Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 3 \ meters}}$

Explanation:

Work is the product of force and distance.

$W=F*d$

We know the force to lift the rock was 50 Newtons. The work was 150 Joules.

1 Joule is equal to 1 Newton meters.
We can convert the units to make the problem simpler later. The work is also 150 Newton meters.

$W= 150 \ N*m \\F= 50 \ N$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$150 \ N*m= 50 \ N * d$

We want to solve for distance, so we must isolate the variable. Divide both sides of the equation by 50 Newtons.

$\frac{150 \ N*m}{50 \ N }=\frac{50 \ N * d}{50 \ N }$

The Newtons will cancel out.

$\frac{150 \ m }{50} =d \\3 \ m =d$

The rock was lifted <u>3 meters.</u>

A 75 kg Spider Man running at 3.0 m/s jumps onto a trash can lid that has a mass of 10kg and that is already moving in the same

QveST [7]

In order to find the final velocity of the skier and the trash can lid, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum, which states that the total momentum of a system remains constant. Mathematically, in this case:
m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₃v₃
Where m₃ and v₃ are the combined mass and velocity.

75*3 + 10*2 = (75 + 10)*v₃
v₃ = 2.88 m/s

The final velocity is 2.88 m/s

Which situation is the best analogy for the doppler effect?

Rudiy27

The best scenario to describe the doppler effect would be listening to the siren of a passing ambulance or fire truck

then it is coming towards you, the pitch is higher, it gets higher as it approaches and peaks as it gets right in front of you. then it drop at once when it passes you and continues to drop till it fades away. this is a classic descrption of the doppler effect

You’ve made the finals of the science Olympics. As one of your tasks you’re given 1.0 g of copper and asked to make a cylindrica

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Length = 2.92 m

Diameter = 0.11 mm

Explanation:

We have $m = dl D \ \ \& \ \ \ R = \frac{\rho l}{A}$ , where:

$l$ is the length

$m = 1.0 g = 1 \times 10^{-3} \ kg\\R = 1.3 \ \Omega\\\rho = 1.7 \times 10^{-8} \Omega m\\d = 8.96 \ g/cm^3 = 8960 kg/m^3$

We divide the first equation by the second equation to get:

$\frac{m}{R} = \frac{d A^2}{\rho}$

$A^2 = \frac{m \rho}{dR} \\\\A^2 = \frac { 1 \times 10^{-3} \times 1.7 \times 10^{-8}}{8960 \times 1.3}\\\\A^2 = 1.5 \times 10^{-15}\\\\ A= 3.8 \times 10^{-8} \ m^2$
