A student librarian lifts a 2.2 kg book from the floor to a height of 1.25 m. He carries the book 8.0 m to the stacks and places

the book on a shelf that is.35 m above the floor. How much work does he do on the book?
I understand most of it, but I am unsure of what distance to use. Please help? ...?

The solution to your problem is as follows:


2.2Kg*9.8m/s = 21.56N 
<span>
21.56N*1.25m = 26.95J </span>


<span>We're only concerned with the work done against gravity, lifting the books to 1.25 meters. the distance walked has no effect on the problem, unless you take into account the wind resistance and the force needed to overcome it. Also, lowering the books onto the shelf doesnt count, because gravity does the work on the books.</span>

Answer:

W_{tot}=W_{1}+W_{2}=mgh_{2}=7.55[J]

Explanation:

The work done on an object is the scalar product between force and displacement. So we can write the work:

W=F\cdot d=Fd

In our case F and d are parallels then we have a common product of their magnitudes.

Now, the total work will be the sum these two works:

  1. Work done when the student librarian lifts a 2.2 kg book from the floor to a height of h₁=1.25 m.
  2. Work done when he places the book on a shelf that is h₂=0.35 m above the floor.

Let's recall that the force in this problem is just the weight of the book. F=m*g

  • The first work will be: W_{1}=mgh_{1}. F and h1 are parallels
  • The second work will be:W_{2}=-mg(h_{1}-h_{2}) is negative because the vector force and the vector displacement are anti parallels.

Finally, the total work will be the sum of W₁ and W₂.

W_{tot}=W_{1}+W_{2}=mgh_{2}=2.2*9.81*0.35=7.55[J]

I hope it helps you!

Answer:

Re=160ohm

Explanation:

Step#1

Rt=R1+R2 ( because both are in series)

Rt=(100+220 ) ohm

Rt=320 ohm

Step#2

Rt and R3 are parallel so,

Re= (Rt× R3) ÷ (Rt+R3)

Re= (320×320)÷( 320+320)

Re = 102,400÷ 640

Re=160ohm

Estimate how much solar energy reaches the earth per year (in Joule).
Alexxandr [17]

Each hour 430 quintillion Joules of energy from the sun hits the Earth.

In a year it is very hard to determine because of the night and different light levels.

1) A thin ring made of uniformly charged insulating material has total charge Q and radius R. The ring is positioned along the x
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

(A) considering the charge "q" evenly distributed, applying the technique of charge integration for finite charges, you obtain the expression for the potential along any point in the Z-axis:

V(z)=\frac{Q}{4\pi (\epsilon_{0}) \sqrt{R^{2} +z^{2}}  }

With (\epsilon_{0}) been the vacuum permittivity

(B) The expression for the magnitude of the E(z) electric field along the Z-axis is:

E(z)=\frac{QZ}{4\pi (\epsilon_{0}) (R^{2} +z^{2})^{\frac{3}{2} }    }

Explanation:

(A) Considering a uniform linear density λ_{0} on the ring, then:

dQ=\lambda dl (1)⇒Q=\lambda_{0} 2\pi R(2)⇒\lambda_{0}=\frac{Q}{2\pi R}(3)

Applying the technique of charge integration for finite charges:

V(z)= 4\pi (ε_{0})\int\limits^a_b {\frac{1}{ r'  }} \, dQ(4)

Been r' the distance between the charge and the observation point and a, b limits of integration of the charge. In this case a=2π and b=0.

Using cylindrical coordinates, the distance between a point of the Z-axis and a point of a ring with R radius is:

r'=\sqrt{R^{2} +Z^{2}}(5)

Using the expressions (1),(4) and (5) you obtain:

V(z)= 4\pi (\epsilon_{0})\int\limits^a_b {\frac{\lambda_{0}R}{ \sqrt{R^{2} +Z^{2}}  }} \, d\phi

Integrating results:

V(z)=\frac{Q}{4\pi (\epsilon_{0}) \sqrt{R^{2} +z^{2}}  }   (S_a)

(B) For the expression of the magnitude of the field E(z), is important to remember:

|E| =-\nabla V (6)

But in this case you only work in the z variable, soo the expression (6) can be rewritten as:

|E| =-\frac{dV(z)}{dz} (7)

Using expression (7) and (S_a), you get the expression of the magnitude of the field E(z):

E(z)=\frac{QZ}{4\pi (\epsilon_{0}) (R^{2} +z^{2})^{\frac{3}{2} }    } (S_b)
