To lift a load of 100 kg a distance of 1 m an effort of 25 kg must be applied over an inclined plane of length 4 m. What must be

done to lift the load 2 m, using the same effort?
A) Use an inclined plane of length 8 m.

B) Use an inclined plane of length 2 m.

C) Use an inclined plane of length 10 m.

D) Use an inclined plane of length 16 m.

Work = force * distance.
We must produce twice as much energy as we are lifting the weight twice as high.
But we are not increasing the force so we must increase the length of the ramp ( distance ) instead.
The new length will be twice as great as the previous length.
So 8 metres is required.

25 kg * 8 m = work = 100 kg * 2 m

Even when shut down after a period of normal use, a large commercial nuclear reactor transfers thermal energy at the rate of 150

Sever21 [200]

Answer: $2.89\approx 2.9^{\circ}C/s$

Explanation:

Given

$Power\left ( P\right )=150 MW$

mass of core $\left ( m\right )=1.60\times 10^5 kg$

Average specific heat $\left ( C\right )=0.3349 KJ/kg^{\circ}C$

And rate of increase of temperature = $\frac{\mathrm{d}T}{\mathrm{d} t}$

Now

P= $mc\frac{\mathrm{d}T}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$150\times 10^6=1.60\times 10^5\times 0.3349\times \frac{\mathrm{d}T}{\mathrm{d} t}$

Thus $\frac{\mathrm{d}T}{\mathrm{d} t}=[tex]\frac{1.60\times 10^5\times 0.3349}{150\times 10^6}$

$\frac{\mathrm{d}T}{\mathrm{d} t}=2.89\approx 2.9^{\circ}C/s$

If you were to walk with a speed if 2m/s for 2 hours how far would you travel

olga nikolaevna [1]

So simply it to 120m/m for 120 minutes. So then you multiply 120x120 and that equals 14,400

A 6 m long, uniform ladder leans against a frictionless wall and makes an angle of 74.3 ◦ with the floor. The ladder has a mass

olganol [36]

Answer: µ=0.205

Explanation:

The horizontal forces acting on the ladder are the friction(f) at the floor and the normal force (Fw) at the wall. For horizontal equilibrium,

f=Fw

The sum of the moments about the base of the ladder Is 0

ΣM = 0 = Fw*L*sin74.3º - (25.8kg*(L/2) + 67.08kg*0.82L)*cos74.3º*9.8m/s²

Note that it doesn't matter WHAT the length of the ladder is -- it cancels.

Solve this for Fw.

0= 0.9637FwL - (67.91L)2.652

Fw=180.1/0.9637

Fw=186.87N

f=186.81N

Since Fw=f

We know Fw, so we know f.

But f = µ*Fn

where Fn is the normal force at the floor --

Fn = (25.8 + 67.08)kg * 9.8m/s² =

910.22N

so

µ = f / Fn

186.81/910.22

µ= 0.205

Mike walks 200 km in 6 hours.he then walks another 100km in 4 hours .what is his average speed?

kolbaska11 [484]

Average speed is defined as the ratio of total distance covered in total given time

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

here we know that total distance that man moved is

$d_1 = 200 km$

$d_2 = 100 km$

so total distance is

$d = d_1 + d_2$

$d = 200 km + 100 km$

$d = 300 km$

now here total time of the motion is

$t_1 = 6 hours$

$t_2 = 4 hours$

total time will be given as

$t = t_1 + t_2$

$t = 6 + 4 = 10 hours$

now by above formula

$v_{avg} = \frac{300}{10}$

$v_{avg} = 30 km/h$

so his average speed is 30 km/h

What is the frictional force between a box and the floor it is being pulled across if, the kinetic coefficient of friction is 0.

Artyom0805 [142]

If the pulling is done parallel to the floor with constant velocity, then the box is in equilibrium. In particular, the weight and normal force cancel, so that

<em>n</em> = 38 N

The friction force is proportional to the normal force by a factor of 0.27, so that

<em>f</em> = 0.27 (38 N) ≈ 10.3 N

and so the answer is D.
