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!

a cylinder has a radius of 2.1cm and a length of 8.8cm .total charge 6.1 x 10^-7C is distributed uniformly throughout. the volum
7nadin3 [17]

The answer for the following problem is explained below.

Therefore the volume charge density of a substance (ρ) is 0.04 × 10^{-1} C.

Explanation:

Given:

radius (r) =2.1 cm = 2.1 ×10^{-2} m

height (h) =8.8 cm = 8.8 ×10^{-2} m

total charge (q) =6.1×10^{-7} C

To solve:

volume charge density (ρ)

We know;

<u> ρ =q ÷ v</u>

volume of cylinder = π ×r  × r × h

volume of cylinder =3.14 × 2.1 × 2.1 ×10^{-4} × 8.8 ×10^{-2}

volume of cylinder (v) = 122.23 ×10^{-6}

<u> ρ =q ÷ v</u>

ρ = 6.1×10^{-7} ÷   122.23 ×10^{-6}

<u>ρ = 0.04 × </u>10^{-1}<u> C</u>

Therefore the volume charge density of a substance (ρ) is 0.04 × 10^{-1} C.

The angle between magnetic north and the north to which a compass needle points is known as magnetic declination.
Romashka [77]

From among the choices provided, the better choice is the upper-case letter '<em>T </em>'.  That symbol can conveniently be used to represent the words "true" or "truth", which is exactly the reason that it is the better choice for a response, since the complicated statement at the beginning of the question is completely true in its every detail, nuance, jot and tittle.

A wave on a string is reflected from a fixed end. The reflected wave 1. Is in phase with the original wave at the end. 2. Has a
MrRa [10]

Answer:

3. Is 180◦ out of phase with the original wave at the end.

Explanation:

Here when wave is reflected by the rigid boundary then due to the rigidly bounded particles at the end or boundary they have tendency not to move and remains fixed at their position.

Due to this fixed position we can say when wave reach at that end the particles will not move and they apply equal and opposite force at the particles of string

Due to this the reflected wave is transferred back into the string in opposite phase with respect to the initial wave

so here correct answer will be

3. Is 180◦ out of phase with the original wave at the end.
