The book is lifted upward, but gravity points down, so the work done by gravity must be negative (so you can eliminate options 1 and 3).
The force exerted on the book by gravity has magnitude
<em>F</em> = <em>mg</em> = (10 N) (9.80 m/s^2) = 9.8 N ≈ 10 N
You raise the book 1.0 m in the opposite direction, so the work done is
<em>W</em> = (10 N) (-1.0 m) = -10 J
Answer:
Strong nuclear force
Explanation:
The particles in the atom's nucleus bond together because there is a strong nuclear force between the protons and neutrons that attracts them to each other and binds together the nucleus.
Answer:
691200 J
Explanation:
From specific heat capacity,
ΔQ = cmΔt.................. Equation 1
Where ΔQ = increase in thermal energy, c = specific heat capacity of the body, m = mass of the man, Δt = rise in temperature.
Given: c = 3.6 kJ/kg.°C = 3600 J/kg.°C, m = 96 kg, Δt = 39-37 = 2 °C.
Substitute into equation 1
ΔQ = 3600×96×2
ΔQ = 691200 J.
Hence the change in the thermal energy of the body = 691200 J
