m = Mass of the refrigerator to be moved to third floor = 136 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity by earth on the refrigerator being moved = 9.8 m/s²

h = Height to which the refrigerator is moved = 8 m

W = Work done in lifting the object

Work done in lifting the object is same as the gravitational potential energy gained by the refrigerator. hence

Work done = Gravitation potential energy of refrigerator

W = m g h

inserting the values

W = (136) (9.8) (8)

W = 10662.4 J

At the same temperature, two wires made of pure copper have different resistances. The same voltage is applied at the ends of ea

Semmy [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

As we know that the resistance of the wire is directly proportional to the length of wire and inversely proportional to the area of crossection of the wire.

As the material is copper for both the wires so the resistivity is same and the voltage is also same. As their resistance is different it means either length is different or the area of crossection is different.

For the following elementary reaction 2br• -> br2-. The rate of consumption of the reaction and the rate of formation of prod

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer: $-\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{d[Br^.]}{dt}=+\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}$

Explanation:

Rate of a reaction is defined as the rate of change of concentration per unit time.

Thus for reaction:

$2Br^.\rightarrow Br_2$

The rate in terms of reactants is given as negative as the concentration of reactants is decreasing with time whereas the rate in terms of products is given as positive as the concentration of products is increasing with time.

$Rate=-\frac{d[Br^.]}{2dt}$

or $Rate=+\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}$

Thus $-\frac{d[Br^.]}{2dt}=+\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}$
