Karen has a mass of 51.9 kg as she rides the up escalator at Woodley Park Station of the Washington D.C. Metro. Karen rode a dis

tance of 63.1 m, the longest escalator in the free world. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . How much work did the escalator do on Karen if it has an inclination of 26◦ ? Answer in units of J.

Answer:

28852 J

Explanation:

When a force applied in a body produces a displacement in it, the force realized a work. The force that moves Karen is contrary to her weight and must be equal to it.

The work (W) is:

W = F.d.cos(θ), where F is the force, d is the displacement, and θ is the angle.

Knowing that cos(26°) = 0.899, and F = m*g

W = 51.9*9.8*63.1*0.899

W = 28852 J

How will a current change if the resistance of a circuit remains constant while the voltage across the circuit decreases to half
beks73 [17]

Answer:

1. The current will drop to half of its original value.

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using Ohm's law:

V=RI

where

V is the voltage across the circuit

R is the resistance of the circuit

I is the current

We can rewrite it as

I=\frac{V}{R}

In this problem, we have:

- the resistance of the circuit remains the same: R' = R

- the voltage is decreased to half of its original value: V'=\frac{V}{2}

So, the new current will be

I'=\frac{V'}{R'}=\frac{V/2}{R}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{V}{R}=\frac{I}{2}

so, the current will drop to half of its original value.

What is the speed of an object at rest
sammy [17]
The speed of an object is measured by calculating the distance it travels per unit time.
The formula in Physics for calculating speed is = distance/ time.

Since an object at rest is not covering any distance, the speed is always assumed to be 0 m/s.

A thin spherical shell has a radius of 0.70 m. An applied torque of 860 N m gives the shell an angular acceleration of 4.70 rad/
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

I=182.97\ kg-m^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of a spherical shell, r = 0.7 m

Torque acting on the shell, \tau=860\ N

Angular acceleration of the shell, \alpha =4.7\ m/s^2

We need to find the rotational inertia of the shell about the axis of rotation. The relation between the torque and the angular acceleration is given by :

\tau=I\alpha

I is the rotational inertia of the shell

I=\dfrac{\tau}{\alpha }\\\\I=\dfrac{860}{4.7}\\\\I=182.97\ kg-m^2

So, the rotational inertia of the shell is 182.97\ kg-m^2.

If distance between two charges increased by 2 times then force
kati45 [8]

Explanation:

The size of the force varies inversely as the square of the distance between the two charges. Therefore, if the distance between the two charges is doubled, the attraction or repulsion becomes weaker, decreasing to one-fourth of the original value.
