Answer:

The escalator does more work and the elevator has a greater power output.

Explanation:

The escalator does more work on the person because it is carrying them up. It also gives the person a chance to walk up the escalator making it a little more challenging than using just an elevator. The elevator has a greater power output because it can transport a person from one floor to another in just 10 seconds where as the escalator can do it in 15.

Hope this helps!

18. Two spaceships are traveling in the same direction. With respect to an inertial frame of reference, spaceship A has a speed
quester [9]

Answer:

v_{A} -v_{B}=v_{AB}\\v_{AB} =0.9c-0.5c\\v_{AB}=0.4c

Explanation:

Because the spaceships are traveling in the same direction, you should subtract the speed of spaceship A from the speed of spaceship B in order to calculate v_{AB}.

How much work is done if you push a 200 N box across a floor with a force of 50 N for a distance of 20m
vovikov84 [41]
<h2>Answer: 1000 J</h2>

The Work W done by a Force F refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path.  

It should be noted that it is a scalar magnitude, and its unit in the International System of Units is the Joule (like energy). Therefore, 1 Joule is the work done by a force of 1 Newton when moving an object, in the direction of the force, along 1 meter:  

1J=(1N)(1m)=Nm  

Now, when the applied force is constant and the direction of the force and the direction of the movement are parallel, the equation to calculate it is:  

W=(F)(d) (1)

When they are not parallel, both directions form an angle, let's call it \alpha. In that case the expression to calculate the Work is:  

W=Fdcos{\alpha} (2)

For example, in order to push the 200 N box across the floor, you have to apply a force along the distance d to overcome the resistance of the weight of the box (its 200 N).  

In this case both <u>(the force and the distance in the path) are parallel</u>, so the work W performed is the product of the force exerted to push the box F=50N by the distance traveled d. as shown in equation (1).

Hence:

W=(50N)(20m)  

W=1000Nm=1000J >>>>This is the work

A satellite is in circular orbit around the earth. The orbit the satellite is at a height of 420 km above the earth's surface. F
astraxan [27]

Answer:

7661.06 m/s

Explanation:

R = Radius of Earth = 6.38\times 10^6\ m

h = Distance from the Earth = 420000 m

G = Gravitational constant = 6.674\times 10^{-11} N m^2/kg^2

M = Mass of Earth = 5.98\times 10^{24}\ kg

V=\sqrt{g{\frac{R^2}{R + h}}}\\\Rightarrow V=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R^2}{\frac{R^2}{R + h}}}\\\Rightarrow V=\sqrt{\frac{6.674\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{(6.38\times 10^6)^2}{\frac{(6.38\times 10^6)^2}{6.38\times 10^6 + 420000}}}\\\Rightarrow V=7661.06\ m/s

The orbital speed of the satellite is 7661.06 m/s
