DENIUS [597]3 years ago
8 0

48J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight of the book = 16N

Height of the shelf = 3m

Unknown:

Work done to raise the book = ?

Solution:

Work done is defined as the product of force and distance. The force here is the weight of the book which signifies that it was carried in the vicinity of gravitational force.

   Work done = Force x  distance = weight x distance

Weight is a type of force;

  Input the parameters;

     Work done = 16 x 3 = 48J

The unit of workdone is in Joules

A roller coaster car is going over the top of a 18-m-radius circular rise. at the top of the hill, the passengers "feel light,"
Mashutka [201]

The solution for this problem is:

If they feel 50% of their weight that means that the centripetal force is also 50% of their weight 1g - 0.5g = 0.5g 


Then 0.5* 9.8m/s² * 18m = 88.2 would be v² 

Then get the square root, the answer would be:
and v = 9.391 m/s is the answer.

Someone please help with these 2
Ann [662]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula that you are working with is F = m*a

Since mass is one part of the formula if you increase the mass, you are going to increase the force.

The second one is much more difficult to answer because it is basically incomplete. This is one way to interpret it. If you start at a certain speed and increase during a known time period then effectively you are defining acceleration which is "a" in the formula.

Without those modifications, there is no answer.
