Answer:

Simple answer: Yes

Explanation:

Even if you touch an item with a stick you re still doing work to it, most of the time something sitting on a table not being disturbed is having work done to it. Everything has the force of gravity working on it to essentially keep the items from floating away so workis being done to it.

Work done can be something so small (e.g) a pencil sitting on a table) or as big as an earthquake or kicking a ball through a window and smashing the glass.

Woman has a near point of 75.0 cm. What focal length, f, is necessary for the corrective lens so that he can hold his physics bo

Komok [63]

Answer:

The focal length of the lens must be 27.3cm

Explanation:

Image distance= -75 cm

Object distance= 20.0cm

From:

1/v + 1/u = 1/f

-1/75+ 1/20 = 1/f

11/300= 1/f

f= 300/11

f= 27.3cm

The focal length of the lens must be 27.3cm

A hiker walks 20.51 m at 33.16 degrees. What is the Y component of his displacement?

Serhud [2]

Answer:

<em>The y component of his displacement is 11.22 meters</em>

Explanation:

<u>Components of the displacement</u>

The displacement is a vector because it has a magnitude and a direction. Let's suppose a displacement has a magnitude r and a direction θ, measured with respect to the positive x-direction. The horizontal component of the displacement is calculated by:

$x=r\cos\theta$
