Answer:

W= - 300 J

Explanation:

Given that

Mass ,m= 2 kg

Horizontal distance ,x= 20 m

Vertical distance ,y= 15 m

As we know that gravity force always acts in the downward direction

F= m g

The displacement of the object is in upward direction

d= -15 m

The work done by a force given as

W= F.d

Now by putting the values

W= - 2 x 10 x 15                ( Take g= 10 m/s²)

W= - 20 x 15

W= - 300 J

Therefore the work done by gravitational force will be -300 J.

Answer:

W = 294 J

Explanation:

given,

mass of the projectile = 2 Kg

horizontal displacement = 20 m

vertical displacement = 15 m

work done by the gravitational force = ?

the work done by gravitational force only account for vertical motion.

force due to gravity =  m g

                                 = 2 x 9.8 = 19.6 N

work done is equal force x displacement

W = F x s

W = 19.6 x 15

W = 294 J

Light from a lamp is shining on a surface. how can you increase the intensity of the light on the surface?
vlada-n [284]
The intensity of a light in a surface follows the inverse square law formula which can be mathematically expressed as,
                         I = k/d²
where I is intensity, d is distance, and k is the proportionality constant. For us to increase the intensity, we should lower the distance from the source to the surface.

A girl is bouncing on a trampoline where is her gravitational potential energy a maximum and where is her kinetic energy maximum
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

When you jump down, your kinetic is converted to potential energy of the stretched trampoline. The trampoline's potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which is transferred to you, making you bounce up. At the top of your jump, all your kinetic energy has been converted into potential energy. Right before you hit the trampoline, all of your potential energy has  been converted back into kinetic energy. As you jump up and down your kinetic energy increases and decrease.

Someone plans to float a small, totally absorbing sphere 0.500 m above an isotropic point source of light,so that the upward rad
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

468449163762.0812 W

Explanation:

m = Mass = \rhoV

V = Volume =\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3

r = Distance of sphere from isotropic point source of light = 0.5 m

R = Radius of sphere = 2 mm

\rho = Density = 19 g/cm³

c = Speed of light = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

A = Area = \pi R^2

I = Intensity = \dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Force due to radiation is given by

F=\dfrac{IA}{c}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}{\pi R^2}}{c}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{PR^2}{4r^2c}

According to the question

F=mg\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{PR^2}{4r^2c}=\rho \dfrac{4}{3}\pi R^3g\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{16r^2\rho c\pi Rg}{3}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{16\times 0.002\times 19000\times \pi\times 0.5^2\times 9.81\times 3\times 10^8}{3}\\\Rightarrow P=468449163762.0812\ W

The power required of the light source is 468449163762.0812 W

As a rough approximation, the human body may be considered to be a cylinder of length L=2.0m and circumference C=0.8m. (To simpl
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Thermal Power = 460W

Explanation:

From Stephan-Boltzmann Law Formula;

P = єσT⁴A

Where,

P = Radiation energy

σ = Stefan-Boltzmann Constant

T = absolute temperature in Kelvin

є = Emissivity of the material.

A=Area of the emitting body

Now, σ = 5.67 x 10^(-8)

є = 0.6

Temperature = 30°C and coverting to kelvin = 30 + 273 = 303K

Area ; since we are to consider the sides of the human body as 2m and 0.8m,thus area = 2 x 0.8 = 1.6

Thus thermal power = 0.6 x 5.67 x 10^(-8) x303⁴ x 1.6 = 458. 8W

Normally, we approximate to the nearest 10W. Thus, thermal power is approximately 460W
