Answer: 588 joules

Explanation:

Work is done when force is applied on an object over a distance ( whether vertical or horizontal). It is measured in joules.

Thus, Workdone = Force X distance

- Vertical distance to be moved by the brick = 12 metres

- Mass of box = 5kg

- Acceleration due to gravity when box was lifted represented by g is a constant with value of 9.8m/s^2

Now, recall that Force = Mass x acceleration due to gravity

i.e Force = 5kg x 9.8m/s^2

Force = 49 Newton

So, Workdone = Force X Distance

Workdone = 49 Newton X 12 metres

Workdone = 588 joules

Thus, 588 joules of work was done.

Why is an iron bolt attracted to a magnet?

icang [17]

Answer:

A. When it is in a magnetic field, it becomes a temporary magnet.

Explanation:

An iron bolt is attracted to a magnet because when in a magnetic field, the iron becomes a temporary magnet.

This is because the iron aligns their electrons in the magnetic fields.

This causes that attraction between the magnet and the iron.
Metals like iron are said to be ferromagnetic
Unpaired electrons in iron spin in such a way that they align with the magnetic fields of the magnet.

Suppose a blood vessel's radius is decreased to 87% of its original value by plaque deposits and the body compensates by increas

dexar [7]

Answer:

The pressure difference will increase by the factor of 1.75

Explanation:

For constant flow rate, coefficient of viscosity, length of the vessel and the pressure difference is inversely proportional to the fourth power of the radius of the blood vessel

Choose the best explanation from among the following: A. It takes more energy to go from the Moon to the Earth because the Moon

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

B. The escape speed of the Moon is less than that of the Earth; therefore, less energy is required to leave the Moon.

Explanation:

Since the speed required to escape from the gravitational attraction of the Moon is less than the speed required to escape from the gravitational attraction of the Earth, less energy is required to travel from the Moon to the Earth, than is required to travel from the Earth to the Moon. This is because the kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the velocity.

Determine the acceleration due to gravity?

MissTica

That's a weird graph, but judging from the units the acceleration is the slope of the graph.

a = (0.8 - 0.3)/(0.16 - 0.055) = 4.76 m/s²
