A student is asked to determine the work done on a block of wood when the block is pulled horizontally using an attached string.

The student is supplied with a spring scale, a stopwatch, and a meterstick. Which of the following graphical analysis techniques will allow the student to determine the work done on the block by the string?
A. Graphing the force as a function of time and calculating the slope
B. Graphing the force as a function of time and calculating the area under the curve
C. Graphing the force as a function of distance and calculating the slope
D. Graphing the force as a function of distance and calculating the area under the curve

Answer:

The correct option is (D). "Graphing the force as a function of distance and calculating the area under the curve"

Explanation:

1) As we know from the definition of Work done which is Work = Force × Displacement. Time doesn't have any use in the mentioned equation and thus the stop watch is of no use to us.

2) Using the meter stick, we can measure the distance for which the block is pulled horizontally i.e "Displacement"

3) Using the spring scale, we can calculate the "Force" applied on the block of wood to move it horizontally.

4) For example, lets say that for a constant force of 4 Newtons, the wooden block is pulled horizontally 4 meters. Plotting Force vs Displacement on a graph would yield a horizontal line as shown in the attachment. Area under the F vs D graph will give us the total work done.

1.Calculate the energy transferred by a 12V hairdryer, running on a current of 0.50A, that is left on for 8.0 minutes.
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

1. Energy = 2880 Joules.

2. Energy = 60 Joules.

3. Quantity of charge = 120 Coulombs.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

1. Voltage = 12 Volts

Current = 0.5 Amps

Time, t = 8 mins to seconds = 8 * 60 = 480 seconds

To find the energy;

Power = current * voltage

Power = 12 * 0.5

Power = 6 Watts

Next, we find the energy transferred;

Energy = power * time

Energy = 6 * 480

Energy = 2880 Joules

2. Charge, Q = 4 coulombs

Potential difference, p.d = 15V

To find the total energy transferred;

Energy = Q * p.d

Energy = 4 * 15

Energy = 60 Joules

3. Voltage = 6 Volts

Current = 1 Amps

Time = 2 minutes to seconds = 2 * 60 = 120 seconds

To find the quantity of charge;

Quantity of charge = current * time

Quantity of charge = 1 * 120

Quantity of charge = 120 Coulombs

The brain mass of a human fetus during a particular trimester can be accurately estimated from the circumference of the head by
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

a. If c = 20 cm, then the mass of the brain is m = 5 g.

b. At c = 20 cm, the brain's mass is increasing at a rate of 15.75 g/cm.

Explanation:

From the equation

m\left(c\right) = \frac{c^3}{100}-\frac{1500}{c}

we have

a. for c = 20 cm

m\left(20\right)=\frac{20^3}{100}-\frac{1500}{20}=5,

then the mass is m(20) = 5 g.

b. In order to find the rate of change, first we derivate

\frac{dm}{dc}=\frac{3c^2}{100}+\frac{1500}{c^2}.

Evaluated at c = 20 cm, we have

\frac{dm}{dc}|_{c=20}=\frac{3\times 20^2}{100}+\frac{1500}{20^2}=15.75.

So, at c = 20 cm, the mass of the brain is increasing at a rate of 15.75 g/cm.
