Answer:

W = 1222.4 J = 1.22 KJ

Explanation:

The work done on an object is the product of the force applied on it and the displacement it covers as a result of this force. It must be noted that the component of displacement in the direction of force should only be used. Hence, the work can be calculated as:

W = F d Cosθ

where,

W = Work Done = ?

F = Force Applied = 64 N

d = Distance Covered by Box = 19.1 m

θ = Angle between force and displacement = 0°

Therefore,

W = (64 N)(19.1 m)Cos 0°

<u>W = 1222.4 J = 1.22 KJ</u>

IgorC [24]

Answer:

Part A:

Distance=864000 m=864 km

Part B:

Energy Used=ΔE=8638000 Joules

Part C:

\frac{\triangle m}{m}=0.004998=0.49985\%

Explanation:

Given Data:

v=20m/s

Time =t=12 hours

In Secs:

Time=12*60*60=43200 secs

Solution:

Part A:

Distance = Speed**Time

Distance=v*t

Distance= 20*43200

Distance=864000 m=864 km

Part B:

Energy Used=ΔE= Energy Required-Kinetic Energy of swans

Energy Required to move= Power Required*time

Energy Required to move=200*43200=8640000 Joules

Kinetic Energy=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

K.E\ of\ Swans=\frac{1}{2} *10*(20)^2=2000\ Joules

Energy Used=ΔE=8640000 -2000

Energy Used=ΔE=8638000 Joules

Part C:

Fraction of Mass used=Δm/m

For This first calculate fraction of energy used:

Fraction of energy=ΔE/Energy required to move

ΔE is calculated in part B

Fraction of energy=8638000/8640000

Fraction of energy=0.99977

Kinetic Energy=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

Now, the relation between energies ratio and masses is:

\frac{\triangle E}{E}=\frac{\triangle m}{2m}v^2

\frac{\triangle m}{m}=\frac{2}{v^2} *\frac{\triangle E}{E}\\\frac{\triangle m}{m}=\frac{2}{20^2} *0.99977

\frac{\triangle m}{m}=0.004998=0.49985\%

From the following statements about mechanical waves, identify those that are true for transverse mechanical waves only, those t
Dominik [7]

'In transverse waves, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction of the flow of energy' is true for transverse waves only.

'In longitudinal waves, the particles of the medium move parallel to the direction of the flow of energy' is true for longitudinal waves only.

'Many wave motions in nature are a combination of longitudinal and transverse motion' is true for both longitudinal and transverse waves.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Longitudinal waves are those where the direction of propagation of particles are parallel to the medium' particles. While transverse waves propagate perpendicular to the medium' particles.

As wave motions are assumed to be of standing waves which comprises of particles moving parallel as well as perpendicular to the medium, most of the wave motions are composed of longitudinal and transverse motion.

So the option stating the medium' particle moves perpendicular to the direction of the energy flow is true for transverse waves. Similarly, the option stating the medium' particle moves parallel to the direction of flow of energy is true for longitudinal waves only.

And the option stating that wave motions comprises of combination of longitudinal and transverse motion is true for both of them.

An object moves from the position +16m to the position +43m in 12s. What us the total displacement
NeX [460]

First method

initial distance = 16m

final distance= 43 m

total distance covered= final -initial

                                     =43m -16m

                                     =27m

Second method

Si= 16m

Sf =43 m

t= 12 s

first we will find V

V =  (Sf-Si)/ t

V =( 43- 16)/ 12

V = 27/12  ⇒ V= 9/4

V= distance / time

distance= V×time

distance = (9/4) ×12

distance =27

What are the wavelengths of electromagnetic wave in free space that have the following frequencies?.
irina [24]

The wavelengths of the light are 4.3 * 10^-12 m and 0.2 m respectively.

<h3>What is wavelength?</h3>

The term wavelength has to do with the horizontal distance that is covered by a wave. We know that a long wavelength implies that the wave is able to travel a long distance from one point to another.

Given that;

c = λf

c = speed of light

λ = wavelength of ight

f = frequency of light

Thus;

λ = 3 * 10^8/ 7.00 x 10^19

λ = 4.3 * 10^-12 m

λ = 3 * 10^8/1.50 x 10^9

λ = 2 * 10^-1 or 0.2 m
