Brandi poses as Lady Justice for a skit in her government class. She holds a set of scales above her head with her right hand an

d a sword by her side in her left hand. She holds the pose for 10 minutes. At the end of the skit, she mentions to her friend that it was a lot of work to pose and that her arms were really tired. Which best summarizes Brandi’s statement about doing work while posing? She did no work because she did not exert any forces on objects. She did more work using her right hand than her left because her right hand was higher. She did no work because she did not move the scales or sword while she posed. She did work the entire time she posed because she was tired at the end.

The correct answer is C. She did no work because she did not move the scales or sword while she posed.

Explanation:

In physics, the term "work" is used to refer to the energy or force related to the displacement of an object. Indeed, this variable is calculated through the formula W (work) = F (force) x d (displacement). This implies, there is only work if there is displacement. According to this, Brandi did no work while posing because even if she used her force to hold the scales and sword she did not move and displacement is essential for work to exist. Thus, the correct option is C.

An erect object is placed on the central axis of a thin lens, further from the lens than the magnitude of its focal length. The
Zolol [24]

Answer:

the image is virtual and erect and the lens divergent; therefore the correct answer is C

Explanation:

In a thin lens the magnification given by

      m = h '/ h = - q / p

where h ’is the height of the image, h is the height of the object, q is the distance to the image and p is the distance to the object.

It indicates that the object is straight and is placed at a distance p> f

analyze the situation tells us that the magnification is positive so the distance to the image must be negative, that is, that the image is on the same side as the object.

Consequently the lens must be divergent

The magnification value is

          0.4 = h ’/ h

          h ’= 0.4 h

therefore the erect images

therefore the image is virtual and erect and the lens divergent; therefore the correct answer is C

You analyze a sample of a meteorite that landed on Earth and find that 15/16 of a certain type of radioactive atoms have decayed
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The number of half-lives that have occurred are 4.

Explanation:

Formula used for number of half lives :

a=\frac{a_o}{2^n}

where,

a = amount of reactant left after n-half lives

a_o = Initial amount of the reactant

n = number of half lives

a_o=x

a = x-\frac{15}{16}x=\frac{1}{16}x=a

\frac{1}{16}x=\frac{x}{2^n}

2^n=16=2^4

n = 4

The number of half-lives that have occurred are 4.

A skier is moving down a snowy hill with an acceleration of 0.40 m/s2. The angle of the slope is 5.0∘ to the horizontal. What is
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

1.25377 m/s²

Explanation:

m = Mass of person

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

\mu = Coefficient of friction

\theta = Slope

From Newton's second law

mgsin\theta-f=ma\\\Rightarrow mgsin\theta-\mu mgcos\theta=ma\\\Rightarrow \mu=\frac{gsin\theta-a}{gcos\theta}\\\Rightarrow \mu=\frac{9.81\times sin5-0.4}{9.81\times cos5}\\\Rightarrow \mu=0.04655

Applying \mu to the above equation and \theta=10^{\circ}

mgsin\theta-\mu mgcos\theta=ma\\\Rightarrow a=gsin\theta-\mu gcos\theta\\\Rightarrow a=9.81\times sin10-0.04655\times 9.81\times cos10\\\Rightarrow a=1.25377\ m/s^2

The acceleration of the same skier when she is moving down a hill is 1.25377 m/s²

Two children stand on a platform at the top of a curving slide next to a backyard swimming pool. At the same moment the smaller
victus00 [196]

1.

Answer:

a) It is less

Explanation:

By energy conservation we can say that initial potential energy of both child must be equal to the final kinetic energy of the two child.

Since initially they are at same height so we will say that initial potential energy will be given as

mgH and MgH

so the child with greater mass has more energy and hence smaller child will reach with smaller kinetic energy

2.

Answer:

b. The two speeds are equal.

Explanation:

As we know by mechanical energy conservation law we have

mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

v = \sqrt{2gh}

since both child starts at same height so here they both will reach the bottom at same speed

3.

Answer:

c. The two accelerations are equal

Explanation:

Since we know that average acceleration of the motion is given as

a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{\Delta t}

since here initial and final speeds are same so they both must have same average acceleration here.

Calculate the amount of energy produced in a nuclear reaction in which the mass defect is 0.187456 amu.
luda_lava [24]
For nuclear reactions, we determine the energy dissipated from the process from the Theory of relativity wherein energy is equal to the mass defect times the speed of light. We calculate as follows:

E = mc^2 = 0.187456 (3x10^8)^2 = 1.687x10^16 J

Hope this answers the question.
