Answer:

Sam is 10 years old.

Explanation:

Lets just say this was asked in 2020 meaning 5 years ago was 2015.

If Pete was 15 in 2015 and his age was 3x the age of Sam, Sam would be 5.

15/3= 5

Now that 5 years has passed since 2015 Sam is 10 and Pete is 20.

(15+5) + (5+5)

Adding the two ages in current times, the sum is 30.

20 + 10 = 30

Which of the following describes how net work is determined?
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

  • Last choice: <u><em>The net force on an object applied over a distance</em></u>

Explanation:

When several forces act act over an object, the vectorial force is call net force.

Every force can do work, as the work  () is the product of the force  () and the parallel displacement (<em>D</em>) caused by such force.

When several works are done on a object the <em>net work</em> is the sum of all the works done by the forces acting on the object.

Such net work is equivalent to a work done by the <em>net force</em> over the net parallel displacement, which is the distance from the starting point and the ending point.

Hence,  the net work can be determined as <em>"The net force on an object applied over a distance", </em>which is the last statement.
