Given:

The work done by the man is W = 500 J

The time taken by the man is t = 8 s

To find the power.

Explanation:

The power can be calculated by the formula

$P=\frac{W}{t}$

On substituting the values, the power will be

$\begin{gathered} P=\text{ }\frac{500}{8} \\ =\text{ 62.5 W} \end{gathered}$

Thus, the power is B. 62.5 W

A block of ice with mass 2.00 kg slides 0.750 m down an inclined plane that slopes downward at an angle of 36.9 degrees below th

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer: $V_{f}=2.96m/s$

Firstly we have to draw the Free Body Diagram (FBD) as shown in the figure attached.

Where the weight $w$ of the block has an x-component and y-component:

$w_{x}=wsin(\theta)$ (1)

$w_{y}=wcos(\theta)$ (2)

As well as the Normal Force $N$ :

$N_{x}=Nsin(\theta)$ (3)

$N_{y}=Ncos(\theta)$ (4)

In addition, we know $N=w$ , then $\sum F_{y}=0$

In the X-component:

$\sum F_{x}=m.a$

$m.a=w_{x}$ (5)

Substituting (1) in (5):

$wsin(\theta)=m.a$ (6)

In addition, we know $w=m.g$ , where $m$ is the mass of the block and $g$ the gravity acceleration, which is equal to $9.8m/{s}^{2}$

So:

$m.g.sin(\theta)=m.a$ (7)

$a=g.sin(\theta)$ (8)

$a=5.88m/{s}^{2}$ (9) >>>>This is the acceleration of the block

On the other hand, we have the following equation that expresses a relation between the distance $d$ with the acceleration $a$ and time $t$ :

$d=\frac{1}{2}a{t}^{2}$ (10)

We already know the value of $d$ and calculated $a$ , we have to find $t$ :

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a}}$ (11)

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.75m)}{5.88m/{s}^{2}}}$ (12)

$t=0.50s$ (13) >>>This is the time it takes to the block to go from the initial velocity $V_{o}$ to its final velocity $V_{f}$

If the acceleration is the variation of the velocity in time, we can use the following equation to find $V_{f}$ :

$V_{f}-V_{o}=a.t$ (13)

If $V_{o}=0$

$V_{f}=a.t$ (14)

$V_{f}=(5.88m/{s}^{2})(0.50s)$ (15)

Finally we get the value of the Final Velocity of the block:

$V_{f}=2.96m/s$

If two bicycles of same masses move at different velocities,it will be easier to stop the bicycle that is moving at lower veloci

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

It is easier to stop the bicycle moving at a lower velocity because it will require a smaller force to stop it when compared to a bicycle with a higher velocity that needs a bigger force.

Explanation:

The question above is related to "Newton's Law of Motion." According to the Third Law of Motion, whenever an object exerts a force on another object (action force), an equal force is exerted against it. This force is of the same magnitude but opposite direction.

When it comes to moving bicycles, the force that stops their movement is called "friction." Applying the law of motion, the higher the speed, the higher the force that is needed to stop it while the lower the speed, the lower the force that is needed to stop it.

The velocity of a 1.3 kg remote-controlled car is plotted on the graph. The work of segment A is J.

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: 585 J

Explanation:

We can calculate the work done during segment A by using the work-energy theorem, which states that the work done is equal to the gain in kinetic energy of the object:

$W=K_f -K_i$

where Kf is the final kinetic energy and Ki the initial kinetic energy. The initial kinetic energy is zero (because the initial velocity is 0), while the final kinetic energy is

$K_f =\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

The mass is m=1.3 kg, while the final velocity is v=30 m/s, so the work done is:

$W=K_f = \frac{1}{2}(1.3 kg)(30 m/s)^2=585 J$

If the light wave has a wavelength of 10m what would be its velocity

s2008m [1.1K]

If this case could ever happen, the speed would follow from this formula:

$v = f \cdot \lambda$

with f the frequency and lambda the wavelength. We are give a wavelength of 10m. The frequencies of the visible light can range between 400 to about 790 Terahertz, so let us pick a middle point of 600 THz ("green-ish") as a "representative."

$v = 600THz\cdot 10m = 6\cdot 10^{14} \frac{1}{s}\cdot 10 m = 6\cdot10^{15}\frac{m}{s}$

The speed of such a wave would have to be 6e+15 m/s (which would be 7 orders of magnitude higher than the universal speed of light constant)
