A force of 500 N is used to slide a box across a smooth surface; the box moved 5 m in 1.2 seconds. What power is used?

2 answers:

F = 500N
S = 5m
T = 1.2s
----------------------------------
P = ?

We can use formula P = F * V, just because it was a smooth slide we can assume that average speed was V = S/T = 5 / 1.2 = 50/12

So the final answer would be:

P = F * V = 500 * 50/12

Are you sure those are correct numbers? The answer don't look nice :D

$Given:\\F=500N\\s=5m\\t=1.2s\\\\Find:\\P=?\\\\Solution:\\\\P= \frac{W}{t} \\\\W=Fs\\\\P= \frac{Fs}{t} \\\\P= \frac{500N\cdot 5m}{1.2s} \approx 2083.33W$

A thin walled spherical shell is rolling on a surface. What

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

$=\frac{1/3}{5/6} = 0.4$

Explanation:

Moment of inertia of given shell $= \frac{2}{3} MR^2$

where

M represent sphere mass

R -sphere radius

we know linear speed is given as $v = r\omega$

translational $K.E = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{1}{2} m(r\omega)^2$

rotational $K.E = \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 = \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{3} MR^2 \omega^2$

total kinetic energy will be

$K.E = \frac{1}{2} m(r\omega)^2 + \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{3} MR^2 \omega^2$

$K.E =\frac{5}{6} MR^2 \omega^2$

fraction of rotaional to total K.E

$=\frac{1/3}{5/6} = 0.4$

Two children, Ferdinand and Isabella, are playing with a water hose on a sunny summer day. Isabella is holding the hose in her h

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Isabella will not be able to spray Ferdinand.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the time taken for the water to get to the ground from the hose held at 1 m above the ground. This can be obtained as follow:

Height (h) = 1 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =.?

h = ½gt²

1 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

1 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 1/4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(1/4.9)

t = 0.45 s

Next, we shall determine the horizontal distance travelled by the water. This can be obtained as follow:

Horizontal velocity (u) = 3.5 m/s

Time (t) = 0.45 s

Horizontal distance (s) =?

s = ut

s = 3.5 × 0.45

s = 1.58 m

Finally, we shall compare the distance travelled by the water and the position to which Ferdinand is located to see if they are the same or not. This is illustrated below:

Ferdinand's position = 10 m

Distance travelled by the water = 1.58 m

From the above, we can see that the position of the water (i.e 1.58 m) and that of Ferdinand (i.e 10 m) are not the same. Thus, Isabella will not be able to spray Ferdinand.
