How much work do you do on a 15 N book in lifting it straight up for a distance of 0.40 meters?

Physics
1 answer:
astra-53 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Work done, W = 6 J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force of gravity acting on the book, weight of the book is 15 N

We need to find the work done in lifting the book straight up for a distance of  0.4 meters.

The weight of the book is acting in downward direction and the book is lifted straight up, it means angle between them is 180 degrees. Work done is given by :

W=Fd\cos180\\\\W=15\times 0.4\times \cos180\\\\W=-6\ J

So, the magnitude of work done in lifting the book is 6 joules.

The deck of a bridge is suspended 235 feet above a river. If a pebble falls off the side of the bridge, the height, in feet, of
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

(a) 1, average velocity = -65.6 m/s

   2, average velocity = -64.8 m/s

   3, average velocity = -64.16 m/s

(b) The instantaneous velocity is -96 m/s

Explanation:

(a)

Average velocity is given  by;

y(t_2,t_1) = \frac{y(t_2) - y(t_1)}{t_2-t_1}

(1)

y(2.1,2) = \frac{(235-16*2.1^2) - (235-16*2^2)}{2.1-2}\\\\ y(2.1,2) = -65.6 \ m/s

(2)

y(2.05,2) = \frac{(235-16*2.05^2) - (235-16*2^2)}{2.05-2}\\\\ y(2.05,2) = -64.8 \ m/s

(3)

y(2.01,2) = \frac{(235-16*2.01^2) - (235-16*2^2)}{2.01-2}\\\\ y(2.01,2) = -64.16 \ m/s

b. y = 235 - 16t²

The instantaneous velocity is given by;

v = dy /dt

dy / dt = -32t

when t = 3 s

v = -32(3)

v = -96 m/s

cup of hot chocolate has a spoon in it. How does the heat move from the hot chocolate to the metal spoon handle?
serg [7]

The heat moves from the hot chocolate to the handle of the spoon by a process called thermal conduction.

It is the transfer of heat energy from one object to another when they are in contact with eachother.

Hope this answers your question.

A child pushes a 100 kg refrigerator with a force of 50 N, but the refrigerator does not move. Suppose the coefficient of static
faust18 [17]

Answer:

50 N

Explanation:

Since the refrigerator doesn’t move, that means the force of friction equals the amount of force the child exerts on the fridge. If the friction force were greater than the force by the child, the fridge would start accelerating towards the child. If it were less than the force the child exerted, the fridge would start accelerating away from the child. Therefore, the net force must be 0, in this case, the friction force is equal to the force the child exerted, for it to stay at rest (as Newton’s First Law stated).

I hope this helps! :)

The low areas created as a sound wave propagates are called rarefactions
qwelly [4]

The answer is; pressure

The sound is a longitudinal wave meaning the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave. Sound waves, therefore, produce compression (akin to the crest in a transverse wave) and rarefaction regions (akin to a trough in a transverse wave) as its energy is propagated in the medium.
