Answer:

3560.36 Watts

Explanation:

Power, P=\frac {nΔW}{Δt) where P is power, n is the number of skiers, t is time in seconds and Δt is change in time, ΔW is given by mgh where m is mass, g is gravitational constant, h is height

Substituting n for 4 skiers, m for 62.9 Kg, g for 9.81, h for 148 m and t for 1.71*60=102.6 seconds

P=\frac {4*62.9*9.81*148}{1.71*60}=3560.360702  Watts

Average power is approximately 3560.36 Watts

Two blocks are connected by a light weight, flexible cord that passes over a frictionless pulley.Ifm1=2 kg and m2 = 3 kg, and bl
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

t = 1.41 sec.

Explanation:

If we assume that the acceleration of the blocks is constant, we can apply any of the kinematic equations to get the time since the block 2 was released till it reached the floor.

First, we need to find the value of  acceleration, which is the same for both blocks.

If we take as our system both blocks, and think about the pulley as redirecting the force simply (as tension in the strings behave like internal forces) , we can apply Newton's 2nd Law, as they were moving along the same axis, aiming at opposite directions, as follows:

F = m₂*g - m₁*g = (m₁+m₂)*a (we choose as positive the direction of the acceleration, will be the one defined by the larger mass, in this case m₂)

⇒ a = (\frac{(m₂-m₁)}({m₁+m₂} * g = g/5 m/s²

Once we got the value of a, we can use for instance this kinematic equation, and solve for t:

Δx = 1/2*a*t² ⇒ t² = (2* 1.96m *5)/g = 2 sec² ⇒ t = √2 = 1.41 sec.

To a nighttime observer on Earth, how many degrees do the stars appear to move around Polaris in 3 hours?
STatiana [176]
<span>The correct answer is 45 degrees. 360 degrees is 24 hours, because it takes a whole day for the earth to turn in one whole circle. So, to find how many degrees the stars seem to move per hour, simply divide the total number of degrees by the total number of hours in a day: 360/24 = 15. Since the question is asking how much the stars appear to move in 3 hours, now multiply the number of degrees per hour times 3: 15 x 3 = 45. </span>
