Answer:

Since the weight of the ant is not given, we cannot determined the work done.

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance covered  = 150m

Unknown:

Work done by mouse  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to understand that work done is the force applied to move a body through a certain distance.

In this case, work done;

    Work done  = force x distance

     Work done  = Weight x distance

Since the weight of the ant is not given, we cannot determined the work done.

The weight of a block on the inclined plane is 500 N and the angle of incline is 30 degrees. What is the magnitude of the force
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

250 N

433 N

Explanation:

N = Normal force by the surface of the inclined plane

W = Weight of the block = 500 N

f = static frictional force acting on the block

Parallel to incline, force equation is given as

f = W Sin30

f = (500) Sin30

f = 250 N

Perpendicular to incline force equation is given  

N = W Cos30

N = (500) Cos30

N = 433 N

How does radioactive decay work
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown of an atomic nucleus resulting in the release of energy and matter from the nucleus. Remember that a radioisotope has unstable nuclei that does not have enough binding energy to hold the nucleus together.

A sand mover at a quarry lifts 2,000 kg of sand per minute a vertical distance of 12 m. The sand is initially at rest and is dis
Marianna [84]

Answer:

<h2>E. 3.95kW</h2>

Explanation:

Power is defined as the rate of workdone.

Power = Workdone/time taken

Given Workdone = Force * distance

Power = Force * distance/time taken

Power = mgd/t (F = mg)

m = mass of the sand in kg

g = acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

d = vertical distance covered in metres

t = time taken in seconds

Given m = 2000kg, d = 12m, t = 1min = 60secs, g = 9.8m/s²

Power = 2000*9.8*12/60

Power = 3920Watts

Minimum rate of power that must be supplied to this machine is 3920Watts or 3.92kW

Light shined through a single slit will produce a diffraction pattern. Green light (565 nm) is shined on a slit with width 0.210
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:(a)9.685 mm

(b)4.184 mm

Explanation:

Given

Wavelength of light (\lambda )=565nm \approx 565\times 10^{-9}m

Width of slit(b)=0.210

(a)Width of central maximum located 1.80m from slit

=\frac{2\lambda L}{b}

=\frac{2\times 565\times 10^{-9}\times 1.8}{0.210\times 10^{-3}}

=9.685 mm

(b)Width of the first order bright fringe

Y_1=\frac{\lambda \times L}{b}

Y_1=\frac{565\times 10^{-9}\times 1.8}{0.210\times 10^{-3}}

Y_1=4.84mm
