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!

Write down the effect of humidity and temperature on the speed of sound.​
finlep [7]

Answer:

The speed of sound is affected by temperature and humidity. Because it is less dense, sound passes through hot air faster than it passes through cold air. ... The attenuation of sound in air is affected by the relative humidity. Dry air absorbs far more acoustical energy than does moist air.

All of the following would be questions that could be scientifically investigated except:
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

"What is the best advice a parent can give a child?"

Explanation:

The other answers have one clear response. Ex: Orange popsicles melt faster than grape popsicles. That would be a fact.

But parental advice can vary, depending on your opinion. I may say that all parents must teach their children not to talk to strangers, while someone else may say that parents should advice their kids to treat everyone fairly. Nothing can be proven as the only appropriate response.

Hope this helps!
