If the sign of work is negative, that means the force and the motion are in opposite directions.

Let's say you see something roll off of the shelf. You catch it, and you let it down slowly and gently.

Gravity exerted down-force on it and it moved down. Gravity did positive work on it.

YOU exerted UP-force on it and it moved down. YOU did negative work on it.

(Also, the falling object exerted down-force on your hand, and your hand moved down. The falling object did positive work on your hand ! Where did THAT energy come from ? It came from the potential energy that the object had while it was on the shelf. Your hand absorbed that energy on the way down, doing negative work. So the object didn't have any kinetic energy when it reached the floor, and it did NOT splinter the floor or shatter in smithereens. It had barely enough energy left to make a sound when it hit the floor.)

Help! PROJECTILE PROBLEM: A 7500-kg rocket blasts off vertically from the launch pad with a constant upward acceleration of 2.25
dsp73
Here, 

height at failure, h1 = 525 m, 
upward acceleration, a = 2.25 m/s^2, 
velocity = v m/s, 
<span>
SO, </span>
<span>
v^2 = 2*a*h = 2*2.25*525 = 2362.5 </span>
Now, acceleration, g = 9.8 m/s^2, 
<span>
SO, </span>
<span>
heigt, h1 = v^2/2g = 2362.5 / 2*9.8 = 120.54 meters </span>
Hence, 
<span>
a) </span>
Total height = 525+120.54 = 645.54 meters 

b) 
<span>time, for h1, t = v/g = sqrt(2362.5)/9.8 = 4.96 sec

A surveyor is using a magnetic compass 6.4 m below a power line in which there is a steady current of 120 A. (a) What is the mag
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnetic field due to a long current carrying conductor

μ₀ / 4π x 2i / r  ( i = current , r = distance of point from wire )

= 10⁻⁷ x 2 x 120 / 6.4  ( i = 120 A , r = 6.4m )

= 37.5 x 10⁻⁷ T .

= 3. 75 X 10⁻⁶ T .

= 3.75 µT.

b )

The direction of this field will be horizontal hence it will affect magnetic needle.

Two bodies, one hot and the other cold kept in vacuum.what will happen to the tempreture of bodies after some time.
Dovator [93]
Hot body will lose heat from it, and that heat will goes out from it through radiation, so it's temperature will decrease after some time.

In same manner, cold body will take the heat, and it's temperature will increase

Hope this helps!
