Answer:

5880lb-ft of work is done

Explanation:

The length of the heavy rope is given as 60ft and the weight per length is 0.7lb/ft.

Therefore, the total weight of the heavy rope is

60×0.7 =42lb.

The work done in pulling the heavy rope to the top of the building is w = Fd.

Where

F is force is measured in pounds;42lb

d is distance through which the heavy rope is to be pulled measured in feet; 140ft

w= 42lb×140ft= 5880lb-ft

Lelu [443]
So basically the objects would be sandpaper and smooth metal, the sandpaper can indirectly touch the metal since it’s so smooth and it won’t cause any temp change either

If an object moving at 12 m/s has a kinetic energy of 72 j what is the mass
EleoNora [17]
Simply, apply the formula E = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} and insert the values of m = mass, v = velocity and E = Energy.
The result will be 72J =  \frac{1}{2}m(12m/s)^{2}, m = 1 kg

A person kicks a 4.0-kilogram door with a 48-newton force causing the door to accelerate at 12 meters per second squared. What i
inna [77]

Answer:

-48 N

Explanation:

mass of door (m) = 4 kg

acceleration of the door = 12 m/s^{2}

force exerted by the person = 48 N

From Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal but opposite. Therefore the force exerted on the door by the person which is 48 N will be the same as the force exerted on the person by the door but opposite in its direction, and this would be - 48 N

astra-53 [7]

The student’s suggestion who provides enough evidence to be able to determine the value of each resistor is student D.

<h3>What is current?</h3>

The current is the stream of charges which flow inside the conductors when connected across the end of voltage.

For the given set of parallel resistors, we need to find the resistance of each resistor.

From the Ohm's law, V =IR

R = V/I

Resistance value depends upon the voltage difference across the resistor and the current flowing through that resistance.

Thus, the student D gives enough evidence to find resistance of the circuit is
