If the child pulls with a force of 20 N for 12.0 m , and the handle of the wagon is inclined at an angle of 25 ∘ above the horiz
lilavasa [31]

Answer: 217.52 N

Explanation: The applied force is 20 N, the distance covered is 12.0 m and the angle is 25° above the horizontal.

Hence the formulae that defines work done is given by

W = Force × distance

But since the force has been inclined at an angle θ above the horizontal, the horizontal component of force is neccesary to produce the required motion to make the child do work on the wagon.

Hence

Work done = (horizontal component of force) × distance

Work done = F cos θ × distance

Work done = 20 cos 25 × 12 = 217.52 N

Gold, which has a density of 19.32 g/cm3, is the most ductile metal and can be pressed into a thin leaf or drawn out into a long
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

a) 578.0 cm²

b) 25.18 km

Explanation:

We're given the density and mass, so first calculate the volume.

D = M / V

V = M / D

V = (6.740 g) / (19.32 g/cm³)

V = 0.3489 cm³

a) The volume of any uniform flat shape (prism) is the area of the base times the thickness.

V = Ah

A = V / h

A = (0.3489 cm³) / (6.036×10⁻⁴ cm)

A = 578.0 cm²

b) The volume of a cylinder is pi times the square of the radius times the length.

V = πr²h

h = V / (πr²)

h = (0.3489 cm³) / (π (2.100×10⁻⁴ cm)²)

h = 2.518×10⁶ cm

h = 25.18 km

Which is the correct order of events at a power plant?
GalinKa [24]
The correct answer is A.

A power station works on the principle of boiling water to create steam, which turns a turbine, generating a potential difference in a transformer with the magnets. The transformer is connected to a circuit, which hence induces a current, generating power.

A .422 kg coffee mug rests on a table top 0.63 m above the floor. What is the potential energy of the mug with respect to the fl
kondaur [170]

Answer:

2.61 J

Explanation:

Since potential energy U = mgy where m = mass of object, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and y = height of object above the ground.

Now for the coffee mug, m= 0.422 kg and it is 0.63 m on a table, so it is 0.63 m above the ground. Thus, y = 0.63 m.

We compute U

U = mgy

= 0.422 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 0.63 m

= 2.605 J

≅ 2.61 J

So, the potential energy of the mug with respect to the floor is 2.61 J

A ball is thrown off the top of a building and lands on the ground below.
natita [175]

Answer:

Mass and velocity.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy <u>is the energy that an object has due to its movement</u>, mathematically it is represented as follows:

K=\frac{1}{2} mv^2

where m is the mass of the object, and v is its velocity at a given point in time.

So we can see that to find the kinetic energy just before the ball hits the gound, we need the quantities:

  • mass of the ball
  • velocity of the ball before it hits the ground

With the knowledge of these two quantities the kinetic energy of the ball  before touching the gound can be determined.
