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

In a particular case of an object in front of a spherical mirror with a focal length of +12.0 cm, the magnification is +4.00.(a)

salantis [7]

Answer:

9 cm

-36 cm

Explanation:

u = Object distance

v = Image distance

f = Focal length = 12

m = Magnification = 4

$m=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow 4=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow v=-4u$

Lens equation

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{12}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{-4u}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{12}=\frac{3}{4u}\\\Rightarrow u=9\ cm$

Object distance is 9 cm

$v=-4\times 9=-36\ cm$

Image distance is -36 cm (other side of object)

Eric has a mass of 19.0 kg on the earth. What is Eric's weight on earth? What is Eric's weight on Mars? where the acceleration o

Tom [10]

Answer:

Weight on Earth = We = 186.2 N

Weight on Mars = Wm = 70.94 N

Explanation:

The weight of an object is defined as the force applied on the object by the gravitational field. The magnitude of weight is given by the following formula:

W = mg

were,

W= Weight of Eric

m = mass of Eric

g = acceleration due to gravity

ON EARTH:

W = We = Eric's Weight on Earth = ?

m = Eric's Mass on Earth = 19 kg

ge = acceleration due to gravity on Earth = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

We = (19 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

We = 186.2 N

ON MARS:

W = Wm = Eric's Weight on Mars = ?

m = Eric's Mass on Mars = 19 kg

gm = acceleration due to gravity on Mars = 0.381(ge) = (0.381)9.8 m/s² = 3.733 m/s²

Therefore,

Wm = (19 kg)(3.733 m/s²)

Wm = 70.94 N

Answer:

a. slope=rise/run

rise=0.02

run=-2

determined using the point (3,0.08) and (1,0.1) on the graph

slope=0.02/-2

= -0.01 or -1/100

b.area= area of trapizoid+ rectangle
