Answer:

Explanation:

Yes she is doing work. With or without the groceries, she is still doing work. She does more work with the groceries than without because Work is defined by F which is defined by mass. The mass increases with the groceries.

The work done is against the force of gravity.

What is the resistivity of a wire of 1.3 mm diameter, 2.3 m length, and 61 ms resistance. Number Units The number of significant

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

$\rho = 3.68 *10^{-8} Ω. m$

Explanation:

The resistance is given as

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

Where A IS Cross sectional area of wire $= \pi r^{2}$

therefore resistivity \rho can be wrtten as

$\rho = \frac{\pi Rd^{2}}{4L}$

Putting all value to get resistivity value $\rho =\frac{\pi* 61*10^{-3}* (1.33*10^{-3})^{2}}{4*2.3}$

$\rho = 3.68 *10^{-8} Ω. m$

Your GPS shows that your friend’s house is 10.0 km away. But there is a big hill between your houses and you don’t want to bike

kati45 [8]

Answer:

The value is $c = 8 \ km$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance of friends house from your point is $a = 10 \ km$

The distance of your friends street from your street is $b = 6 \ km \ in the \ direction \ towards \ the \ north$

The diagram illustrating this question is shown on the first uploaded image

From the diagram we can apply by Pythagoras theorem as follows

$a^2 = b^2 + c^2$

=> $c = \sqrt{^2 - b^2}$

=> $c = \sqrt{ 10^2 - 6^2}$

=> $c = 8 \ km$

You push a 1.30 kg physics book 2.80 m along a horizontal tabletop with a horizontal push of 1.55 N while the opposing force of

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass m= 1.3kg

distance moved s= 2.8m

opposing frictional force= 0.34N

assume g= 9.81m/s^2

we know that work done= force *distance moved

1. work done to push the book= 1.55*2.8=4.34J

2. Work against friction = force of friction x distance

= 0.34*2.8=0.952J

Step two:

the work done on the book is the net work, which is

Network done= work done to push the book- Work against friction

Network done= 4.32-0.952=3.36J

<u>Therefore the work of the 1.55N 3.36J</u>

Bess [88]

Answer:

C. 85%

Explanation:

A cylinder fitted with a piston exists in a high-pressure chamber (3 atm) with an initial volume of 1 L. If a sufficient quantity of a hydrocarbon material is combusted inside the cylinder to produce 1 kJ of energy, and if the volume of the chamber then increases to 1.5 L, what percent of the fuel's energy was lost to friction and heat?

A. 15%

B. 30%

C. 85%

D. 100%

work done by the system will be

W=PdV

p=pressure

dV=change in volume

3tam will be changed to N/m^2

3*1.01*10^5

W=3.03*10^5*(1.5-1)

convert 0.5L to m^3

5*10^-4

W=3.03*10^5*5*10^-4

W=152J

therefore

to find the percentage used

152/1000*100

15%

100%-15%

85% uf the fuel's energy was lost to friction and heat
