Answer:

1.3\cdot 10^3\text{ J}

Step-by-step explanation:

Power is defined by work over time. In physics, work can be defined as the energy transferred over from an applied force over some distance. As a formula:

W=Fd, where F = force applied and d = distance that force is applied over.

*It is worth noting that F must be parallel to the distance travelled. If it is perpendicular, no work is done, and if it is at an angle, find the parallel component and use that for F.

In this case, the force applied must counter the force of gravity on Martha, which is given by F_g=mg, where m = Martha's mass and g = gravitational constant 9.8 m/s/s. Therefore, F_g=75\cdot 9.8=735\text{ N}. Since she raises her body 4.0 meters, the work done must be W=Fd=735\cdot 4=2940\text{ J}.

Since power is equal to work over time and t = 2.3 seconds, we have:

\displaystyle P=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{2940}{2.3}=\boxed{1278\text{ J}}\approx \boxed{1.3\cdot 10^3\text{ J}} (to two significant figures)

Thomas is 4 years older than his brother william. in five years the sum of their age will be 24. how old is each boy?
Rasek [7]
Let William be x years old.

Thomas = (4 + x) years

In five years,

William = (x + 5) years

Thomas = 4 + x + 5 = (9 + x) years

Given, in five years sum of their ages is 24.

x + 5 + 9 + x = 24

2x + 14 = 24

2x = 24 - 14 

2x = 10

x = \frac{10}{2}

x = 5

Hence, William is 5 years old and Thomas is 9 years old.

Henri has $24,000 invested in stocks and bonds. The amount in stocks is $6,000 more than three times the amount in​ bonds
NikAS [45]

Answer:

s + b = $24,000

And,

s = 3b + $6,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the stock be s

And, the bonds be b

So according to the question

It is given that

s + b = $24,000

And,

s = 3b + $6,000

The answers are

s + b = $24,000

And,

s = 3b + $6,000

The same would be considered
