Jay fills a wagon with sand (about 20 kg) and pulls it with a rope 40 m along the beach. He holds the rope 25â above the horizon

tal. The rope exerts a 20-N tension force on the wagon. How much work does the rope do on the wagon?

Answer:

W = 725 J

Explanation:

given,

mass of wagon = 20 kg

distance of pull = 40 m

angle made with the horizontal = 25°

tension force on the wagon = 20 N

Work done = ?

Horizontal component of the force will help in movement of the wagon.

Horizontal component of force=

F_x = F cos θ

Work done is equal to force into displacement

W = F.s

W =  F cos θ.s

W = 20 cos 25° x 40

W = 725 J

hence, work done on pulling the wagon is equal to W = 725 J

What is the difference between current and voltage besides their units of measurement
kondor19780726 [428]
"Voltage" is the "pressure" that makes electrons want to leave where they are
and head in some direction, if there's conducting material in that direction.

"Current" is the rate at which they all migrate in that direction.

Electromagnetic waves are ........... by shiny surfaces.
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves are reflected

Explanation:

Reflection of light (and other forms of electromagnetic radiation) occurs when the waves encounter a surface or other boundary that does not absorb the energy of the radiation and bounces the waves away from the surface. ... This concept is often termed the Law of Reflection.

An object is hanging by a string from the ceiling of an elevator. The elevator is moving upward with a constant speed. What is t
xeze [42]

Answer:

The magnitude of the tension in he string is equal to the magnitude of the weight of the object.

Explanation:

According to the Newton's 1st law, An object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

In here, the elevator is moving with a constant speed. So the object must have the equal constant speed. Which means, it has a uniform motion. According to Newton's 1st law, the total unbalanced force on the object must be zero . As we know, there are only two forces are on the object and they are,

The tension in string(T)   ,   The weight of the object(W) .

                                  ∴ F    =   0

                                 T  -  W  =   0

So to balanced those forces, the magnitude of the tension in the string must be equal to the magnitude of the weight of  the object.
