Can physics measure the work a porter does? What do you need to know to measure a porters work? What produces work, and how is p

ower different from work?

Answer:

No

Explanation:

According to physics, the work done by porter is zero but in reality porter gets tired as muscular energy is being used up.

In physics, work is the dot product of force and displacement. when the porter moves with the luggage, the weight act downwards while the porter moves forward. The angle between force and displacement is 90°. Thus, work done by the porter is zero.

The muscles are doing work in this case which is not calculated in physics.

Power is the rate of energy consumed during the work.

what did classical physics predict about electron flow as a result of light shining on a metal surface?
stiv31 [10]
This looks like the photo electric effect ... classical physics reckoned that if you shone an intense enough light beam on a metal you could get electrons ejected from the metal (maybe in analogy to thermionic emission - heat). It sort of "forgot" about the frequency and photon/particle nature of light.
Enter the "photo electric" effect experiment, Einstein's explanation, and the Nobel committee having an excuse to award E a Nobel prize, even though said prize was probably more for relativity.

A solid uniform disk of diameter 3.20 m and mass 42 kg rolls without slipping to the ) bottom of a hill, starting from rest. If
Semenov [28]

Answer:

(A) = 3.57 m

Explanation:

from the question we are given the following:

diameter (d) = 3.2 m

mass (m) == 42 kg

angular speed (ω) = 4.27 rad/s

from the conservation of energy

mgh = 0.5 mv^{2} + 0.5Iω^{2} ...equation 1

where

Inertia (I) = 0.5mr^{2}

ω = \frac{v}{r}

equation 1 now becomes

mgh = 0.5 mv^{2} + 0.5(0.5mr^{2})(\frac{v}{r})^{2}

gh = 0.5 v^{2} + 0.5(0.5)(v)^{2}

4gh = 2v^{2} + v^{2}

h = 3v^{2} ÷ 4 g .... equation 2

  from ω = \frac{v}{r}

 v  = ωr  = 4.27 x (3.2 ÷ 2)

v = 6.8 m/s

now substituting the value of v into equation 2

h = 3v^{2} ÷ 4 g

h = 3 x (6.8)^{2} ÷ (4 x 9.8)

h = 3.57 m

Given the indices of refraction n1 and n2 of material 1 and material 2, respectively, rank these scenarios on the basis of the p
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

c>d>f=a>b>e

Explanation:

When a pair of medial has greater difference between the their individual refractive indices with respect to vacuum then it has a greater deviation between the refracted ray and the incident ray.

According to the Snell's law:

\rm refractive\ index\ (n)=\frac{speed\ of\ light\ in\ the\ incident\ medium}{speed\ of\ light\ in\ the\ refracted\ medium}

a)

n_1-n_2=1.33-1.00\\=0.33

b)

n_2-n_1=1.46-1.33

=0.23

c)

n_2-n_1=2.42-1.33\\=1.09

d)

n_2-n_1=1.46-1.00\\=0.46

e)

n_1-n_2=1.50-1.33\\=0.17

f)

n_2-n_1=1.33-1.00\\=0.33

c>d>f=a>b>e

A moving sidewalk 95 m in length carries passengers at a speed of 0.53 m/s. One passenger has a normal walking speed of 1.24 m/s
Archy [21]

Answer:

a) t = 1.8 x 10² s

b) t = 54 s

c) t = 49 s

Explanation:

a) The equation for the position of an object moving in a straight line at constan speed is:

x = x0 + v * t

where

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

v = velocity

t = time

In this case, the origin of our reference system is at the begining of the sidewalk.

a) To calculate the time the passenger travels on the sidewalk without wlaking, we can use the equation for the position, using as speed the speed of the sidewalk:

x = x0 + v * t

95 m = 0m + 0. 53 m/s * t

t = 95 m/ 0.53 m/s

t = 1.8 x 10² s

b) Now, the speed of the passenger will be her walking speed plus the speed of th sidewalk (0.53 m/s + 1.24 m/s = 1.77 m/s)

t = 95 m/ 1.77 m/s = 54 s

c) In this case, the passenger is located 95 m from the begining of the sidewalk, then, x0 = 95 m and the final position will be x = 0. She walks in an opposite direction to the movement of the sidewalk, towards the origin of the system of reference ( the begining of the sidewalk). Then, her speed will be negative ( v = 0.53 m/s - 2*(1.24 m/s) = -1.95 m/s. Then:

0 m = 95 m -1.95 m/s * t

t = -95 m / -1.95 m/s = 49 s
