Answer:

Correct answer:  F = 50 N  weight of backpack

Explanation:

Given:

W = 200 J    work against gravity

h = 4 m  

F = m g = ?

g = 10 m/s²

The work done is a measure of change in this case of potential energy

W = Δ Ep = m g h = F · h ⇒ F = W / h =

F = W / h = 200 / 4 = 50 N

F = 50 N

A 1500 kg car, initially traveling at 22.0 m/s, hits its brakes and skids to a stop. Determine the work done by friction.
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

<em>The work done by the car is 363 kJ</em>

Explanation:

Work : Work is said to be done when a Force moves an object through a certain distance. Work and Energy are interchangeable because they have the same unit. The unit of work is Joules (J).

Mathematically work done can be expressed as,

E = W = 1/2mv²

W =  1/2mv²................................ Equation 1

Where E = Energy, W = work done, m = mass of the car, v = velocity of the car

<em>Given: m=1500 kg, v=22 m/s</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1</em>

<em>W = 1/2(1500)(22)²</em>

<em>W = 750 × 484</em>

<em>W = 363000 J</em>

<em>W = 363 kJ</em>

<em>Thus the work done by the car is 363 kJ</em>

group 17 is called halogens family, and the group to the right is called the noble gases. How are these elements alike and how a
Verdich [7]
Similarities:
The halogens like noble gases are gaseous im nature. Example,
Chlorine, bromine are halogens and argon , xenon are noble gases.
Both are non-metals.

Differences: Halogens are very reactive because their octet needs only one electron tk complete. But, the nobles gases are quite stable and unreactive because the have complete octets.
