Solve 3000g Box Move: Time & Work Involved

AI Thread Summary

To solve the problem of moving a 3000g box 15m, one must calculate the work done using the formula Work = Force x Distance, where Force is the weight of the box. The weight can be determined by multiplying the mass (3000g or 3kg) by the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s²). To find the time taken for the move with 45kW of energy expended, the relationship between power, work, and time (Power = Work/Time) can be applied. Participants emphasize the importance of showing initial attempts at the problem to receive guidance. The discussion encourages collaborative problem-solving rather than simply providing answers.

a) The amount of work done when a 3000g box is moved from a chair to a table 15m away. How do u solve

b) The amount of time it took to remove the box in a if 45kW of energy was expended?

Lynn, we will not do your homework. Show what you did and where you got stuck and we will push you in the right direction.

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
