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

Alicia está a punto de perder su bus. En un desesperado intento, corre a una velocidad constante de 5 m/s. Cuando está a 15 m de
pochemuha

Answer:

Si logra alcanzar el bus.

Explanation:

Para poder solucionar este problema debemos de tener en cuenta que Alicia corre a velocidad constante para poder alcanzar el bus. La formula de la cinematica que tiene en cuenta la velocidad constante es la siguiente:

x_{f} = x_{o}+(v*t)

donde:

Xf = Ubicacion del punto donde se encuentra el bus [m]

Xo = Ubicacion desde donde esta Alicia [m]

v = velocidad constante = 5 [m/s]

t = tiempo [s]

Xf - Xo = 15 [m]

15 = 5*t

t = 3 [s]

Ahora con el tiempo podemos encontrar la velocidad del bus por medio de la siguiente ecuacion de cinematica para la aceleracion constante:

v_{f} = v_{i}+(a*t)

donde:

Vf = velocidad del bus despues de los 3 [s]

Vi = velocidad inicial = 0

a = aceleracion = 0.5 [m/s^2]

Vf = 0 + (0.5*3)

Vf = 1.5 [m/s]

La velocidad del bus es menor que la velocidad de Alicia, por ende Alicia alcanzara el bus.

What is power in physics​
Shkiper50 [21]

Edit

In physics, power is the rate of doing work or of transferring heat, i.e. the amount of energy transferred or converted per unit time. Having no direction, it is a scalarquantity. In the International System of Units, the unit of power is the joule per second (J/s), known as the watt in honour of James Watt, the eighteenth-century developer of the condenser steam engine. Another common and traditional measure is horsepower (comparing to the power of a horse). Being the rate of work, the equation for power can be written:

Power

Common symbols

Derivations from

other quantities

P = E/t

P = F·v

P = V·I

P = T·ω

As a physical concept, power requires both a change in the physical system and a specified time in which the change occurs. This is distinct from the concept of work, which is only measured in terms of a net change in the state of the physical system. The same amount of work is done when carrying a load up a flight of stairs whether the person carrying it walks or runs, but more power is needed for running because the work is done in a shorter amount of time.
