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

What is the force of lift and its applications​
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

fluid flowing past the surface of a body exerts a force on it. Lift is the component of this force that is perpendicular to the oncoming flow direction.[1] It contrasts with the drag force, which is the component of the force parallel to the flow direction. Lift conventionally acts in an upward direction in order to counter the force of gravity, but it can act in any direction at right angles to the flow.

If the surrounding fluid is air, the force is called an aerodynamic force. In water or any other liquid, it is called a hydrodynamic force.

Dynamic lift is distinguished from other kinds of lift in fluids. Aerostatic lift or buoyancy, in which an internal fluid is lighter than the surrounding fluid, does not require movement and is used by balloons, blimps, dirigibles, boats, and submarines. Planing lift, in which only the lower portion of the body is immersed in a liquid flow, is used by motorboats, surfboards, and water-skis.

A push or a pull on an object is known as a(n)
balu736 [363]
Force is a push or a pull of an object that causes the object to speed up, slow down, or stay in one place. In other words, a force is what causes an object to move. Friction and gravity are two types of forces that influence how an object moves.

The Sun converts 4 × 109 kg of mass to energy every second. How many years would it take the Sun to convert a mass equal to the
natulia [17]

Answer:

4.74 x 10⁷ yr

Explanation:

m = Rate of conversion of mass to energy by sun = 4 x 10⁹ kg/s

t = total time taken to convert mass of earth to energy

M = mass of earth = 5.98 x 10²⁴ kg

Using the equation

M = m t

5.98 x 10²⁴ = (4 x 10⁹) t

t = 1.495 x 10¹⁵ sec

we know that, 1 yr = 3.154 x 10⁷ sec

t = (1.495 x 10¹⁵ sec)  (3.154 x 10⁷ sec)⁻¹ yr

t = 4.74 x 10⁷ yr
