Fossil fuels have led to an increase in food costs.

Explanation:

Buried organic material over million of years form combustible geologic deposits of organic materials called fossil fuels that can be converted crude oil, natural gas, or coal.

Fossil fuel are currently used as a source of energy in machine and equipment applied in the farming industry. Mechanization has been made possible due to this type of fuel availability thus larger farms have been prepared for cultivation.In addition, other processes such as planting,weeding and harvesting are currently performed by farming machines which are propelled by fossil energy. So in general, fossil fuels in the farming industry has led to increase in amount of crop harvested because more farms are under cultivation and farming process is now mechanized. However, due to use of machines and energy, the production cost has increased, thus to cover for this increased cost, the prices for food products increases, making the cost of food commodities to rise.

Using the idea of work done under gravity, the height of the building is 187 m.

<h3>Work done in a gravitational field</h3>

We must recall that the work done in a gravitational field is given by; mgh

m= mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

mass = 60.0 kg

Workdone = 1.15x10^5 J

W = mgh

h = W/mg

h = 1.15x10^5 J/60.0 kg * 9.8 ms-2

h = 187 m

Question 8

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

It has a mass of 40 kg.

Explanation:

Because Force = mass x Acceleration or F = m a, we could say that the mass is force/acceleration which in your case is 2,400/60 which equals 40 kg.

Answer:

The total work that the rope does to Mangnus is - 5780 Jules.

Explanation:

By definition, the work is defined as:

$W=F.d$

Where F and d are the force and the total displacement. Note that in the definition the product is a scalar product since F and d are both vectors.

Take into account that according to third Newton's law the force that the rope does to Magnus is opposite to the force that Magnus does to the rope, therefore the scalar product will be negative due the rope's force goes against to Magnus displacement.

For calculating the work, we take 2500 N as the value for the force and 2.312 meters as the value for the displacement:

$W=-2500 N * 2.312 m$

$W=-5780 Nm = -5780 J$
