Firlakuza [10]3 years ago

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.

In Europe, gas cost approximately €0.98 per liter. How many dollars($) per gallon is this? ​ using a factor method
bixtya [17]

Answer:

€0.98 per liter = 4.377 doller per gallon

Explanation:

It is given that, In Europe, gas cost approximately €0.98 per liter. We need to convert it into dollars($) per gallon.

We know that, 1 euro = 1.18 United States Dollar

1 litre = 0.264172 US gallon

Cost of gas in Europe is €0.98 per liter.

0.98\ \text{euro/ liter}=\dfrac{0.98\times 1.18\ \text{doller}}{0.264172\ \text{gallon}}\\\\=4.377\ \text{doller/gallon}

Ask Your Teacher A basketball player shoots toward a basket 5.8 m away and 3.0 m above the floor. If the ball is released 1.7 m
const2013 [10]

Answer:

The answer to your question is    vo = 5.43 m/s

Explanation:

Data

distance = d= 5.8 m

height = 3 m

height 2 = 1.7 m

angle = 60°

vo = ?

g = 9.81 m/s²

Formula

              hmax = vo²sinФ/ 2g

Solve for vo²

              vo² = 2ghmax / sinФ

Substitution

              vo² = 2(9.81)(3 - 1.7) / 0.866

Simplification

              vo² = 19.62(1.3) / 0.866

              vo² = 25.51 / 0.866

              vo² = 29.45

Result

              vo = 5.43 m/s

1. James drives 400 km in 5 hours to his grandmothers. What are the units for speed going to be?
Airida [17]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

1. Speed is calculated as the ratio of distance and time. Hence, Jame's speed can be calculated as:

       400/5 km/hr = 80 km/hr

The unit for the speed would be km/hr. This can also be converted to m/s:

80 km = 80,000 m

1 hr = 3,600 s

80 km/hr = 80,000/3600 m/s = 22.22 m/s

2. Since James drove 400 km in 5 hours, the distance he drove is 400 km.

3. The time it took for James to get there is 5 hours.
