<u>13788 J is required to finish the work.</u>

Explanation:

Given that,  

Mass of lawnmower is 20 kg  

Force = 30 N

\text { Angle }(\theta)=40^{\circ}

Displacement ( distance moved )= 20m

The force of 30N is applied along the direction of motion and was applied for the whole 20 m.

The formula of work done for one pass is

\text { Work done }=\text { force } \times \text { displacement } \times \cos \theta

Substituting the given data into the formula,

W=30 \times 20 \times \cos 40^{\circ}

\mathrm{W}=600 \times \cos 40^{\circ}

\mathrm{W}=600 \times 0.766

W = 459.6 J

Work done for one pass = 459.6J

Now, work done for 30 passes is calculated by multiplying the work done for one pass into 30.

\text { Then the work done for } 30 \text { passes is } 459.61 \times 30=13788 \mathrm{J}

Work is done by the person pushing the mower to finish the work is <u>13788 J</u>.

One of the longer sides of a kite is 39 feet. one of the shorter sides is 25 feet. half the length of the shorter diagonal is 15
pychu [463]
The area of a triangle is found by multiplying the height of the triangle by the length of the base and dividing them both by 2. The length of the shorter side in the equation is useless information, so just multiply 39 by 25 and divide that by 2. A=487.5 sq ft. Also, that's a pretty big kite.

The law of reflection says that the angle of incidence is
nekit [7.7K]
The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Furthermore, the law of reflection states that the incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal all lie in the same plane.

hope this helps :)

Urgent!!!!!! 20 points!!!!!!<br> how are the speed, wavelength and frequency of a wave related
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength. Because all light waves move through a vacuum at the same speed, the number of wave crests passing by a given point in one second depends on the wavelength. Speed shows how long it takes for wavelengths to travel.
