Work is done when a person at rest holds a package vertically a. true b. false

Physics
1 answer:
Ksivusya [100]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Work= F*D and since the box isn't moving moved resulting in its displacement equalling 0, the work done on the package is 0.

Explain how the sun's position in the sky affects the length of shadows.
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The position of the sun affects the size of a shadow. A person or object blocks more light when the sun is low in the sky. More blocked light makes shadows longer. ... The sky turns dark when your part of Earth spins away from the sun.

You perform nine (identical) measurements of the acceleration of gravity (units of m/s2): 10.1,9.87, 9.76, 9.91, 9.75, 9.88, 9.6
AveGali [126]

Answer:

0.01

Explanation:

Given the data:

10.1,9.87, 9.76, 9.91, 9.75, 9.88, 9.69, 9.83, 9.90

True value = 9.81

Mean value :

Σx / n

Sample size, n = 9

(10.1 + 9.87 + 9.76 + 9.91 + 9.75 + 9.88 + 9.69 + 9.83 + 9.90) / 9

= 88.69 / 9

= 9.854

Standard deviation (σ) :

Sqrt (Σ(X - m)² / n)

[(10.1 - 9.854)^2 + (9.87 - 9.854)^2 + (9.76 - 9.854)^2 + (9.91 - 9.854)^2 + (9.75 - 9.854)^2 + (9.88 - 9.854)^2 + (9.69 - 9.854)^2 + (9.83 - 9.854)^2 + (9.90 - 9.854)^2] / 9

Sqrt(0.113824 / 9)

Sqrt(0.0126471)

σ = 0.1124593

Standard Error = σ / sqrt(n)

Standard Error = 0.1124593 / 9

Standard Error = 0.0124954

Standard Error = 0.01 ( 1 significant digit)

A red laser from the physics lab is marked as producing 632.8-nm light. When light from this laser falls on two closely spaced s
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

The wavelength is  \lambda_R  =  649 *10^{-9}\ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The wavelength of the red laser is  \lambda_r  =  632.8 \ nm =  632.8 *10^{-9}\ m

    The spacing between  the fringe is  y_r  =  6.00\ mm =  6.00*10^{-3}  \  m

   The spacing between  the fringe for smaller laser point  is  y_R   = 6.19 \ mm =  6.19 *10^{-3} \  m

      Generally the spacing between  the fringe is mathematically represented as

       y  =  \frac{D *  \lambda  }{d}

Here  D is the distance to the screen

    and  d is the distance of the slit separation

Now for both laser red light light and  small laser  point  D and  d are same for this experiment

So

         \frac{y_r}{\lambda_r}  =  \frac{D}{d}

=>      \frac{y_r}{\lambda_r}  = \frac{y_R}{\lambda_R}

Where \lambda_R  is the wavelength produced by the small laser pointer

  So

           \frac{6.0 *10^{-3}}{ 632.8*10^{-9}}  = \frac{ 6.15 *10^{-9}}{\lambda_R}

=>       \lambda_R  =  649 *10^{-9}\ m

Calculate the potential energy of a rock that has a 45 kg mass and is sitting
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

P.E = 13230 J

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of the rock, m = 45 Kg

The rock is sitting at a height from the ground, h = 30 m

The acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

The potential energy of the body is given by the formula,

                            P.E = mgh joules

Substituting the given values in the above equation

                             P.E = 45 x 9.8 x 30

                                   = 13230 J

Hence, the potential energy of the rock is P.E = 13230 J
