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"

If a train travels 80 miles north, 60 miles east, what’s the magnitude of its total displacement? Find the solution by drawing a
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

100 miles North East.

Explanation:

Please see attached photo for diagram.

In the attached photo, X represents the magnitude of the total displacement of the train.

Thus, we can obtain the value of X by using the pythagoras theory as illustrated below:

X² = 80² + 60²

X² = 6400 + 3600

X² = 10000

Take the square root of both side

X = √10000

X = 100 miles.

Therefore, the magnitude of the total displacement of the train is 100 miles North East.
