The speed of a car travelling over a hill that has a radius of curvature should not exceed a certain speed other it will topple. This speed is related to the radius of curvature and the gravitational acceleration as shown below:

V^2 = Rg, where V = maximum speed, R = Radius of curvature, g = gravitational acceleration.

Substituting;
V = Sqrt (Rg) =  Sqrt (120*9.81) = 34.31 m/s

if only conductive heat loss was significant for a house then by what percentage would you lower the heat loss fi the temp was r
Maslowich
I think the conductive heat loss is proportional to the DIFFERENCE
between the inside and outside temperatures.  In other words, if it's the
same temperature inside and outside, then no matter what that temperature
is, no heat flows through the walls of the house in either direction.

You said it's 20° outside, and you turn the thermostat down from 70° to 60°.
So you'd be reducing the DIFFERENCE between the inside and outside
temperatures from 50° to 40°.

From 50 to 40 is a decrease of (10/50) = 20%.  So your heat loss ... and
the amount that gets added to your heating bill ... becomes 20% less for
each hour that the inside and outside temperatures stay like this.

A force of 20 newtons is used to much a box a distance of 2 meters. How much work was done?
aev [14]

Answer:

40 J

Explanation:

In the case of a rectilinear movement, the work is calculated as the product of Force (N) * movement (m). In your case, unless the angle between the force vector and the displacement vector is different from 0, the work is:

20 N * 2 m = 40 J
