Answer:

150 inches (12.5 ft)

Explanation:

The work done to lift the 500 pound block 3 inches should be the same as that to lift the 10 pond object a given distance.

The following is the equation one needs to solve:

$10 \,lb\,* \,x\,=\,500\,lb\,*\,3\,in\\10 \,lb\,* \,x\,=\,1500\,lb\,in\\$

therefore solving for the distance "x" gives as the answer (in inches):

$10 \,lb\,* \,x\,=\,1500\,lb\,in\\x\,=\,\frac{1500\,lb\,in}{10\,lb} \\\\x\,=150\,in$

which can also be given in feet as: 12.5 ft

A soccer player heads the ball and sends it flying vertically upwards at a speed of 18.0 m/s . How high above the players ' head

Darya [45]

Answer:

The ball travels up to 16.53 meters above the player's head

Explanation:

Vertical Launch Upwards

In a vertical launch upwards, an object is launched vertically up from a height H without taking into consideration any kind of friction with the air.

If vo is the initial speed and g is the acceleration of gravity, the maximum height reached by the object is given by:

$\displaystyle h_m=H+\frac{v_o^2}{2g}$

The initial speed of the soccer ball is vo=18 m/s. The initial height can be assumed to be zero because we are required to find the maximum height with respect to the player's head, where the vertical motion was initiated.

Calculate the maximum height:

$\displaystyle h_m=\frac{18^2}{2\cdot 9.8}$

$h_m=16.53\ m$

The ball travels up to 16.53 meters above the player's head

A ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial velocity of 23.6 meters per second. What is the maximum height reached by the

REY [17]

Answer:

Maximum height attained by the ball will be h = 28.416 m

Explanation:

We have given initial speed of the ball u = 23.6 m /sec

At maximum height velocity will be zero so final velocity v = 0 m/sec

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

From law of motion we know that $v^2=u^2-2gh$

$0^2=23.6^2-2\times 9.8\times h$

h = 28.416 m

So maximum height attained by the ball will be h = 28.416 m

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

1. "Gage is beginning a low calorie diet, so he eats three servings of chicken for lunch" is equal to C: "Protein contains four calories per gram of fat, so it is a low fat, high energy food."

2. "Walter eats two servings of whole grain pasta the night before running a 5K" is equal to B: "Carbohydrates contain four calories per gram of fat, so they need to come from grains in moderation."

3. "Maggie eats half a candy bar and saves the rest for the next day" is equal to A: "Fatty foods contain nine grams of pure fat and have little nutritional value."

Explanation:

Chicken is a popular, low-fat food that provides an impressive amount of high-quality protein in just one serving. The breast is the leanest part of a chicken. A 3-ounce (85-grams) serving of roasted, skinless chicken breast contains only 3 grams of fat but provides 26 grams of protein (47).

Pasta is a fat-free, low sodium food that can fit right in with a weight loss or management plan. One cup of cooked pasta contains just 200 calories, in addition to valuable vitamins and minerals.

Sweets like candy, soft drinks, syrups, jams, and jellies are made mostly of sugars. Most of these foods do not contain many vitamins or minerals. So they are called "empty calorie" foods. Fats, oils and sweets are not bad foods.
