Calculate the work required to lift a 2000 kg vehicle on a lift, 2.0 m at constant speed, assuming friction averages 500 N..a. 3
1 answer:
Answer:
c. 40200 J
Explanation:
Assume gravitational constant g = 9.8m/s2. The weight of the 2000kg vehicle is
In addition to the friction averaging at 500N, the total force is
F = 20000 + 500 = 20100 N
The work required to generate this force over a distance of 2m would be
F*s = 20500 * 2 = 40200 J
So c.40200 J is the correct answer

Answer:
A) Its density will decrease
Explanation:
When an object is heated, its volume increases. This is due to the fact that the particles in the medium vibrate more (if it is a solid) or they move more (if it is a liquid or a gas), therefore they tend to occupy a larger space.
At the same time, the mass of the object does not change, because the mass just represents the amount of matter contained in the object, so it does not increase/decrease at different temperatures.
The density of an object is defined as the ratio between the mass (m) and the volume (V):
We said that the mass remains unchanged while the volume increases: since the density is inversely proportional to the volume, this means that the density decreases.
