3 0

Answer:

Zero because the applied force is perpendicular to the motion of the object.

No work is done on an object moving is a circular path about a central attractive force.

Any work done in such a case would result in a change in the orbit.

A machine takes 0.5 seconds to move a brick 1 meter and put 100 Joules of energy into it. (hint: Power is the amount of energy t

Flauer [41]

Answer:

200 Watts.

Explanation:

Power is defines as the amount of work expended per unit time. Mathematically, it is expressed as Power = Workdone/Time

Given parameters

Energy used up 100Joules

Distance moved by brick = 1 meters

Time taken by the machine = 0.5 secs

Power can also be written as Energy/Time

Required

We need to calculate the amount of power used up.

Power = 100J/0.5s

Power = 100/(1/2)

Power = 100 * 2/1

Power = 200Watts.

This shows that the machine would expend 200Watts of power

Rocks A and B are located at the same height on top of a hill. The mass of rock A is twice the mass of rock B. How does the pote

Ronch [10]

Potential energy is defined by formula

$U = mgh$

here

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

Now here two different stones are located at same height

while mass of stone A is twice that of stone B

so here we can say potential energy of A is

$U_a = (2m)gh$

Similarly potential energy of B is

$U_b = mgh$

now if we take the ratio of two energy

$\frac{U_a}{U_b} = 2$

so we can say potential energy of stone A is two times the potential energy of B
