Answer:

1. 571.43m/s

2. 142.9m and 342.9m

Explanation:

1.Take the difference in time.

1.2-0.7=0.7 seconds

Take the distance between them and divide with differnce in time.

400÷0.7=571.43 seconds.

2.Take the time of the two men and divide by two.

0.5÷2= 0.25 secs

1.2÷2= 0.6 secs

multiply each with the velocity.

0.25×571.43=142.9m

0.6×571.43=342.9m

The battery of a flashlight develops 3 V, and the current through the bulb is 200 mA.What power is absorbed by the bulb?
Verizon [17]

Answer : The power absorbed by the bulb is, 0.600 W

Explanation :

As we know that,

Power = Voltage × Current

Given:

Voltage = 3 V

Current = 200 mA = 0.200 A

Conversion used : (1 mA = 0.001 A)

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

Power = Voltage × Current

Power = 3V × 0.200 A

Power = 0.600 W

Thus, the power absorbed by the bulb is, 0.600 W

A book sitting on a table is moved horizontally. Describe the
Akimi4 [234]

Frictional force and Applied force has same “magnitude” and “opposite” direction.  

Option: B  

<u>Explanation</u>:  

When a book is moved horizontally by applying “force” on the book, the frictional force is opposed to the book by the table. Here, this “frictional force” is opposing the book has the same force what we applied on the book but this frictional force and the applied force are opposite in direction. Always the “frictional force” is opposite to the “applied force” which stops the object to move. For example, if a force applied leftward to the object the frictional force is acted on the right side of the object.

When two objects are in contact they experience a "frictional force". This "frictional force" acts opposite to the force applied on to move the object.

Formula for "frictional force" is \mu\times N

Where, \mu is coefficient of friction and N is normal force.

Consider a system of a cliff diver and the Earth. The gravitational potential energy of the system decreases by 25,000 J as the
salantis [7]

Answer:

568.18 N

Explanation:

From the question,

The formula for gravitational potential is given as

Ep = mgh........................ Equation 1

Where Ep = Gravitational potential, m = mass of the diver,h = Height.

But,

W = mg.................... Equation 2

Where W = weight of the diver.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

Ep = Wh

Make W the subject of the equation

W = Ep/h................... Equation 3

Given: Ep = 25000 J, h = 44 m

Substitute into equation 3

W = 25000/44

W = 568.18 N.

Hence the weight of the diver = 568.18 N
