Answer:

The work done on the box is 80 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of box = 40 N

Distance = 2 meter

We need to calculate the work done

Using formula of work done

$W=F\times x$

$W=mg\times x$

Where, x = distance

mg = weight

Put the value into the formula

$W=40\times2$

$W= 80\ Nm$

$W=80\ J$

Hence, The work done on the box is 80 J.

A book on a 2-meter high shelf has a mass of 0.4 kg. What is its potential energy?

poizon [28]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 7.84 \ Joules}}$

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy is:

$PE=m*g*h$

where m is the mass, g is the gravitational acceleration, and h is the height.

The mass of the book is 0.4 kilograms. The gravitational acceleration on Earth is 9.8 m/s². The height of the book is 2 meters.

$m=0.4 \ kg \\g=9.8 \ m/s^2 \\h=2\ m$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$PE=(0.4 \ kg)(9.8 \ m/s^2)(2 \ m)$

Multiply the first two numbers.

0.4 kg*9.8 m/s²= 3.92 kg*m/s²
If we convert the units now, the problem will be much easier later on.
1 kg*m/s² is equal to 1 Newton. So, our answer of 3.92 kg*m/s² is equal to 3.92 N

$PE=(3.92 \ N )(2 \ m)$

Multiply.

3.92 N* 2 m=7.84 N*m
1 Newton meter is equal to 1 Joule (this is why we converted the units).
Our answer is equal to 7.84 Joules.

$PE=7.84 \ J$

Two forces act on a 6.00-kg object. One of the forces is 10.0 N. If the object accelerates at 2.00 m/s2

liubo4ka [24]

Given :

Two forces act on a 6.00-kg object. One of the forces is 10.0 N.

Acceleration of object 2 m/s².

To Find :

The greatest possible magnitude of the other force.\

Solution :

Let, other force is f.

So, net force, F = 10 + f.

Now, acceleration is given by :

$a=\dfrac{F}{mass}\\\\a= \dfrac{10+f}{6}\\\\\dfrac{10+f}{6}=2\\\\f = 12 - 10\\\\f = 2 \ N$

Therefore, the greatest possible magnitude of the other force is 2 N.

Hence, this is the required solution.

6. Given that white light contains all colors of the spectrum, what growth result would you expect under white light?

lesya692 [45]

You could probably expect normal plant growth, as a white light is similar to the sun in the respect that it contains all colors of the spectrum.
