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

Jupiter's gravitational field is stronger than Earth's. On Jupiter, an object's__________ will be greater than on Earth. What on
vesna_86 [32]

Answer: Weight

Explanation:The mass of an object is a measure of the quantity of matter in the object. This quantity remains constant under any circumstance.

However, the same cannot be said about the weight of such object.

The weight of the object is very much dependent on the acceleration due to gravity which is a accelerational pull (by convention-- a pull downwards).

This is why an object tends to fall when it is thrown upwards on the earth for instance.

The statements above consequently infer that since the gravitational field of Jupiter is greater than that of the earth, the acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter is greater than that on earth.

And since the weight of an object(W) is a product of its mass and the acceleration due to gravity at that point.

Consequently, the object's weight on Jupiter would be greater than its weight on earth.

Please note; The Mass of the object remains constant everywhere.

A rescue plane flying horizontally at 72.6 m / s spots a survivor in the ocean 182 m directly below and releases an emergency ki
Mila [183]

Answer:

547 m

Explanation:

From law of motion

s = ut + ½at²

Where "t" is Time taken to reach Earth

s= distance= 182 m

a= vertical acceleration = 5.82 m / s 2

U= initial velocity in vertical position = 0

182= ½ × 5.82t²

t²=( 2× 182)/ 5.82

= 364/5.82

= 62.54

t= √62.54

t= 7.908s

horizontal distance travelled = speed x time

Horizontal speed= 72.6 m / s

horizontal distance travelled =72.6× 7.908

= 547 m

Hence, the survivor will it hit the waves at 547 m away
