What task requires the most work, lifting a 12-kg sack 2 meters or lifting a 25-kg sack 1 meter?

Physics

MrMuchimi2 years ago

Multiply the masses by the respective distances:

(12 kg) (2 m) = 24 J

(25 kg) (1 m) = 25 J

so the heavier bag takes more work to lift, and (b) is the answer.

(d) is technically correct if the sacks are carrying different contents whose masses are not equal, but since we don't know what's inside each sack, assume 12 kg and 25 kg are the masses of each sack *and* their contents.

Which sequence correctly reflects the order in which electrical charges occur during an action potential, from first to last?
Lady_Fox [76]
This sequence refer to how neurons send messages electrochemically. When the neurons are at rest, they are at its resting potential at -70 millivolts. If the neurons in the brain send messages, a spike would occur until it reaches the threshold potential at -55 mV. If it reaches the threshold potential, then an action potential occurs.Hence, the sequence would be letter C.

You are given three pieces of wire that have different shapes (dimensions). You connect each piece of wire separately to a batte
VikaD [51]

Answer:

R_3 < R_1 < R_2

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire is given by:

R=\frac{\rho L}{A}

where

\rho is the resistivity of the material

L is the length of the wire

A is the cross-sectional area of the wire

1) The first wire has length L and cross-sectional area A. So, its resistance is:

R_1=\frac{\rho L}{A}

2) The second wire has length twice the first one: 2L, and same thickness, A. So its resistance is

R_2=\frac{2\rho L}{A}

3) The third wire has length L (as the first one), but twice cross sectional area, 2A. So, its resistance is

R_3=\frac{\rho L}{2A}

By comparing the three expressions, we find

R_3 < R_1 < R_2

So, this is the ranking of the wire from most current (least resistance) to least current (most resistance).

A parallel-plate capacitor is constructed of two square plates, size L×L, separated by distance d. The plates are given charge ±
gladu [14]

Answer:

E(final)/E(initial)=2

Explanation:

Applying the law of gauss to two parallel plates with  charge density equal σ:

E=\sigma/\epsilon_{o}=Q/(L^{2}*\epsilon_{o})\\

So, if the charge is doubled the Electric field is doubled too

E(final)/E(initial)=2

A woman on a bicycle traveling at 10 m/s on a horizontal road stops pedaling as she starts up a hill inclined at 4.0º to the hor
IrinaK [193]
The kinetic energy K = 0.5 * m * v² must be equal to the potential energy U = m * g * h.

m mass
v velocity
h height
g = 9.81m/s²

The mass m cancels out:
0.5 * v² = g * h
Solve for height h and transform to distance traveled.
(sin (4°) = height / distance)
