Answer:

The sun

Explanation:

In this system the energy of the sun heats the water in the pipe, producing a high pressured steam, which is used for moving a turbine and producing electricity, is a transformation of energy from solar to thermal, then to mechanical to electrical.

A 4kg book sits on a table and your pet hamster puts his front paws on the book and pushes down with a force of 3N. What is the
Natali [406]
There are three forces acting on the book. 
1. Force due to gravity
2. Force exerted downward by the hamster
3. Normal Force in reaction to the downward forces

Since the book is not moving, the net force is zero. The summation of all forces must be zero. Then we could find the normal force which is unknown (denoted as x).

∑F = -(4 kg)(9.81 m/s2) - 3 N + x =0
∑F = -39.24 N - 3N + x =0
x = 42 N

Therefore, the normal force is 42 N.

A 75.0-kg person climbs stairs, gaining 2.50 m in height. Find the work done to accomplish this task.
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

W=1837.5J

Explanation:

A force exerts work when there is a displacement of its point of application in the direction of that force. Therefore, the work done by a system is defined as the inner product between the applied force and the displacement:

W=\vec{F}\cdot \vec{d}\\W=Fcos\theta d

In this case, we have:

F=mg\\h=dcos\theta

So, replacing this:

W=mgh\\W=75kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^2}*2.5m\\W=1837.5J

a flowerpot falls from a windowsill 25m above the sidewalk how fast is the flowerpot moving when it strikes the ground
Mariana [72]

s = 25m

v = ?

a = 9.81m/s²

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0 + 2x9.81x25

v² = 490.5

v = √490.5

= 22.15m/s
