Answer: 0.55 m/s
Explanation:
This situation is related to projectile motion (also called parabolic motion), where the main equations are as follows:
(1)
(2)
Where:
is the horizontal displacement of the pencil
is the pencil's initial velocity
since we are told the pencil rolls <u>horizontally</u> before falling
is the time since the pencil falls until it hits the ground
is the initial height of the pencil
is the final height of the pencil (when it finally hits the ground)
is the acceleration due gravity, always acting vertically downwards
Begining with (1):
(3)
(4)
Finding
from (2):
(5)
(6)
Substituting (6) in (4):
(7)
Isolating
:
(8)
(9)
Finally:
It is because the effort distance is greater than the load distance
Explanation:
As we know, Effort×effort distance = load × load distance
So when effort distance is increases,
The effort decreases
So when the spanner’s handle is long
A tight knot can easily be opened by less effrot

Energy used by heater is 8.21 x 10⁶ J</h2>
Explanation:
Energy = Power x Time
Power = Voltage x Current
Voltage = 120 V
Current = 9.5 A
Power = Voltage x Current
Power = 120 x 9.5 = 1140 W
Time = 2 hours = 2 x 60 x 60 = 7200 s
Energy = Power x Time
Energy = 1140 x 7200
Energy = 8208000 J
Energy used by heater is 8.21 x 10⁶ J
