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 do sea surface temperatures affect evaporation rate?
kotegsom [21]
<span>Answer: The temperature doesn't affect the evaporation rate, but affects on how much of water a parcel of air can contain when saturated which is known by the absolute humidity. Hurricanes are usually happening when the temperature of the sea water west of the Cape Verde islands is over 27 degrees Celsius. If ahead of the path of a hurricane, the sea water temperature drops then it will be less moisture in the air and perhaps the hurricane will fade out. But it is not as simple. How strong a tropical storm is is relative to the difference of temperture between ground level and the top of the troposphere. The greater the difference, the faster the air will rise and the deeper the pressure will be, forcing surrounding air to rush in, thus forming a hurricane force wind. Then there is the fact that the wet adiabatic lapse rate is about half that of dry air. It means that rising moist air cools down slower and therefore rises higher. Hence water is the true fuel of bad weather. But it can't be isolated from the fact that the difference of temperature must be great too. What we often forget is that the tropopause (the border to the stratosphere) is much higher over the equator and therefore, much colder than e.g. the poles.</span>

In Trial III, a different, looser, spring is used; its force constant is 23.1 N/m. The suspended mass is the same as the one in
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

T=0.827s

Explanation:

The period of a spring can be calculated with the equation

T=2\pi w

But we know as well that w is given by,

w=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

Replacing,

w=\frac{2\pi}{T}= \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\\T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\\T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{0.4}{23.1}}

So we have that

T=0.827s

Mass, volume and density are all properties of
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Properties of matter

Explanation:

All properties of matter are either extensive or intensive and either physical or chemical. Extensive properties, such as mass and volume, depend on the amount of matter that is being measured. Intensive properties, such as density and color, do not depend on the amount of matter.
