<h2>Answer:</h2>

d. An object did work on the environment.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Work is defined in many contexts. Some of these are;

i. <em>Work is the product of force and displacement</em>. In this case, work done is positive if the force applied on an object or body and the displacement caused by the force are in the same direction. If instead the force and displacement are in opposite direction, then the work done will be negative. If it is the case the force and the displacement are perpendicular to each other, the work done is zero.

ii. In the first law of thermodynamics, the internal energy of a system is the sum of the work done and the heat exchanged between the system and the environment. Therefore, <em>work done is the difference between the internal energy of a system and the heat exchanged between the system and the environment</em>.

In this case, work is said to be positive if work is done by the system (object) on the environment. It is negative if work is done by the environment on the system (object).

4. An aluminium bar weighs 17 kg in air. How much force is required
kkurt [141]

Explanation:

1ml = 2.7g

Xml = 1.5g

Divide 1.5 by 2.7 to find X.

Obviously, since 1.5 is less than 2.7, you know the answer will be less than 1.

The Moon orbits the Earth in an approximately circular path. The position of the moon as a function of time is given by: x(t) =
Aleks [24]

Answer: Average Velocity = - 643.42 i + 512.66 j m/s

Magnitude = 822.7 m/s

Direction = 141.45°

Explanation:

r = 3.84 x 10^8 m

w = 2.46 x 10^-6 rad/s

Formula for Average velocity = displacement / time

at t = 0

x(0) = r

y(0) = 0

at t = 8.45 days

= 8.45 x 24 x 3600 s =730080 sec

w t = 2.46 x 10^-6 x 730080 = 1.80 rad Or 102.90°

xf = r cos(w t) = - 0.2233r

yf = r sin(w t) = 0.9747r

Displacement = (xf - x0)i + (yf - y0)j = -1.2233r i + 0.9747r j

<v> = dispalcement / t = (-1.2233r i + 0.9747r j ) / (730080 s )

= - 643.42 i + 512.66 j m/s

Magnitude

= sqrt(643.42^2 + 512.66^2)

= 822.7 m/s

Direction

= 180 - tan^-1(512.66 / 643.42)

= 141.45°

A 60 w (120 v) night light is turned on for an average 12 h a day year round. part a what is the annual cost of electricity at a
Zinaida [17]

The annual cost of electricity is $28.908 .

work done is equal to energy consumed

therefore total energy is calculated as power times the duration of operation .

W=P.t

where W= work done

            P=power

            t= time of operation

therefore,

total work done (W)=0.06×12×365 kw

=262.8 kw

so total annual electricity bill = 262.8×0.11

=$28.908
