Answer:

You will do twice the work of climbing 1 stair.

Explanation:

To obtain the answer to the question, we shall determine the work done on each case. This is illustrated below:

Case 1 ( climbing 2 stairs):

Mass (m) = m

One stair = 4 m

Height (h) = 2 × 4 = 8 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Workdone 1 (Wd₁) =?

Wd₁ = mgh

Wd₁ = m × 10 × 8

Wd₁ = 80 × m

Case 2 (Climbing 1 stair)

Mass (m) = m

Height (h) = 4 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Workdone 2 (Wd₂) =?

Wd₂ = mgh

Wd₂ = m × 10 × 4

Wd₂ = 40 × m

Now comparing the Workdone in both case:

Workdone 1 (Wd₁) = 80 × m

Workdone 2 (Wd₂) = 40 × m

Wd₁ / Wd₂ = 80 × m / 40 × m

Wd₁ / Wd₂ = 2

Cross multiply

Wd₁ = 2 × Wd₂

Thus, we can see that the Workdone in climbing 2 stairs is twice the Workdone in climbing 1 stair.

Therefore, you will do twice the work of climbing 1 stair.

Adaptive radiation is demonstrated by ____
Vlad1618 [11]

X-rays are high energy electrons that can cause damage when exposed under extreme conditions. The best technology that can block it is using a lightweight type of metal foam. It can take in high energy collisions which also exhibits high forces. it does not only block x-rays but also, neutron radiation and gamma rays.

A ball is thrown from ground level so as to just clear wall 4m height at distance 4m from wall and falls 14 m from wall . Veloci
kolbaska11 [484]
Ok, this is a 2d kinematics problem,  the falls 14 m part is confusing, I think it means in the x direction, but you don't need it anyway.

If we know it goes 4m into the air, we know  d = 4m (height of wall), we also know the acceleration a=-9.8m/s^2 (because gravity) and that the vertical velocity when it just clears the wall will be 0 m/s, which we'll call our final velocity (Vf). Using Vf^2 = Vi^2 +2a*d, we can solve this for Vi and drop Vf because it's zero to get: Vi = sqrt(-2ad), plug in numbers (don't forget a is negative) and you get 8.85 m/s in the vertical direction. The x-direction velocity requires that we solve the y-direction for time, using Vf= Vi + at, we solve for t, getting t= -Vi/a, plug in numbers t= -8.85/-9.8 = 0.9 s. Now we can use the simple v = d/t (because x-direction has no acceleration (a=0)), and plug in the distance to the wall and the time it takes to get there v = (4/.9) = 4.444 m/s, this is the velocity in the x direction, we use Pythagoras' theorem to find the total velocity, Vtotal = sqrt(Vx^2 + Vy^2), so Vtotal = sqrt(8.85^2+4.444^2) = 9.9m/s. Yay physics!

victus00 [196]

Electric field lines always begin at positive charges (or at infinity) and end at negative charges (or at infinity).

One could also say that the lines we use to represent an electric field indicate the direction in which a positive test charge would initially move when released from rest.
