Answer:

As the person moves down the zip wire, her increase in kinetic energy is less than her decrease in gravitational potential energy.

Explanation:

Work is done against the air resistance, causing thermal energy to transfer to the surroundings

A nonuniform, 80.0-g, meterstick balances when the support is placed at the 51.0-cm mark. At what location on the meterstick sho

Gnoma [55]

Answer:34 cm

Explanation:

Given

mass of meter stick m=80 gm

stick is balanced when support is placed at 51 cm mark

Let us take 5 gm tack is placed at x cm on meter stick so that balancing occurs at x=50 cm mark

balancing torque

$80\times 10^{-3}(51-50)=5\times 10^{-3}(50-x)$

$80=5(50-x)$

$80=250-5x$

$5x=170$

$x=\frac{170}{5}$

$x=34 cm$

550 J of work must be done to compress a gas to half its initial volume at constant temperature. How much work must be done to c

Over [174]

Answer:

The amount of work that must be done to compress the gas 11 times less than its initial pressure is 909.091 J

Explanation:

The given variables are

Work done = 550 J

Volume change = V₂ - V₁ = -0.5V₁

Thus the product of pressure and volume change = work done by gas, thus

P × -0.5V₁ = 500 J

Hence -PV₁ = 1000 J

also P₁/V₁ = P₂/V₂ but V₂ = 0.5V₁ Therefore P₁/V₁ = P₂/0.5V₁ or P₁ = 2P₂

Also to compress the gas by a factor of 11 we have

P (V₂ - V₁) = P×(V₁/11 -V₁) = P(11V₁ - V₁)/11 = P×-10V₁/11 = -PV₁×10/11 = 1000 J ×10/11 = 909.091 J of work

In March 2006, two small satellites were discovered orbiting Pluto, one at a distance of 48,000 km and the other at 64,000 km. P

tatiyna

Answer:

Time period for first satellites 24.46 days and for second satellites 37.67 days

Explanation:

Given :

Distance of first satellites $r_{sat1} = 48000 \times 10^{3}$ m

Distance of second satellites $r _{sat2} = 64000 \times 10^{3}$ m

Distance of charon $r_{c} = 19600 \times 10^{3}$ m

Time period of charon $T_{c} = 6.39$ days

From the kepler's third law,

Square of the time period is proportional to the cube of the semi major axis.

$T^{2} = r^{3}$

$\frac{T}{r^{\frac{3}{2} } } = constant$

For first satellites,

$\frac{T_{c} }{r_{c} ^{\frac{3}{2} } } = \frac{T_{sat1} }{r_{sat1} ^{\frac{3}{2} } }$

${T_{sat1} } = 6.39 \times \frac{(48000 \times 10^{3} )^{\frac{3}{2} } }{(19600\times 10^{3} )^{\frac{3}{2} }}$

$T_{sat1} = 24.46$ days

For second satellites,

$\frac{T_{c} }{r_{c} ^{\frac{3}{2} } } = \frac{T_{sat2} }{r_{sat2} ^{\frac{3}{2} } }$

${T_{sat2} } = 6.39 \times \frac{(64000 \times 10^{3} )^{\frac{3}{2} } }{(19600\times 10^{3} )^{\frac{3}{2} }}$

$T_{sat2} = 37.67$ days

Therefore, time period for first satellites = 24.46 days and for second satellites 37.67 days

A 10 kg package is delivered to your house. Use one complete sentence to describe an example of how work is done on the package

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Hey :)

Explanation:

Work is a net force applied through a distance in order to displace an object, commonly abbreviated as W. A net force is the sum of all forces acting on an object. Work is mass times acceleration and distance so to find out the work you simply calculate the acceleration of the box being brought in. Next find the distance it was carried to get in the house. Then find out the mas of the box and finally multiply those sums together to get the amount of work put in to bring the package inside.

hope this helps :) xo
