Answer:

b) 5 J

Explanation:

Work is the energy transferred by an object when acted by a force along a displacement. Work is the product of force and displacement. The SI unit of work is the joules (J)

To calculate the work done by the force, we have to first get the displacement (D) of the object. Hence:

Displacement (D) = Q(3, 8) - P(1, 3) = (3 - 1, 8 - 3) = (2, 5) = 2i + 5j

The work done is the dot product of the force and the displacement. Force = 5i - j. Hence:

Work done = (5i - j)(2i + 5j) = 10 - 5 = 5 J

Explain the energy transfer if a book on the edge of a table, falls to the floor. There should be 3 types of energy transfers.

gavmur [86]

Answer:

potential energy

kinetic energy

thermal energy

Explanation:

The book's potential energy can be released by knocking it off the table. As the book falls, its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. When the book hits the floor this kinetic energy is converted into heat and sound by the impact.

An "energy bar" contains 26 g of carbohydrates. For the steps and strategies involved in solving a similar problem, you may view

masha68 [24]

To solve this problem we will apply the definition of Power and Speed. In turn, we will consider that one gram of carbohydrate, according to numerous scientific studies, contributes around 17kJ of energy. Therefore, if this were true, the total energy of 26 grams would be

$E = (26)(17000) = 4.42*10^5J$

Power can be described as the amount of energy applied at a given time, that is,

$P = \frac{E}{t} \rightarrow t = \frac{E}{P}$

$t = \frac{4.42*10^5}{380}$

$t = 1.16*10^3s$

The speed is described as the distance traveled in a certain time, and its units in international system is m / s, converting and replacing we will have

$v = 5km/h(\frac{1000m}{1km})(\frac{1h}{3600s})$

$v = 1.388m/s$

Now,

$v = \frac{d}{t} \rightarrow d = vt$

The distance is,

$d = vt$

$d = (1.388)(1.16*10^3)$

$d = 1610.08m$

Therefore the distance walked is 1610.08m

Which of these cultures did NOT make major contributions to astronomy?

Svetlanka [38]

I can't particularly place what Icelandic contributed.

But every other culture contributed majorly.

So I would go for option b.

Explain how a generator creates electricity.

vlada-n [284]

Generators don't actually create electricity. Instead, they convert mechanical or chemical energy into electrical energy. They do this by capturing the power of motion and turning it into electrical energy by forcing electrons from the external source through an electrical circuit. hope it helps man

explain why earths acceleration is usually very small compared to the acceleration of the object the earth interact with

Marianna [84]

Answer:

F-ma

Explanation:

If you are speaking of objects like satellites, etc. then their mass is much less than that of the Earth. A good approximation is Newton's first law of motion:

Force = Mass × Acceleration

often written:

F = m a

The gravitational force is the same between the Earth and the object - only the mass differs. So the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass.
