Answer: a) i) 0 ii) 0  b) i) 0 ii) -25.1 J

Explanation:

a) For the first part, as work is defined as the process through an applied force produces a displacement in the direction of the movement, if the start and the end points are the same (as for a complete circle), this means that there is no displacement, i.e. total work (for any applied force) is 0.

b) Taking only a semicircle from the lowest to the highest point on the path, as tension force is always perpendicular to the displacement, we can conclude that the tension force does no work.

Now, for gravity, the displacement, is just the difference in height between the highest and lowest point, which is equal to twice the length of the string, and is a vector with only a vertical component, as follows:

Δy = y₂ - y₁ (by definition of displacement)

Now, the work done by gravity is just the product of the weight of  the ball, times the vertical displacement (as the work done by gravity is independent of the trajectory) , as follows :

W = m. g. (y₂-y₁) = 0.8 Kg. 9.8 m/s². (-2. 1.6 m) = -25.1 J

(The minus sign is due to gravity and the displacement point in opposite directions, in this case we take as positive the downward direction).

If one light bulb burns out in a string of lights, and the rest stay lit, it is reasonable to assume that the lights are wired i
Blizzard [7]
The lights are wired in PARALLEL.

In fact, when the lights are connected in parallel, they are connected on separate branches to the source of voltage, so if one light bulb burns out, the other lights continue to work because the current continues to flow in the other branches of the circuit.

Vice-versa, if the light bulbs are connected in series, they are on the same branch This means that if one of them burns out, the circuit is open in that point, so the current cannot flow anymore and the other light bulbs turn off as well.

Identify two factors you must know to describe the motion of an object along a straight line
Sveta_85 [38]

In order to describe motion along a straight line, you must state the speed and direction of the motion. Those two quantities, together, comprise what's known as "velocity".

Polly is pushing a box across the floor with a force of 30 N. The force of gravity is -8 in, and the normal force is eight in. W
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

A. -30 N

Explanation:

not sure but if the box isn't moving then the force opposite of Polly would be equal to the force she's exerting.
