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.

How is it technically correct to say that a car making a u-turn can have a constant speed but cannot have a constant velocity?
saw5 [17]

During the "U" part of the turn, the car would follow an approximately circular path, and if it's moving at a constant speed, it would have to accelerate toward the center of the circle in order to change its direction.

1.- Se desea elevar un cuerpo de 1500kg utilizando una elevadora hidráulica de plato grande
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

181.48 N

Explanation:

Calculate the area :

Area = pi * r² ;

pi = 3.14 ; r1 = 90cm /100 = 0.9m ; r2 = 10/100 = 0.1m

Area 1, A1 = 3.14 * 0.1² = 0.0314 m²

Area 2, A2 = 3.14 * 0.9² = 2.5434 m²

Force, F = mass * acceleration due to gravity

F2 = 1500 * 9.8 = 14700 N

Force 1 / Area 1 = Force 2 / Area 2

Force 1 = (Force 2 / Area 2), * Area 1

Force 1 = (14700 / 2.5434) * 0.0314

Force = 5779.6650 * 0.0314

= 181.48 N
