I need help I can't solve it and I'm struggling badly. Justin weighs 185 lb. and decides to climb a staircase that has a vertical distance of 12 m. He climbs the stairs in 12.7 seconds. Calculate his work:

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Power is work/time - not needed here

W(work) = F * D      force * distance

Here W = M g h

Since 2.20 lb is equivalent to 1 kilogram mass

W = 185 lb / 2.20 lb/kg * 9.80 m/s^2 * 12 m = 824 Joules

note that a pound is a unit of force and a kilogram is a unit of mass

For a conclusion to be accepted by the scientific community, the data must be accurate, free from error, andA.reproducible.

B.varied.

C.unique.

D.surprising

Answers

The data must be reproducible: it means that the data will be reliable and representative and not that this data would lead to one conclusion and another data would lead to another.

Data being varied, unique or surprising does not have anything to do with acceptability of the conclusion.

Safety belts protect people in cars in the event of an accident because, according to Newton’s laws of motion, when an impact causes the car to suddenly change its motion -A.the speed of the people always increases, since now they have not one but two forces acting on them.
B.the speed of the car always increases, giving it greater force since the mass will remain the same.
C.the car now has a greater overall mass - its own mass plus the mass of the object by which it has been struck.
D.the people in the car will continue to move in the same direction and at the same speed as before the impact.

Answers

When an impact causes the car to suddenly change its motion, (D) the people in the car will continue to move in the same direction and at the same speed as before the impact.

What is Newton's first law of motion?

Newton's first law of motion states that Unless influenced by an imbalanced force, a body at rest stays at rest, and a body in motion keeps moving in a straight path at a constant pace. This law is commonly known as law of inertia and the resistance of a body to maintain its state of rest is called inertia of rest, same as, the resistance of a body to maintain its state of motion is called inertia of motion.

When a car is moving with certain speed, the car along with the people inside the car is in inertia of motion. In an event of accident, the car comes in rest in no time but the man in the car is still in inertia of motion. So, his body moves forward in the car which may cause injuries. To prevent such injuries, the people inside a car are advised to use safety belts.

So, correct answer  is option (D).

Answer:

D :)

Explanation:

Which statement is true for a sound wave entering an era of a warmer air ?A. The wave travels faster and with the same wavelength
B. The wavelength travels at the same speed but with an increased wavelength
C. The wave travels at the same speed and with the same wave length
D. The wave travels slower and with an increased wavelength
E. The wave travels faster and with an increased wavelength

Answers

Answer:E
Molecules at higher temperatures have more energy, thus they can vibrate faster. Since the molecules vibrate faster, sound waves can travel more quickly. Wavelength always increases with speed, as frequency is fixed at source and speed= freq x wavelength
The speed of sound in room temperature air is 346 meters per second.
