The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

A floating ice block is pushed through a displacement vector d = (15m)i - (12m)j along a straight embankment by rushing water, which exerts a force vector F = (210N)i - (150N)j on the block. How much work does the force do on the block during displacement?

Answer: W = 4950J

Explanation: <u>Work</u> (W), in physics, is done when a force acts on an object that has a displacement form a place to another:

W = F · d

As the formula shows, Work is a scalar product, i.e, it results in a number, so, Work only has magnitude.

Force and displacement for the ice block are in 2 dimensions, then work will be:

W = (210)i - (150)j · (15)i - (12)j

W = (210*15) + (150*12)

W = 3150 + 1800

W = 4950J

During the displacement, the ice block has a work of 4950J

The planet of an item will remain constant across the planet, but if you give it more mass, the gravitational force increases while the acceleration due to gravity remains constant.

<h3 /><h3>What is the difference between mass and weight?</h3>

The mass of the body is defined as the amount of matter a body has. It is denoted by m and its unit is kg. Mass is the quantity on which a lot of physical quantity depends.

Weight is defined as the amount of force an object exerts on the surface. It is given as the product of mass and the gravitational pull.

Mass is an independent quantity it never depends on the other. While weight is a dependent quantity that depends upon the gravitational pull.

The value of gravitational pull is different in the different parts of the universe. For example, on the earth, the value of gravitational acceleration is 9.81 m/sec².While on the moon it is g/6.

Weight is change according to the place or surrounding while the mass of the body is constant everywhere.

The planet of an item will remain constant across the cosmos, but if you give it more mass, the gravitational force increases while the acceleration of gravity remains constant.

If a planet's gravity weakens, the weight of that planet will likewise be altered. With an increase in mass, weight also rises.

Hence, the gravitational force increases while the acceleration due to gravity remains constant for the given case.

How much GPE is stored when an 80kg astronaut climbs to the top of a 5m high lunar lander? The gravity strength on the moon is 1
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The GPE, stored is 640 Joules

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The given mass of the astronaut, m = 80 kg

The height of the top of the lunar lander to which the astronaut climbs, h = 5 m

The gravity strength on the moon, g = 1.6 N/kg

The Gravitational Potential Energy, GPE, stored is given according to the following equation;

GPE stored = m·g·h

Therefore, by substituting the known values, we have;

GPE Stored = 80 kg × 1.6 N/kg × 5 m = 640 Joules

The GPE, stored = 640 Joules.

In one sentence describe how the electricity in an action potential is generated
vova2212 [387]

Due to influx of potassium ions, electricity is generated in axon of a neuron.  

<u>Explanation:</u>

Axon membrane is the semi permeable membrane that is full of potassium and sodium channels. There’s also Sodium Potassium ATPase pumps. When there’s an impulse coming through the synapse, the potassium channels open. This leads to influx of sodium from outside the membrane to inside it. Then the membrane becomes positive.

Then the electricity is generated and its conducted from one part to another. After the impulse is conducted, the sodium potassium pumps come in action which transports 3 sodium inside and 2 potassium outside in consumption to an ATP.

How can one object affect the motion of another without touching it?​
stealth61 [152]

By non-contact forces (e.g. gravitational force and electric force)

Explanation:

In order for an object to exert a force on another object, the two object can also be not touching each other. In fact, there exist some non-contact forces in nature.

Concerning macroscopic objects, the two main non-contact forces acting between objects are:

- The gravitational force: this force is exerted between every object that has mass. It is always attractive, and its magnitude is given by

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

- The electric force: this force is exerted between objects that have electric charge. It can be either attractive or repulsive, and its magnitude is given by

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where:

k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant

q_1, q_2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

. An object has a position given by ~r(t) = [3.0 m − (4.00 m/s)t]ˆı + [6.0 m − (8.00 m/s2 )t 2 ]ˆ , where all quantities are in
kupik [55]

Answer:

(c) 16 m/s²

Explanation:

The position is r(t) = [3.0 \text{ m} - (4.00 \text{ m/s})t]\hat{i} + [6.0 \text{m} - (8.00 \text{ m/s}^2 )t^2 ]\hat{j}.

The velocity is the first time-derivative of <em>r(t).</em>

<em />v(t) = \dfrac{d}{dt}r(t) = -4.00\,\hat{i} -16t\,\hat{j}<em />

The acceleration is the first time-derivative of the velocity.

a(t) = \dfrac{d}{dt} v(t) = -16\hat{j}

Since <em>a(t)</em> does not have the variable <em>t</em>, it is constant. Hence, at any time,

a = -16\hat{j}

Its magnitude is 16 m/s².
