Explanation:

a) How much work is done by gravity?

w = f x d
w = 950 x 10 x 5.5 = 52250j

b) How much work is done by tension?

v²=u²+2as
0.75²=0.25²+2a x5.5
0.56=0.06+2a x5.5
2a x5.5 = 0.56 - 0.06
2a x 5.5 =0.5
11a=0.5
a = 0.5/11 = 0.05m/s²

w = f x d

w = 950 x 0.05 x 5.5 = 261.25j

What is the definition of chemical change

Dima020 [189]

Chemical change is any change that results in the formation of new chemical substances. At the molecular level, chemical change involves making or breaking of bonds between atoms. These changes are chemical: iron rusting (iron oxide forms) gasoline burning (water vapor and carbon dioxide form)

A 20 cm tall object is placed in front of a concave mirror with a radius of 31 cm. The distance of the object to the mirror is 9

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

The focal length of the concave mirror is -15.5 cm

Explanation:

Given that,

Height of the object, h = 20 cm

Radius of curvature of the mirror, R = -31 cm (direction is opposite)

Object distance, u = -94 cm

We need to find the focal length of the mirror. The relation between the focal length and the radius of curvature of the mirror is as follows :

R = 2f

f is the focal length

$f=\dfrac{R}{2}$

$f=\dfrac{-31}{2}$

f = -15.5 cm

So, the focal length of the concave mirror is -15.5 cm. Hence, this is the required solution.

Nearly all liquids and solids are nearly opaque to radiation at nearly all wavelengths. why is that

anastassius [24]

As radiation enters a solid or liquid, the light waves are absorbed and reflected by the atoms. the resulting reflection from an atom can be in any direction and is random. you can understand opacity in terms of the scattering of radiation. The more opaque, the more scattering.

(The truth is far more complicated than this, check out Richard Feynmans lectures on "Quantum Electro Dynamics" to learn the reality of it. )

A reconnaissance plane flies 556 km away from

9966 [12]

We use the formula, to calculate the average speed of the round trip,

$v_{av} =\frac{d_{total}}{t_{total}}$

Here, $d_{total}$ , is total distance covered by plane in total time, $t_{total}$ .

For the round trip,

$d_{total=556\ km+556\ km=1112 \times 10^3\ m$

$t_{total}=\frac{556 \times 10^3 m}{832 m/s} + \frac{556 \times 10^3 m}{1248 m/s}$ .

Thus,

$v_{av} =\frac{1112 \times 10^3\ m}{\frac{556 \times 10^3 m}{832 m/s} + \frac{556 \times 10^3 m}{1248 m/s}} =\frac{1112 \times 10^3\ m}{668.26\ s+445.51\s} \\\\v_{av}=998.41\ m/s$ .
