Answer:

The work done and power are 60000 Pounds-feet and 3000 Pounds-feet/sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force F = 1500 pounds

Distance d = 40 feet

Time t = 40 sec

Work done :

The work done is the product of the force and distance.

The work done is defined as,

$W = F \times d$

Where, W = work

F = force

d = distance

Put the value into the formula of work

$W= 1500\times40$

$W = 60000\ Pounds-feet$

Power:

The power is equal to the work done divided by time.

The power is defined as,

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

Where, P = power

W = work

t = time

Put the value into the formula of power

$P = \dfrac{60000}{20}$

$P=3000\ Pounds-feet/s$

Hence, The work done and power are 60000 Pounds-feet and 3000 Pounds-feet/sec.

Work = f x s = 1500 x 40
power = w/t = (1500 x 40) / 20

A sample of a gas has a volume of 639 cm3 when the pressure is 75.9 kPa. What is the volume of the gas when the pressure is incr

const2013 [10]

Answer:

$388 cm^3$

Explanation:

For this problem, we can use Boyle's law, which states that for a gas at constant temperature, the product between pressure and volume remains constant:

$pV=const.$

which can also be rewritten as

$p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2$

In our case, we have:

$p_1 = 75.9 kPa$ is the initial pressure

$V_1 = 639 cm^3$ is the initial volume

$p_2 = 125 kPa$ is the final pressure

Solving for V2, we find the final volume:

$v_2 = \frac{p_1 V_1}{p_2}=\frac{(75.9)(639)}{125}=388 cm^3$

Objects dropped straight or thrown horizontally from the same height
change their vertical velocity at the same rate, and fall through equal
vertical distances in equal time intervals.

All rules to find work in changing force in physics

saw5 [17]

Answer:

FORCE - rate of change of momentum, ie its changing velocity [change in velocity is of more concern] NEWTON

WORK - product of force and displacement, ie [velocity may be constant or variable but change in position with certain force is of more concern] JOULES

I hope you understood from this..

<h2>The temperature of the air is 66.8° C</h2>

Explanation:

From the Newton's velocity of sound relationship , the velocity of sound is directly proportional to the square root of temperature .

In this case The velocity of sound = frequency x wavelength

= 798 x 0.48 = 383 m/sec

Suppose the temperature at this time = T K

Thus 383 ∝ $\sqrt{T}$ I

The velocity of sound is 329 m/s at 273 K ( given )

Thus 329 ∝ $\sqrt{273}$ II

Dividing I by II , we have

$\frac{383}{329}$ = $\sqrt{\frac{T}{273} }$

or $\frac{T}{273}$ = 1.25

and T = 339.8 K = 66.8° C

light waves are first transmitted through the ________ at the front of the eye and enter an opening called the ________ before s

viva [34]

The transmission of light waves is usually done through cornea of the eyes, then move through another opening which is regarded as pupil before it will get to the retina.

Light waves can be regarded as moving energy which contains microscopic particles known as photons.

The vision of the eye can be completed through the light wave passing through the components of the eyes and this process goes thus;

Light will move through the (cornea) which is situated at the front area of the eyes into lens.

Then both the cornea and the lens give room for the focusing of the light rays to the retina which is situated at the back of the eye .

Then through the help of the cells in the retina, the light will be absorbed and then be converted to electrochemical impulses and then transfer it to the brain as well as optic nerve.

Therefore, light wave are form of tiny microscopic particles.
