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

What elements compose the stars and planets in the universe
Savatey [412]

Well hydrogen would be the main element, as a process called nuclear fusion with both helium and hydrogen atoms occurs within stars. And planets are the products of dead stars that have burned through their supplies of hydrogen, helium, and carbon. Planets are a product of this.

A sound source emits 20.0 W of acoustical power spread equally in all directions. The threshold of hearing is 1.0 × 10-12 W/m2.
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

0.0018 W/m²

Explanation:

Power and intensity are related as:

I=\frac{P}{4\pi r^2}

P=  20.0 W (given)

r = 30.0 m (given)

I=\frac{20.0}{4\pi(30.0)^2}=0.0018 W/m^2

Intensity in decibels:

I(dB)=10log\frac{I}{I_o}\\=10log\frac{0.0018}{10^{-12}}=92.5 dB

A 16-slug mass is raised by 10 ft. the PE of the mass increased by?
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

<em>The PE of the mass increased by 6,972.95 J</em>

Explanation:

<u>Gravitational Potential Energy</u>

It's the energy stored in an object because of its vertical position or height in a gravitational field.

It can be calculated with the equation:

U=m.g.h

Where m is the mass of the object, h is the height with respect to a fixed reference, and g is the acceleration of gravity or 9.8 m/s^2.

We are given the mass of m=16 slug raised by a height h=10 ft. Both units will be converted to SI standard:

1 slug = 14.59 Kg, thus

16 slug = 16*14.59 Kg=233.44 Kg

1 ft = 0.3048 m, thus:

10 ft = 10*0.3048 m = 3.048 m

Thus, the PE of the mass increased by:

U = 233.44 * 9.8 * 3.048 = 6,972.95 J

the PE of the mass increased by 6,972.95 J
