Answer:

c. Work is - on the way up and + on the way down

Explanation:

Work done is given as the product of the applied force and the displacement of the object.

Work done = F x d

Work done = mg x d

where;

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

When the ball goes up, it moves against the force of gravity which tends to pull every object downwards. Since the ball moves against gravity, the work done is negative.

Also, when the ball goes down, it moves in the direction of gravity which acts downwards. Since the ball moves in the same direction as gravity, the work done is positive.

The correct option is "C. Work is negative (-) on the way up and positive (+) on the way down"

stira [4]

Answer:

24 cm/s

Explanation:

Applying

Pythagoras theorem,

a² = b²+c²............. Equation 1

Where a = resultant, b = vertical component, c = horizontal component

From the question,

Given: a = 26 cm/s, c = 10 cm/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

26² = b²+10²

676 = b²+100

b² = 676-100

b² = 576

b = √576

b = 24 cm/s

Blown balloon kept outside on a sunny day bursts what will happen to the ballon​
Advocard [28]

When the balloon is kept in the sun, due to Sun's heat, the kinetic energy of gaseous particles inside the balloons also gets increased and the balloon expands. This will increase the pressure on the walls of the balloon. It continues to expand and comes to a stage when the baloon bursts.

g Describe how an electron can possess the properties of both a particle and a wave. How do the wave properties of electrons rel
nalin [4]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

According to Louis de Broglie, matter has an associated wavelength. Hence, there exist no clear cut difference between matter and wave. Matter may be regarded as a wave and vice versa depending on the behavior of each under the given circumstances.

According to Heisenberg uncertainty principle, the position and momentum of matter can not be simultaneously determined with precision. This further reinforces the wave-particle concept of the electron.

When electrons are passed through crystals, they are diffracted just like electromagnetic waves. This further reinforces the wave-particle paradox.

According to The Heisenberg uncertainty principle, the wave property of electrons determine their exact location in space
