Answer: 552.5 watts

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of man = 956 N

Height (h) = 2.41 m

Time taken (t) = 4.17 seconds

Power = ?

Recall that power is the rate of work done per unit time i.e Power = work/time

Thus, power = (mgh) / t

(Since weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity)

Power = (weight x height)/ time

Power = (956N x 2.41 m) / 4.17s

Power = 2303.96/4.17

Power = 552.5 watts

Thus, 552.5 watts of power is generated.

A current of 0.5 A flows in a 60 W light bulb when the voltage differences between the ends of the filament is 120 V. What is th
LuckyWell [14K]

Resistance = (voltage) / (current)

Resistance = (120 V) / (0.5 A)

<em>Resistance = 240 ohms</em>

<em></em>

Know what ?  There might be too much information given in this question.  I want to check, because it's possible that it might not even all fit together.

To calculate my answer, I only used the voltage and the current.  I didn't use the "60 watts", and I'm curious to know whether it even fits with the given voltage and current.

Power = (voltage) times (current).

Power = (120 V) times (0.5 A)

Power = 60 watts  

Well gadzooks and sure enough !  The three numbers given in the question all go together nicely.  

And not only THAT !

The answer could have been calculated by using ANY TWO of them.

Problem I Marcella (see warmup problem, above) gets her car moving steadily at 4m/s but suddenly someone stops ahead to assist h
Nady [450]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) KE = (1/2) * m * (v^{2}) = F * d = 14m * 200N = 2800 m/N or 2.8 * 10^{3} m/N

b) 0J and 0m/s (if Marcella stopped after going 14 meters)

c)  Known from part (a) that KE = 2800 J = F1 * d1,

    2800J = F1 * (14m - 1m)  => F1 = 2800J/13m = 215.384 N

A lamp in a child's Halloween costume flashes based on an RC discharge of a capacitor through its resistance. The effective dura
Genrish500 [490]

Power of the lamp = (voltage) x (current)

0.62 watt = (3.0 v) x (current)

Current = (0.62 watt) / (3.0 volt)

Current = 0.207 Ampere

Charge = (current) x (time)

Charge = (0.207 Amp) x (0.32 sec)

<em>a).  Charge = 0.066 Coulomb</em>

Energy discharge through the lamp = (charge) x (voltage)

Energy = (0.66 C) x (3.0 volt)

Energy = 0.1984 Joule

Energy stored in a capacitor = (1/2) (Capacitance) (voltage²)

0.1984 Joule = (1/2) (Cap) (3.0 v)²

Cap = 2 x 0.1984 / 9

<em>b).  Cap = 0.044 Farad</em> (yikes !)

Resistance of the lamo = (voltage) / (current)

Resistance = (3.0 volt) / (0.207 Amp)

<em>c).  Resistance = 14.49 Ω</em>

All of this feels OK except for that ridiculous 44,000 μF, 3v capacitor.  Sadly, I have checked my work without finding an error, and I am too lazy to check it again.  So I'll call this my final answer, and leave it to some better Brainly person to find where I went wrong.
