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 5 meters, a person running at 0.8 m/s accelerates at 1.6 m/s2. How fast 16 points

frutty [35]

They were going at a velocity 4.07m/s

Explanation:

Distance s =5 m

initial velocity u= 0.8 m/s

Acceleration a =1.6m/s2

We have to calculate the velocity with which they were going afterwards i.e final velocity.

Use the equation of motion

$v^2=u^2+2as\\=0.8^2+2\times 1.6\times 5\\=16.64\\v=4.07 m/s$

They were going with a velocity 4.07 m/s afterwards.

What is the direction of the electric force exerted by paperclip 1 on paperclip 2?

Tema [17]

In general, the electric force in an electric field is exerted outward from a positive atom, and inward for the negative atom. Therefore based on the figure you specified, we can say that the electric force exerted by paperclip 1 on paperclip 2 is repulsive.

which of the following is a benefit associated with nuclear energy(a)radioisotope used as tracers in industry(b)radiophosphorous

Lelechka [254]

There are multiple uses of nuclear energy, one of which is these uses is (A) radioisotope used as tracers in industry. A radioactive isotope is injected into the patient's area of interest, for example the bowel, and the movement of the radioactive isotope is tracked using the radiation it emits.

Which two of the following reduce the background noise in magneto- medicine?

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

The answer is b.) and d.)

Explanation:

The options to reduce the background noise in magneto-medicine are given as follows:

a.) Orienting the heart parallel to the Earth's field

- This will have no significant effect on the measurements.

b.) Taking the difference of two nearby sensor measurements (gradiometer).

-This answer is TRUE.

c.) Placing the heart in a perpendicular fashion to the Earth's magnetic field.

_ This answer also will not have any significant effect on measurements.

d.) Using physical means to shield environmental fields.

- This answer is TRUE.
