<span>Answer: Fn is the force acting on the nut and d is the distance of the nut from the pivot. F is the applied force at one end and D is the distance of the end from the pivot. F.D = Fn*d</span>

Why is it important to know the direction of the force applied to a moving object and the direction in which the object is movin
erastova [34]

Answer

(C).

When there is an angle between the two directions, the cosine of the angle must be considered.


Step by step Solution

The work done by a force is defined as the product of the force and the distance traveled in the direction of motion.

The first answer "Only the component of the force perpendicular to the motion is used to calculate the work" is wrong because, the force perpendicular to motion does no work.

The second choice "If the force acts in the same direction as the motion, then no work is done" is wrong because the work in the direction of the force is W=F\times d.

Fourth answer "A force at a right angle to the motion requires the use of the sine of the angle" is wrong because the sin(90)=0 meaning that there is no work done in the direction perpendicular to the motion.

The third answer" When there is an angle between the two directions, the cosine of the angle must be considered." is correct because the work is calculated using the force in the direction of the motion. The magnitude of this force is F\times d\times \cos(\theta).

A hot iron ball of mass 200 g is cooled to a temperature of 22°C from 100°C. How much heat was
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Q= -6900 J

Explanation:

use the formula Q=mC(T_2 - T_1) and sub in givens

Q=mC(T_2 - T_1)

Q= (200 g)(0.444 J/g°C)(22-100)

Q= -6900 J

The negative sign means heat is lost, which agrees with the decrease in temperature

Janetta ran a campaign for student body president, and she really wanted to win. She gave election buttons to everyone and told
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

No, because she is hoping that people will vote for her.

Explanation:

Altruism is when you do something for others and have very little expectation of getting something in return. In this case, Janetta expected something in return from her friends. We may not also be sure of the sincerity of Janetta appreciating friendship. From the above definition of altruism, we conclude that Janetta's actions are not altruistic because she hoped that people will vote for her.
