Answer:
20 J
Explanation:
Given:
Weight of the book is,
Height or displacement of the book is,
The work done on the book to raise it to a height of 2 m on a shelf is against gravity. The gravitational force acting on the book is equal to its weight. Now, in order to raise it, an equal amount of force must be applied in the opposite direction.
So, the force applied by me should be equal to weight of the body and in the upward direction. The displacement is also in the upward direction.
Now, work done by the applied force is equal to the product of force applied and displacement of book in the direction of the applied force.
Therefore, work done is given as:
Therefore, the work done to raise a book to a height 2 m from the floor is 20 J.
The wolf population in that area has reached its carrying capacity.
Answer:
166 666 666.7 years
Explanation:
We start the question by making the units uniform. We are told that the continents move at 3 cm/year = 0.03 m/year.
We are also told that the continents are now 5000 km = 5 000 000 m apart
So to calculate the time it took for them to be this far apart
t = distance/speed
t = 5 000 000 m/(0.03 m/year) = 166 666 666.7 years
