The same constant force is used to accelerate two carts of the same mass, initially at rest, on horizontal frictionless tracks.

The force is applied to cart A for twice as long a time as it is applied to cart B. The work the force does on A is WA; that on B is WB. Which statement is correct?
a. WA = WB
b. WA = 2WB.
c. WA=4WB
d. WB= 2WA

Answer:

Option (c).

Explanation:

Let the mass of each cart is m and the force is F.

Time for cart A is 2t and for cart B is t.

Work done is given by the

W= force x displacement

As the distance is given by

S= u t +0.5 at^2

So, when the time is doubled the distance is four times.

So, WA = F x 4 S

WB = F x S

WA= 4 WB

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

y = 67.6 feet,   y = 114.4/ (22 - 3t)

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use that light travels in a straight line and some trigonometric relationships, the symbols are in the attached diagram

Large triangle Projector up to the screen

         tan θ = y / L

For the small triangle. Projector up to the person

         tan θ = y₀ / (L-d)

The angle is the same, so we equate the two equations

         y₀ / (L -d) = y / L

         y = y₀  L / (L-d)

The distance from the screen (d), we look for it with kinematics

         v = d / t

        d = v t

we replace

         y = y₀ L / (L - v t)

         y = 5.2 22 / (22 - 3 t)

         y = 114.4 (22 - 3t)⁻¹

This is the equation of the shadow height change as a function of time

For the suggested distance the shadow has a height of

           y = 114.4 / (22-13)

           y = 67.6 feet

madam [21]

Answer:

Light does not need a medium to travel travel through, but since waves must have a medium to vibrate, sound is not created where no air is present.

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

c) Very dangerous and users must not override devices designed to protect from exposures.

Explanation:

X-ray is a form of high energy electromagnetic radiation and are part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

X-ray radiation from diffraction and fluorescence instruments is very dangerous because of their high energy and wavelength.

Hence, users must not override devices designed to protect from exposures. The best shielding device to protect one from exposure is Lead.

How did people studying lunar eclipses learn that Earth is round?
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Scientists have studied eclipses since ancient times. Aristotle observed that the Earth's shadow has a circular shape as it moves across the moon. He posited that this must mean the Earth was round. Another Greek astronomer named Aristarchus used a lunar eclipse to estimate the distance of the Moon and Sun from Earth
