<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The answer is the first option, 100 ft-lbs.

To calculate the work done by an object over a distance, we need to multiply the applied force by the amount of movement (distance).

So, to calculate the work that Gary needs to do to move the chair, we need to use the following equation:

$Work=Force*Distance$

We are given,

$Force=20lb\\Distance=5ft$

$Work=F*D\\Work=(20lb)*(5ft)=100ft-lbs$

Hence, the answer is the first option, 100 ft-lbs.

Have a nice day!

You and a friend each hold a lump of wet clay. Each lump has a mass of 30 grams. You each toss your lump of clay into the air, w

Vesna [10]

Answer:

$\ \text{m/s}$

Explanation:

$u_1$ = Velocity of one lump = $3x+3y-3z$

$u_2$ = Velocity of the other lump = $-4x+0y-4z$

m = Mass of each lump = $30\ \text{g}$

The collision is perfectly inelastic as the lumps stick to each other so we have the relation

$mu_1+mu_2=(m+m)v\\\Rightarrow m(u_1+u_2)=2mv\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{u_1+u_2}{2}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{3x+3y-3z-4x+0y-4z}{2}\\\Rightarrow v=-0.5x+1.5y-3.5z=\ \text{m/s}$

The velocity of the stuck-together lump just after the collision is $\ \text{m/s}$ .

An astronaut has a mass of 75 kg and is floating in space 500 m from his 125,000 kg spacecraft. What will be the force of gravit

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

1. 2.5×10¯⁹ N

2. 3.33×10¯¹¹ m/s²

Explanation:

1. Determination of the force of attraction.

Mass of astronaut (M₁) = 75 Kg

Mass of spacecraft (M₂) = 125000 Kg

Distance apart (r) = 500 m

Gravitational constant (G) = 6.67×10¯¹¹ Nm²/Kg²

Force of attraction (F) =?

The force of attraction between the astronaut and his spacecraft can be obtained as follow:

F = GM₁M₂ /r²

F = 6.67×10¯¹¹ × 75 × 125000 / 500²

F = 2.5×10¯⁹ N

Thus, the force of attraction between the astronaut and his spacecraft is 2.5×10¯⁹ N

2. Determination of the acceleration of the astronaut.

Mass of astronaut (m) = 75 Kg

Force (F) = 2.5×10¯⁹ N

Acceleration (a) of astronaut =?

The acceleration of the astronaut can be obtained as follow:

F = ma

2.5×10¯⁹ N = 75 × a

Divide both side by 75

a = 2.5×10¯⁹ / 75

a = 3.33×10¯¹¹ m/s²

Thus, the acceleration the astronaut is 3.33×10¯¹¹ m/s²

You push a coin across a table. The coin stops. How does this motion relate to balanced and unbalanced forces?

Snezhnost [94]

If you are pushing the coin across the table at a constant rate, the friction of the table and the horizontal force of your hand pushing are equal, and the coin itself moves at a constant rate. If you push a coin and let it go, there is no horizontal force keeping the coin going. Friction slows the coin to a stop. In both cases, the gravitational downward pull of Earth is equally but oppositely resisted by the upward push of table on the coin.
