To be able to successfully pull the rope with balance, the work done by person A should be just equal to the work done by person B.

<span>workA = workB  ----> 1</span>

Where: work = force * distance

In this case, force = mass * gravity

So work = mass * gravity * distance

Rewriting equation 1:

<span>massA * gravity * distanceA = massB * gravity * distanceB  ---->2</span>

We know that distanceA + distanceB = 5 m, therefore distanceA = 5 – distanceB. Substituting this to equation 2 and cancelling constant g:

massA * distanceA = massB * distanceB

60 kg * (5 – distanceB) = 40 kg * distanceB

distanceB = 3 m

distanceA = 5 – distanceB = 2 m

 

<span>ratio is: distanceA / distanceB = 2/3 = 0.67</span>

A tow truck drags a stalled car along a road. The chain makes an angle of 30???? with the road and the tension in the chain is 1
My name is Ann [436]

Answer: work = 1,305kJ

Explanation:

angle= 30°

force= 1,500N

distance= 1,000m

The formula for work is : Work= force x distance, however there is an angle of 30° between the direction of force applied and the direction of motion, therefore force must be decomposed to its value on the horizontal axis which is the direction of motion by using the cosine of the very angle.

W= F×cos(α)×D

W= 1,500×cos (30)×1,000

W= 1,305kJ ( kilojoules)

Uranium-235 decays to thorium-231 with a half-life of 700 million years. When a rock was formed, it contained 6400 million urani
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

proof in explanation

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the number of half-lives:

n = \frac{t}{t_{1/2}}

where,

n = no. of half-lives = ?

t = total time passed = 2100 million years

t_{1/2} = half-life = 700 million years

Therefore,

n = \frac{2100\ million\ years}{700\ million\ years}\\\\n = 3

Now, we will calculate the number of uranium nuclei left (n_u):

n_u = \frac{1}{2^{n} }(total\ nuclei)\\\\n_u = \frac{1}{2^{3} }(6400\ million)\\\\n_u = \frac{1}{8}(6400\ million)\\\\n_u =  800\ million

and the rest of the uranium nuclei will become thorium nuclei (u_{th})

n_{th} = total\ nuclei - n_u\\n_{th} = 6400\ million-800\ million\\n_{th} = 5600\ million

dividing both:

\frac{n_{th}}{n_u}=\frac{5600\ million}{800\ million} \\\\n_{th} = 7n_u

<u>Hence, it is proven that after 2100 million years there are seven times more thorium nuclei than uranium nuclei in the rock.</u>

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

He made great advancements in developing a logical way to know more about the universe and celestial entities inside the space. And this theory is termed to be heliocentric in nature.

Explanation:

  • In early times most of the people believed that our planet Earth is the center of the universe or the solar system and rest of the celestial entities move around it in a given path, so, it confused the well known scientist named as Galileo Galilei. As, he observed the different dark patches or shadow like textures on the face of the Sun.
  • While, it is more obvious to known that any object having multiple small shadows means that it is present inside such a region that all of the celestial entities move or orbit around it in a given way.So, he concluded that planet Earth itself move around the red Giant in a given way rather then being the center of the universe.
