An athlete is working out in the weight room. He steadily holds 50 kilograms above his head for 10 seconds. Which statement is t

rue about this situation?
The athlete isn’t doing any work because he doesn’t move the weight.
The athlete isn’t doing any work because he doesn’t hold the weight long enough.
The athlete is doing work because he prevents the weight from falling downward.
The athlete is doing work because 50 kilograms is a significant load to lift.

Answer: The true statement form the given statements is "the athlete is not doing any work because he does not move the weight.".

Explanation:

The formula for work done is as follows,

W = Fscos\theta

Here, F is the force, s is the displacement and theta is the angle between force and displacement.

In the given problem, an athlete holds 50 kg on his head for 10 seconds. The angle between force and displacement is 90 degree.

In this case, the work done is zero.

Therefore, the athlete is not doing any work because he does not move the weight.

<span>The athlete is sweating, straining, sweating, trembling and groaning. 
But if he passed high school physics, then he may remember that
'work' in physics means (force) x (distance).  If there's no distance,
then there's no work. 

He realizes that he isn’t doing any work because he's not moving the weight.</span>

Stu wanted to calculate the resistance of a light bulb connected to a 4.0-V battery, with a resulting current of 0.5 A. He used
Margarita [4]

Answer:

The answer is not correct.

Explanation:

Stu's answer is not correct, the equation to use is known as the law of ohm. In which the voltage is defined as the product of the current by the resistance, then we will see this equation.

V = I*R\\where:\\I = current [amp]\\R = resistance [ohm]\\V = voltage [volts]\\

In order to find resistance, this term is found multiplying the current on the right side of the equation, therefore the current will be divided on the left side of the equation.

R=\frac{V}{I} \\replacing:\\R=\frac{4}{0.5} \\R=8[ohms]

That is the reason that the result found by Stu is not correct.

Consider an alcohol and a mercury thermometer that read exactly 0 oC at the ice point and 100 oC at the steam point. The distanc
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

No, both the thermometers will give the different reading.

Explanation:

Given,

  • Both thermometer has same ice point = T_i\ =\ 0^o C
  • Both thermometer has same steam point = T_s\ =\ 100^o C
  • Distance between the ice point and steam point in both the thermometer is same of 100 division,

All the data given in both the thermometers are same, but the material in the thermometer is different due to this the reading at 60^o C will differ in both the thermometer. Because the reading on both the thermometer is depended upon the thermal expansion of the material inside it, but both the materials are different. Due to this the rise of fluid in the thermometer, i,e,. the volume of the fluid material in the thermometer will depend upon the thermal expansion.  Hence both the material alcohol and mercury have the different thermal expansion, therefore the rise of the fluid in the thermometer also differ in both the thermometer.

11–8 Consider a heavy car submerged in water in a lake with a flat bottom. The driver’s side door of the car is 1.1 m high and 0
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Explanation:

position of centre of mass of door from surface of water

= 10 + 1.1 / 2

= 10.55 m

Pressure on centre of mass

atmospheric pressure + pressure due to water column

10 ⁵ + hdg

= 10⁵ + 10.55 x 1000 x 9.8

= 2.0339 x 10⁵ Pa

the net force acting on the door (normal to its surface)

= pressure at the centre x area of the door

= .9 x 1.1 x 2.0339 x 10⁵

= 2.01356 x 10⁵ N

pressure centre will be at 10.55 m below the surface.

When the car is filled with air or  it is filled with water , in both the cases pressure centre will lie at the centre of the car .

In an experiment you are performing, your lab partner has measured the distance a cart has traveled: 28.4inch. You need the dist
alexgriva [62]

As per the question the distance travelled by  a car is 28.4 inch.

we are asked to determine the  conversion factor in centimeter  which when multiplied with 28.4 inch will give a unit.

we know that one inch =2.54 centimeter.

Hence 28.4 inch = 2.54  ×28.4 cm

                            =72.136 cm.

Now we have to determine the conversion factor .The multiplication factor is calculated as    P =\frac{28.4 inch*2.54cm}{1 inch}

                         p= 72.136 cm        [p is the multiplication factor.]

Hence the multiplication factor is 72.137 cm which will give unit conversion when multiplied with 28.4 inch.
