A boy exerts a force of 9.0 N horizontally to push his sister on a sled. He pushes her through a distance of 15 m. How much work

did he do?
Was this positive work or negative work? If he stops pushing, his sister and the sled will eventually slow to a stop. Is this negative work or positive
work? What force is doing the work?
Please help with the last 2 questions above^^ (negative or positive,, and what force is doing the work)

Answer:

Work done by the boy is 135 J  and is positive work.

Friction is the force acting that stops the sled and her sister.

Work done by friction is negative work.

Explanation:

Given:

Force acting on the sled by the boy is, F=9.0\ N

Displacement of the sled in the direction of force is, S=15\ m

We know that, positive work is said to be done by a force, if the force causes displacement in its own direction. Also, negative work is said to be done by a force, if the force causes displacement in the direction exactly opposite to the direction of the applied force.

Here, the force applied by the boy causes a displacement in the direction of the applied force. So, work is positive and is given as:

Work = Force × Displacement

Work=F\times S\\Work=9\times 15=135\ J

Therefore, the work done by the boy is positive and equal to 135 J.

Now, when the force of push is removed, then the body will experience only the frictional force in the opposite direction which eventually causes the sled to stop.

Here, the direction of force is backward while the displacement is in the forward direction. So, both of them are in opposite direction.

So, work done by frictional force is negative.

what happens to a circuits resistance, voltage, and current when you increase the diameter of the wire in the circuit?
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Option D.

Resistance (R) decreases

Voltage (V) is constant

Current (I) increases

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing an equation relating resistance and diameter of a wire. This is given below:

R = ρL/A ......... (1)

A = πr² (since the wire is circular in shape)

r = d/2

A = πr² = π(d/2)²

A = πd²/4

Substitute the value of A into equation 1

R = ρL/A

R = ρL ÷ A

R = ρL ÷ πd²/4

R = ρL × 4/πd²

R = 4ρL /πd²

Where:

R is the resistance of the wire.

ρ is the resistivity of the wire.

L is the length of the wire.

A is the cross sectional area of the wire.

r is the radius.

d is the diameter of the wire

From equation (1) above, we can say that the resistance (R) is inversely proportional to the square of the diameter of the wire. This implies that an increase in the diameter of the wire will result in a decrease of the resistance. Also, a decrease in the diameter of the wire will result in an increase in the resistance of the wire.

1. Since the diameter of the wire is increase, therefore, the resistance of the wire will decrease.

2. From ohm's law,

V = IR

Divide both side by I

R = V/I

Where:

R is the resistance

V is the voltage

I is the current

From the above equation, the resistance (R) is directly proportional to the voltage (V) and inversely proportional to the current (I).

If we keep the voltage constant, this means that an increase in the resistance will lead to a decrease in the current. Also, a decrease in the resistance will lead to an increase in the current.

Since the resistance of the wire decrease, the current will increase.

From the illustrations made above, an increase in the diameter of the wire will lead to:

1. Decrease in resistance.

2. Voltage is constant.

3. Increase in current.

There are many interesting applications of our energy density model to the flow of blood in the human circulatory system. One in
qaws [65]

Answer:

Pressure increases due to enlargement

Explanation:

Energy density is just a fancy name for pressure

Pressure is same at the bottom of the cups (same level-Pascal's law)

thus, Air pressure 1 + h1d1g = Air pressure 2 + h2d1g

= Air pressure 3 + (h2-h1)d2g +h1d1g

from the first 2, we get that since h2>h1, AP2<AP1

from the next 2, we get that since d2<d1, AP3>AP2

from first and third, we get that AP1>AP3

thus, finally AP1>AP3>AP2

for fluids flowing in tubes (blood vessel in this case)

P+0.5dv^2 + gh is constant (also called the bernoulli equation

for the same blood vessel, the heights remain same i.e h1=h2

for same flow rate, inc in area decreases the speed at which the blood flows as vA must remain same

hence, P increases due to enlargement

A motorboat heads due east at 16 m/s across a river that flows due south at 9.0 m/s. a.) What is the resultant velocity of the b
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

a)V=18.35 m/s (South -East)

b) t =7.41 m/s

c)D= 66.70 m

Explanation:

Given that

Velocity of boat in east direction = 16 m/s

Velocity of river = 9 m/s

a)The resultant velocity V

V=\sqrt{16^2+9^2}\ m/s

V=18.35 m/s (South -East)

b)

We know that

Distance = Velocity x time

Lets t time takes to cross the river

136 = 18.35 x t

t =7.41 m/s

c)

   The distance covered downstream  

We know that

Distance = Velocity x time

t= 7.41 s

D= 7.41 x 9 m

D= 66.70 m
