calculate the work done in kilo joules in lifting a mass of 20kg at steady velocity through a vertical height of 20m
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf Work\ done = 4 kJ}

Explanation:

Since work done is in the form of potential energy, we will use the formula of potential energy here.

We know that,

<h3>P.E. = mgh </h3>

Where,

m = mass = 20 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²

h = vertical height = 20 m

So,

<h3>Work done = mgh</h3>

Work done = (20)(10)(20)

Work done = 4000 joules

Work done = 4 kJ

with respect to air the refractive index of ice is 1.31 and that of rock salt is 1.54 calculate the refractive index of rock sal
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

1.17

Explanation:

Given that,

The refractive index of ice wrt air = 1.31

The refractive index of rock salt wrt air = 1.54

We need to find the refractive index of rock salt with respect to ice.

We know that,

refractive index = (speed of light in air or vaccum)/( speed of light in that medium)

So,

The speed of light in ice = c/(1.31)

The speed of light in rock salt = c/(1.54)

So, the refractive index of rock salt with respect to ice​ is :

\mu=\dfrac{1.54}{1.31}\\\\=1.17

So, the required refractive index of rock salt wrt ice is 1.17.

which would be a better predictor of increase in force of contraction, change in semg amplitude of spikes or change in semg freq
zaharov [31]

The better predictor of increase in force of contraction, change in semg amplitude of spikes.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

A force in physics is an effect that has the power to alter an object's motion. An object with mass can change its velocity, or accelerate, as a result of a force. An obvious way to describe force is as a push or a pull. A force is a vector quantity since it has both magnitude and direction.

Given that in the question the  better predictor of increase in force of contraction, change in semg amplitude of spikes or change in semg frequency of spikes.

The better predictor of increase in force of contraction, change in semg amplitude of spikes.

A cylindrical barrel is completely full of water and sealed at the top except for a narrow tube extending vertically through the
astraxan [27]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to pressure as a unit that measures the force applied in a specific area as well as pressure as a measurement of the density of the liquid to which it is subjected, its depth and the respective gravity.

The two definitions of pressure can be enclosed under the following equations

P = \frac{F}{A}

Where

F= Force

A = Area

P = \rho gh

Where,

\rho = Density

g = Gravity

h = Height

Our values are given as,

d = 0.8m \rightarrow r = 0.4m

A = \pi r^2 = \pi * 0.4^2 = 0.503m^2

If we make a comparison between the lid and the tube, the diameter of the tube becomes negligible.

Matching the two previous expressions we have to

\frac{F}{A} = \rho g h

Re-arrange to find h

h = \frac{F}{A\rho g}

h = \frac{390}{(0.503)(1000)(9.8)}

h = 0.079m

h = 7.9cm

Therefore the height of water in the tube is 7.9cm

The speedometer in a car does not measure the cars velocity because the velocity is a...
OLEGan [10]
...because velocity is a vector quantity, which means that it includes both the magnitude and the direction of motion. 

The speedometer only measures the speed of the car and not its velocity. Speed is a scalar quantity, which means that it only indicates magnitude and not direction of the motion. Thus, the speedometer only shows the distance covered by the car with time (speed), but it does not indicate if the car is moving forward, backward, left or right.
