Ice-skater slides toward a sled sitting on the ice and hits it. The skater exerts a 12.6 N force on the sled at an angle of 15.3

° below the horizontal. The sled then moves 15.4 m forward. How much work did the skater do on the sled? Assume friction is negligible.

Answer:

Expression of work done is

W = Fd cos\theta

Work done to move the sled is given as 187.2 J

Explanation:

As we know that the formula of work done is given as

W = Fd cos\theta

here we know that

F = 12.6 N

d = 15.4 m

\theta = 15.3 degree

so we will have

W = 12.6 \times 15.4 cos15.3

W = 187.2 J

Answer:

READ THIS FIRST!!!

I am not going to right the parragraph (it says to use your own words, they could trace it back to me if you use my words, and you would get it trouble).

But I will tell you the forces acting on the pencil:

Gravity (pulls on the pencil)

Your hand (pushing it up canceling out gravity)

And the electromagnetic force (holding the thing together)

Hope it helped,

Have a good day

Which of these statements is true about endothermic reactions, but not about exothermic reactions?
sashaice [31]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. For endothermic reactions, the reactants have less energy than the products. Which would mean that energy should be added to the reaction for it to proceed. Hope this answers the question.

You are designing an optical fiber scope for directing light into a confined area. You want to keep light within the fiber. Base
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

 For entry of light into tube of unknown refractive index

sin ( 90 - 25 ) / sinr = μ , μ is the refractive index of the tube , r is angle of refraction in the medium of tube

r = 90 - C where C is critical angle between μ and body medium in which tube will be inserted.

sin ( 90 - 25 ) / sin( 90 - C)  = μ

sin65 / cos C = μ

sinC = 1.33 / μ  , where 1.33 is the refractive index of body liquid.

From these equations

sin65 / cos C = 1.33 / sinC

TanC = 1.33 / sin65

TanC = 1.33 / .9063

TanC = 1.4675

C= 56°

sinC = 1.33 / μ

μ = 1.33 / sinC

= 1.33 / sin56

= 1.33 / .829

μ = 1.6   Ans
