The definition of work is that it is the Force applied over a distance, times the distance. The only trick is that you have to account only for forces in the direction of movement; any forces that are normal to the movement are not taken into account. Intuitively, work is generated only by forces that contribute  to the movement (or go against it; same or opposite direction).

Let us see now: W=F*d =11.2N* 15.9m=178.1 N*m=178.1 J where J stands for Joules. This is the work that the parent did, namely how much energy he had to put in to move the stroller.

For this problem, we use the conservation of momentum as a solution. Since momentum is mass times velocity, then,

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₁' + m₂v₂'
where
v₁ and v₂ are initial velocities of cart A and B, respectively
v₁' and v₂' are final velocities of cart A and B, respectively
m₁ and m₂ are masses of cart A and B, respectively

(7 kg)(0 m/s) + (3 kg)(0 m/s) = (7 kg)(v₁') + (3 kg)(6 m/s)
Solving for v₁',
v₁' = -2.57 m/s

<em>Therefore, the speed of cart A is at 2.57 m/s at the direction opposite of cart B.</em>

Voices of swimmers at a pool travel 400 m/s through the air and 1,600 m/s underwater. The wavelength changes from 2 m in the air
Nata [24]

The frequency of a sound is whatever frequency leaves the source. It doesn't change.

Voiced of swimmers at the pool don't change frequency in or out of the water. Only their speed and wavelength change.

. A lightbulb with a resistance of 2.9 ohms is operated using a 1.5-volt battery. At what rate is
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

A light bulb has a resistance of 2.9ohms

R = 2.9 ohms

And a battery of 1.5V is applied

V = 1.5 V

We want to find the rate of energy transformed

First we need to know what rate of energy is

Rate of energy implies that we want to find power. Power is the rate at which work is done

P = Workdone / time

Then,

In electronic, the power dissipated by a resistor is given as

P = V² / R

P = 1.5² / 2.9

P = 0.7759 W

P ≈ 0.776 W

So, the rate at which electrical energy transformed in the lightbulb is 0.776 Watts
