Before railroad were invented, goods often traveled along canals, with mules pulling barges from the bank. If a mule is exerting

a 12,000N force for 10km, and the rope connecting the mule to the barge is at a 20 degree angle from the direction of travel, how much work did the mole do on the barge?
A. 12MJ
B. 11MJ
C. 4.1MJ
D. 6MJ

Answer:

W = 112.76MJ

Explanation:

the work is:

W = F_xD

where F_x is the force executed in the direction of the displacement and the d the displacement.

so:

W = 12000Ncos(20)(10000)

we use the cos of the angule because it give us the proyection in the axis x of the force, that means the force in the direction of the displacement.

W = 112.76MJ

The velocity of blood flow is ________. A) in direct proportion to the total cross-sectional area of the blood vessels B) slower
Leto [7]

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

The velocity at which blood flows in the blood vessels is inversely proportional to the total cross-sectional area of the blood vessels present in the body. This means that if the cross sectional area of the vessels low, then there will be high rate of blood flow, and vice versa. This blood flow is minimum in the case of capillaries, where it gets enough time for the exchanging of essential nutrients as well as gases.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

A line from the Brackett series of hydrogen has a wavelength of 1945nm (or 1.0979x10^7m). From which state did the electron orig
Zarrin [17]
We use the Rydberg Equation for this which is expressed as:

<span>1/ lambda = R [ 1/(n2)^2 - 1/(n1)^2]
</span>
where lambda is the wavelength, where n represents the final and initial states. Brackett series means that the initial orbit that electron was there is 4 and R is equal to 1.0979x10^7m<span>. Thus,
</span>
1/ lambda = R [ 1/(n2)^2 - 1/(n1)^2]
1/1.0979x10^7m = 1.0979x10^7m [ 1/(n2)^2 - 1/(4)^2]

Solving for n2, we obtain n=1.

For exercise, an athlete lifts a barbell that weighs 400 N from the ground to a height of 2.0 m in a time of 1.6 s. Assume the e
Sati [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

(ΔK + ΔUg + ΔUs + ΔEch + ΔEth = W)

ΔK is increase in kinetic energy . As the athelete is lifting the barbell at constant speed change in kinetic energy is zero .

ΔK = 0

ΔUg  is change in potential energy . It will be positive as weight is being lifted so its potential energy is increasing .

ΔUg = positive

ΔUs is change in the potential energy of sportsperson . It is zero since there is no change in the height of athlete .

ΔUs = 0

ΔEth is change in the energy of earth . Here earth is doing negative work . It is so because it is exerting force downwards and displacement is upwards . Hence it is doing negative work . Hence

ΔEth = negative .

b )

work done by athlete

= 400 x 2 = 800 J

energy output = 800 J

c )

It is 25% of metabolic energy output of his body

so metalic energy output of body

= 4x 800 J .

3200 J

power = energy output / time

= 3200 / 1.6

= 2000 W .

d )

1 ) Since he is doing same amount of work , his metabolic energy output is same as that in earlier case .

2 ) Since he is doing the same exercise in less time so his power is increased . Hence in the second day his power is more .
