagation is given by the expression:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }$

Where $\mu$ is the desirable variable of the problem, the linear mass density, and $T$ is the tension of the cord. The tension is equal to the weight of the mass hanging from the cord:

$T=W=mg=(5)(9.81)=49.05N$

With the value of the tension and the velocity you can find the mass density:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}$

$v^2=\frac{T}{\mu}\\ \mu=\frac{T}{v^2} =\frac{49.05}{(100)^2} =\frac{49.05}{10000} =0.0049Kg/m$

If an object force of 50 N is used to move an object a distance of 20 m, what distance must the object be moved if the input for

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

$\ d_{out} = 100 \ m.$

Explanation:

Given data:

$F_{in} = 50 \ \rm N$

$F_{out} = 10 \ \rm N$

$d_{in} = 20 \ m$

Let the distance traveled by the object in the second case be $d_{out}.$

In the given problem, work done by the forces are same in both the cases.

Thus,

$W_{in} = W_{out}$

$F_{in}.d_{in} = F_{out}.d_{out}$

$\Rightarrow \ d_{out} = \frac{F_{in}.d_{in}}{F_{out}}$

$\ d_{out} = \frac{50 \times 20}{10}$

$\ d_{out} = 100 \ m.$

Distance measurements based on the speed of light; used for objects in space

Vika [28.1K]

Answer : Yes, distance measurements based on the speed of light used for objects in space.

Explanation : A light year is measurement of distance that light travel in a one year.

In a one year light travels 9460000000000 kilometer.

We know that, speed of light is $3\times10^{8}\ m/s$

and time is 31536000 seconds in 1 year

so, distance = speed of light X time

Now, the light year is $9.4608\times10^{15} meter$

Example : The nearest star to earth is about 4.3 light year away.

Answer:

The width of the central bright fringe on the screen is observed to be unchanged is $4.48*10^{-6}m$

Explanation:

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to interference from two sources. Destructive interference produces the dark fringes. Dark fringes in the diffraction pattern of a single slit are found at angles θ for which
