Answer:

If the system consists of the block only, the work done by the gravity is negative.

If the system consists of the block and the earth the work done by the gravity is zero.

Explanation:

If the system consists of the block only, then the system experiences two external forces: one exerted by the hand that lifts the block vertically upward and other exerted by the earth (gravity), which is opposed to the movement of the system, so the work done by gravity is negative.

On the other hand, if the system consists of the block and the earth, then only exists a external force which is the exerted by the hand. So, the force exerted by gravity is zero.

How much energy is released when a proton combines with a deuterium nucleus to produce 3He?
slava [35]

Answer:

E =  7.99 *10^{-13} J

Explanation:

the given reaction is

_1 H^1 + _1 H^2 = _2 He^3

we know that energy is given asE = \Delta mc^2E = (m_1 H^1 + m_1 H^2  - _2 He^3)c^2

where

m_1 H^1 is mass of proton = 1.672622 *10^{-27}

m_1 H^2 is mass of deuterium = 3.344494 *10^{-27}

m_2 H^3 is mass of He = 5.008234 *10^{-27}

E = [1.672622 *10^{-27} + 3.344494 *10^{-27} - 5.008234 *10^{-27} ] *(3*10^8)^2

E =  7.99 *10^{-13} J

a net force of 1,800 N is applied to a boat causing it to accelerate at 1.5 m/s^2. what is the mass of the boat?
Xelga [282]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 1200 kg</h3>

Explanation:

The mass of an object can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{f}{a}  \\

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

m =  \frac{1800}{1.5}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>1200 kg</h3>

Hope this helps you
