Data:
$F = 20 [N]$
$m = 3 [kg]$
$s = 4 [m]$
Work is calculated from the following formula:
$W = F \cdot s \cdot cos(a)$
Where a is the angle between force vector and displacement vector. When force is perpendicular to displacement, a = 90 deg and cosine of this angle = 0.
Therefore, the work this force does = 0 [J]

Work = (displacement) x (force in the direction of the displacement)

Since none of the force is in the direction of the displacement, the work it does
is zero. Something else is making the object move. It's not the 20N force.

The eyes of amphibians such as frogs have a much flatter cornea but a more strongly curved (almost spherical) lens than do the e

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

0.2cm towards the retina.

Explanation:

the focal length of the frog eye is

(1/f) = (1/10) + (1/0.8)

f = 0.74cm

Since the distance of the object is 15cm Hence

(1/0.74) = (1/15) + (1/V)

V = 0.78cm

Therefore the distance the retina is to move is

0.78cm - 0.8cm = 0.02cm towards the retina.

In the produce section of a supermarket, five pears are placed on a spring scale. The placement of the pears stretches the sprin

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

The displacement of the spring due to weight is 0.043 m

Explanation:

Given :

Mass $m = 2$ Kg

Spring constant $k = 450 \frac{N}{m}$

According to the hooke's law,

$F = -kx$

Where $F =$ force, $x =$ displacement

Here,

$F = mg$ ( $g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }$ )

$F = 2 \times 9.8 = 19.6$ N

Now for finding displacement,

$x = \frac{F}{k}$

Here minus sign only represent the direction so we take magnitude of it.

$x = \frac{19.6}{450}$

$x = 0.043$ m

Therefore, the displacement of the spring due to weight is 0.043 m

Dmitrij [34]

Answer: B

Explanation:

Limiting the maximum current through the bulb. This will help in preserving or improving the bulb's lifetime and also this won't have an effect on the brightness of the bulb as brightness is affected by the average value. Although brightness is a factor of current, reducing the maximum current won't have any bearing on the average current the bulb is getting.

A hot air balloon is on the ground, 200 feet from an observer. The pilot decides to ascend at 100 ft/min. How fast is the angle

liq [111]

Answer:

0.0031792338 rad/s

Explanation:

$\theta$ = Angle of elevation

y = Height of balloon

Using trigonometry

$tan\theta=y\dfrac{y}{200}\\\Rightarrow y=200tan\theta$

Differentiating with respect to t we get

$\dfrac{dy}{dt}=\dfrac{d}{dt}200tan\theta\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dy}{dt}=200sec^2\theta\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}\\\Rightarrow 100=200sec^2\theta\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=\dfrac{100}{200sec^2\theta}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{2}cos^2\theta$

Now, with the base at 200 ft and height at 2500 ft

The hypotenuse is

$h=\sqrt{200^2+2500^2}\\\Rightarrow h=2507.98\ ft$

Now y = 2500 ft

$cos\theta=\dfrac{200}{h}\\\Rightarrow cos\theta=\dfrac{200}{2507.98}=0.07974$

$\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.07974^2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=0.0031792338\ rad/s$

The angle is changing at 0.0031792338 rad/s
