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.

How much work is needed to push a 117- kg packing crate a distance of 2.75 m up an inclined plane that makes an angle of 28 o wi

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

$W_{tot,min} = 1481.372\,J$

Explanation:

The minimum total work is the work needed to counteract the work associated with the weight:

$W_{tot, min} = W_{F}$

$W_{tot,min} = m\cdot g\cdot \sin \theta \cdot \Delta s$

$W_{tot,min} = (117\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (\sin 28^{\textdegree}) \cdot (2.75\,m)$

$W_{tot,min} = 1481.372\,J$

Light of wavelength 608.0 nm is incident on a narrow slit. The diffraction pattern is viewed on a screen 88.5 cm from the slit.

Effectus [21]

Answer:

The width of the slit is 0.167 mm

Explanation:

Wavelength of light, $\lambda=608\ nm=608\times 10^{-9}\ m$

Distance from screen to slit, D = 88.5 cm = 0.885 m

The distance on the screen between the fifth order minimum and the central maximum is 1.61 cm, y = 1.61 cm = 0.0161 m

We need to find the width of the slit. The formula for the distance on the screen between the fifth order minimum and the central maximum is :

$y=\dfrac{mD\lambda}{a}$

where

a = width of the slit

$a=\dfrac{mD\lambda}{y}$

$a=\dfrac{5\times 0.885\ m\times 608\times 10^{-9}\ m}{0.0161\ m}$

a = 0.000167 m

$a=1.67\times 10^{-4}\ m$

a = 0.167 mm

So, the width of the slit is 0.167 mm. Hence, this is the required solution.

A small package is attached to a helium-filled balloon rising at 2 m/s. The package drops from the balloon when it is 14 meters

scZoUnD [109]

I would assume air resistance is negligible and so the acceleration of the package would be approximately 9.81 m/s².

Taking downwards as positive, use v²=u²+2as.
v²=(-2)²+2(9.81)(14)
v=16.7 m/s
