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.

Explain how a helicopter lifts itself up, from a Newton's 3rd Law perspective,

Lerok [7]

When a helicopter engine spins the main rotor, it generates torque (see How a Helicopter Works), an equal and opposite reaction. Torque makes it so that the engine itself wants to spin.

Consider an ideal gas at 27.0 degrees Celsius and 1.00 atmosphere pressure. Imagine the molecules to be uniformly spaced, with e

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

The length of an edge of each small cube is 3.43 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Temperature of ideal gas =27.0°C

Pressure = 1.00 atm

We need to calculate the length of an edge of each small cube

Using gas equation

$PV=nRT$

$PV=NkT$

$V=\dfrac{NkT}{P}$

For, N = 1

Where,

N = number of molecule

k = Boltzmann constant

T = temperature

P= pressure

Put the value into the formula

$V=\dfrac{1\times1.38\times10^{-23}\times(27+273)}{1.03\times10^{5}}$

$V=4.019\times10^{-26}\ m^3$

Now, for the cube

$V=L^3$

$L=V^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$L=(4.019\times10^{-26})^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$L=3.43\times10^{-9}\ m$

$L=3.43 nm$

Hence, The length of an edge of each small cube is 3.43 nm.

Ozone in the upper atmosphere absorbs energy in the 210-230 nmnm range of the spectrum. In what region of the electromagnetic sp

kifflom [539]

Answer:

Ultraviolet

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is divided into a number of parts. One of which is the ultraviolet region. The ultraviolet region is found between the 100 nm - 400 nm band of the electromagnetic spectrum. From the range we just stated now, we can see for certainty that the given range 210 nm - 230 nm lies inside of the 100 nm c 400 nm of the electromagnetic spectrum, that of which is the ultraviolet region.

A beaker of negligible heat capacity contains 456 g of ice at -25.0°C. A lab technician begins to supply heat to the container a

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

176 min

Explanation:

456 g = .456 kg

Specific heat of ice s = 2093 J kg⁻¹

Heat required to raise the temperature by 25 degree

= mass x specific heat x rise in temperature.

= .456 x 2093 x 25

=23860 J

Heat required to melt the ice to make water at zero degree

= mass x latent heat

= .456 x 334 x 10³

=152304 J

Total heat required = 152304 + 23860 = 176164 J .

Time Required = Heat required / rate of supply of heat

= 176164 / 1000

176.16 min

Why is the sum of forces/net force less than the applied force? Think about the direction of the forces in your answer

Reil [10]

Answer:

he same direction the magnitude of the resultant is equal to the scalar sum of the magnitude of the forces, but if they are applied in different directions the magnitude must be found using the Pythagorean theorem

Explanation:

When there are several applied forces, if they are all in the same direction the magnitude of the resultant is equal to the scalar sum of the magnitude of the forces, but if they are applied in different directions the magnitude must be found using the Pythagorean theorem, so which the resulting dowry is less than the sum of the magnitudes.

Let's carry out an example with two forces, F1 and F2 of equal magnitudes

if they are in the same direction

F_total = F₁ + F₂ = 2 F

if they are at 90º

F_total = $\sqrt{F_1^2 + F_2^2}= \sqrt{2} \ F$

if they are at 180º

F_total = F₁ -F₂ = 0
