You lift a 25-kg child 0.80 m, slowly carry him 10 m to the playroom, and finally set him back down 0.80 m onto the playroom flo

or. What work do you do on the child for each part of the trip and for the whole trip

To solve this problem we will apply the work theorem which is expressed as the force applied to displace a body. Considering that body strength is equivalent to weight, we will make the following considerations

$\text{Mass of the child} = m = 25kg$

$\text{Acceleration due to gravity} = g = 9.81m/s^2$

$\text{Height lifted} = h = 0.80m (Upward)$

Work done to upward the object

$W = mgh$

$W = (25)(9.81)(0.8)$

$W = 196.2J$

Horizontal Force applied while carrying 10m,

$F = 0N$

$W = 0J$

Height descended in setting the child down

$h' = -0.8m (Downwoard)$

$W = mgh'$

$W = (25)(9.81)(-0.80)$

$W = -196.2J$

For full time, assuming that the total value of work is always expressed in terms of its symbol, it would be zero, since at first it performs the same work that is later complemented in a negative way.

What is the coldest place on earth

exis [7]

The continent of Antartica is located at the bottom of the world. the South Pole is at its center. Antarctica is the coldest and windiest place on earth. It is covered with ice up to 3 miles thick. Very few plants and animals can survive here, but penguins, fish, and seals live on the coast and in the seas. No people live on Antarctica permanently, but scientists and tourists visit.

Consider a system to be two train cars traveling toward each other. What is the total momentum of the system before the train ca

Brut [27]

Let say the two train cars are of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$

now if the speed of two cars are $v_1$ and $v_2$

then we can say that the momentum of two cars before they collide is given by

$P = m_1v_1 - m_2v_2$

here two cars are moving in opposite direction so we can say that the net momentum is subtraction of two cars momentum.

Now since in these two car motion there is no external force on them while they collide

So the momentum of two cars are always conserved.

hence we can say that the final momentum of two cars will be same after collision as it is before collision

$P = m_1v_1 - m_2v_2$

What is the tangent function used to find and what are its units

Verizon [17]

The functions of angles are used to find unknown lengths or angles that can't be measured, in terms of known quantities. The trig functions of angles are ratios of lengths, so they're bare naked numbers without units.

An investigator collects a sample of a radioactive isotope with an activity of 490,000 Bq.48 hours later, the activity is 110,00

Daniel [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is "22.27 hours".

Explanation:

Given that:

Radioactive isotope activity,

= 490,000 Bq

Activity,

= 110,000 Bq

Time,

= 48 hours

As we know,

⇒ $A = A_0 e^{- \lambda t}$

or,

⇒ $\frac{A}{A_0}=e^{-\lambda t}$

By taking "ln", we get

⇒ $ln \frac{A}{A_0}=- \lambda t$

By substituting the values, we get

⇒ $-ln \frac{110000}{490000} = -48 \lambda$

⇒ $-1.4939=-48 \lambda$

$\lambda = 0.031122$

As,

⇒ $\lambda = \frac{ln_2}{\frac{T}{2} }$

then,

⇒ $\frac{ln_2}{T_ \frac{1}{2} } =0.031122$

⇒ $T_\frac{1}{2}=\frac{ln_2}{0.031122}$

$=22.27 \ hours$
