forsale [732]2 years ago
4 0

The power exerted by the cyclist is determined as 50 W.

<h3>Average power exerted by the cyclist</h3>

The power exerted by the cyclist is calculated as follows;

P = FV

where;

  • F is the applied force
  • V is velocity

P = 20 x 2.5

P = 50 W

Thus, the power exerted by the cyclist is determined as 50 W.

Telephone signals are often transmitted over long distances by microwaves. What is the frequency of microwave radiation with a w
amm1812

Answer:

1) f= 8.6 GHz

2) t= 0.2 ms

Explanation:

1)

  • Since microwaves are electromagnetic waves, they move at the same speed as the light in vacuum, i.e. 3*10⁸ m/s.
  • There exists a fixed relationship between the frequency (f) , the wavelength (λ) and the propagation speed in any wave, as follows:

        v = \lambda * f (1)

  • Replacing by the givens, and solving for f, we get:

       f =\frac{c}{\lambda} =\frac{3e8m/s}{0.035m} = 8.57e9 Hz (2)

⇒     f = 8.6 Ghz (with two significative figures)

2)

  • Assuming that the microwaves travel at a constant speed in a straight line (behaving like rays) , we can apply the definition of average velocity, as follows:

       v =\frac{d}{t} (3)

       where v= c= speed of light in vacuum = 3*10⁸ m/s

       d= distance between mountaintops = 52 km = 52*10³ m

  • Solving for t, we get:

       t = \frac{d}{c} = \frac{52e3m}{3e8m/s} = 17.3e-5 sec = 0.173e-3 sec = 0.173 ms (4)

       ⇒  t = 0.2 ms (with two significative figures)

Explaining How Momentum Can Cause
Ghella [55]

Answer:

The astronaut can throw the hammer in a direction away from the space station. While he is holding the hammer, the total momentum of the astronaut and hammer is 0 kg • m/s. According to the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum after he throws the hammer must still be 0 kg • m/s. In order for momentum to be conserved, the astronaut will have to move in the opposite direction of the hammer, which will be toward the space station.

If an object force of 50 N is used to move an object a distance of 20 m, what distance must the object be moved if the input for
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

\ d_{out} = 100 \ m.

Explanation:

Given data:

F_{in} = 50 \ \rm N

F_{out} = 10 \ \rm N

d_{in} = 20 \ m

Let the distance traveled by the object in the second case be d_{out}.

In the given problem, work done by the forces are same in both the cases.

Thus,

W_{in} = W_{out}

F_{in}.d_{in} = F_{out}.d_{out}

\Rightarrow \ d_{out} = \frac{F_{in}.d_{in}}{F_{out}}

\ d_{out} = \frac{50 \times 20}{10}

\ d_{out} = 100 \ m.

An airplane dropped a flare from a height of 2860 feet above a lake. How many seconds did it take for the flare to reach the wat
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: 13.2 seconds.

Explanation: using equation of motion; S= ut +1/2at² where u = initial velocity=0

S= distance travelled

a = acceleration due gravity

t= time.

1 foot = 0.305m so,

S= 2860 feet =872.3m

S= ut+1/2 at²

872.3 = 0×t + 1/2×10 × t²

872.3 =0 + 5t²

T²= 872.3/5

T²= 174.46

Take the square root of T we then have;

t = 13.2 seconds to one decimal place.
