3. A 70 kg person climbs a 6 m ladder. How much work is required by the person?

Physics
1 answer:
Lina20 [59]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

4116J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the person  = 70kg

Height of the ladder  = 6m

Unknown:

Work done  = ?

Solution:

The work done by the person climbing is the same as the potential energy.

Work done is the force applied to move a body through a distance;

So;

   Potential energy  = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height

Therefore;

    Potential energy  = 70 x 9.8 x 6   = 4116J

The circumference of an orbit for a toy on a string is 18 m and the centripetal force is 12 N. Does the centripetal force do any
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Work done is 0.

Explanation:

Given that,

The circumference of an orbit for a toy on a string is 18 m, r = 18 m

Centripetal force, F = 12 N

In the circular path, the centripetal force is always perpendicular to the motion of the object. Thus it makes an angle of 90 degrees with the force and displacement. Hence, we can say that the centripetal force does not do any work on the toy when it follows its orbit for one cycle.

Suppose you want to to double a copper wire's resistance. To what temperature, in degrees Celsius, must you raise it if it is or
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

T=280.41 °C

Explanation:

Given that

At T= 24°C Resistance =Ro

Lets take at temperature T resistance is 2Ro

We know that resistance R given as

R= Ro(1+αΔT)

R-Ro=Ro αΔT

For copper wire

α(coefficient of Resistance) = 3.9 x 10⁻³ /°C

Given that at temperature T

R= 2Ro

Now by putting the values

R-Ro=Ro αΔT

2Ro-Ro=Ro αΔT

1 = αΔT

1 = 3.9 x 10⁻³ x ΔT

ΔT = 256.41 °C

T- 24 = 256.41 °C

T=280.41 °C

So the final temperature is 280.41 °C.

What is kirchoff s law???
kolbaska11 [484]
There are two laws named for Kirchhoff.  The both concern electrical circuits.
Here they are in my own words:

1).  The sum of the voltage drops around any closed loop in a circuit is zero.

2).  The sum of the currents at any single point in a circuit is zero.
