In order for work to take place the energy present must be related to the movement of the object.

This is another one of those muddy misleading questions, followed by
a muddy group of choices from which an answer must be selected.

a).  is absurd.  There's no such thing as a "balanced force", only
a balanced group of forces.

b).  is probably the choice the question is aiming for.

c).  is not so.  The engines of an airplane do plenty of work lifting the plane
off the ground, although the force of the engines is never directed upward.

d).  is really awkward.  The object's motion is almost never the cause of the force.
The force is almost always the cause of the object's motion.

Now for the big 800-lb gorilla in the room:  No moving object needs to be involved
in order for energy to be flowing or work to be getting done.

-- A radio wave radiates through space.  Straighten out a wire coat-hanger and
stick it up in the air where the radio wave can pass by it.  Electrical current flows
through the wire, and you can drain the electrical energy out the bottom of it.  

-- A light bulb is shining.  Some distance away, something it's shining on
gets warm, because of the heat energy that has shot across to it from the
light bulb and soaked into it.

-- A lightning bolt jumps from the ground to a passing cloud.  Or, if you feel
more comfortable with it, a lightning bolt jumps from a cloud to the ground.
It doesn't matter.  Either way, there's enough energy splashing around to
ignite houses, zap TVs and computers, melt concrete, vaporize water, and
light up a city.  Although nothing is moving.

In an economy, the demand for labor is given by the equation W = 15 - (1/200) L and the supply of labor is given by the equation
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

the equilibrium wage rate is 10  and the equilibrium quantity of labor is 1000 workers

Explanation:

The equilibrium wage rate and the equilibrium quantity of labor are found as the point where the equation of demand intercepts the equation of supply, so the equilibrium quantity of labor is:

W_{Demand} = W_{Supply}

15 - (1/200) L = 5 + (1/200) L

15 - 5 =  (1/200) L +  (1/200) L

10 = (2/200) L

(10*200)/2 = L

1000 = L

Then, the equilibrium wage rate is calculated using either the equation of demand for labor or the equation of supply of labor. If we use the equation of demand for labor, we get:

W = 15 - (1/200) L

W = 15 - (1/200) 1000

W = 10

Finally, the equilibrium wage rate is 10 and the equilibrium quantity of labor is 1000 workers

Can a average velocity be zero.Why? ​
marishachu [46]

<u>Answer:</u>

Yes

<u>Explanation:</u>

Average velocity is the ratio of total displacement and time taken for that displacement:

average \space\ velocity = \frac{displacement}{time}

This means if displacement is zero, then average velocity will also be zero.

Displacement is zero when an object moves some distance in one direction, and then moves the same distance but in the opposite direction.

∴ As it is possible for displacement to be zero, it is also possible for average velocity to be zero.

A test charge of -3x10^-7 C is located 7 cm to the right of a charge of -9x10^-6 C and 20 cm to the left of a charge of +10x10^-
musickatia [10]

Answer:

5.634 N rightwards

Explanation:

qo = - 3 x 10^-7 C

q1 = - 9 x 10^-6 C

q2 = 10 x 10^-6 C

r1 = 7 cm = 0.07 m

r2 = 20 cm = 0.2 m

The force on test charge due to q1 is F1 which is acting towards right

According to the Coulomb's law

F_{1}=\frac{Kq_{1}q_{0}}{r_{1}^{2}}

F1 = (9 x 10^9 x 9 x 10^-6 x 3 x 10^-7) / (0.07 x 0.07)

F1 = 4.959 N rightwards

The force on test charge due to q2 is F1 which is acting towards right

According to the Coulomb's law

F_{2}=\frac{Kq_{2}q_{0}}{r_{2}^{2}}

F2 = (9 x 10^9 x 10 x 10^-6 x 3 x 10^-7) / (0.2 x 0.2)

F2 = 0.675 N rightwards

Net force on the test charge

F = F1 + F2 = 4.959 + 0.675 = 5.634 N rightwards

Mary is allergic to cats. Mary's friend, Sue, has a roommate who has cats. Whenever Mary visits Sue, Mary sneezes even before sh
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: Extinction

Explanation: Extinction simply means cessation. A condition whereby an action or behavior exhibited by an individual or organism eventually stops. In psychological parlance, extinction is usually attributed to the discontinuance of a certain behavior usually due to non - reinforcement or eventual absence of the conditioned stimulus.

In the scenario above, the point at which Mary stopped sneezing is called extinction which is due to the removal of the cat which is the cause of Mary's sneezing behavior.
