A very smart 3-year-old child is given a wagon for her birthday. She refuses to use it. "After all," she says, "Newton's third l

aw says that no matter how hard I pull, the wagon will exert an equal but opposite force on me. So I will never be able to get it to move forward." What would you say to her in reply?

Answer:

Explanation:

She's correct but doesn't mean the wagon cannot put into motion. The force that she applied on the wagon, according to Newton's 2nd law, would have generated an acceleration, which translates into motion. The reaction force the wagon applies on her due to Newton's 3rd law, would not hinder its own motion.

A 51-kg woman runs up a vertical flight of stairs in 5.0 s. Her net upward displacement is 5.0 m. Approximately, what average po
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The average power the woman exerts is 0.5 kW

Explanation:

We note that power, P = The rate at which work is done = Work/Time

Work = Energy

The total work done is the potential energy gained which is the energy due to vertical displacement

Given that the vertical displacement = 5.0 m, we have

Total work done = Potential energy gained = Mass, m × Acceleration due to gravity, g × Vertical height, h

m = 51 kg

g = Constant = 9.81 m/s²

h = 5.0 m

Also, time, t = 5.0 s

Total work done = 51 kg × 9.81 m/s²× 5 m = 2501.55 kg·m²/s² = 2501.55 J

P = 2501.55 J/(5 s) = 500.31 J/s = 500.31 W ≈ 500 W = 0.5 kW.

Assuming that the tungsten filament of a lightbulb is a blackbody, determine its peak wavelength if its temperature is 3 200 K.
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

the peak wavelength when the temperature is 3200 K = 9.05625*10^{-7} \ m

Explanation:

Given that:

the temperature = 3200 K

By applying  Wien's displacement law ,we have

\lambda _mT = 0.2898×10⁻² m.K

The peak wavelength of the emitted radiation at this temperature is given by

\lambda _m = \frac{0.2898*10^{-2} m.K}{3200 K}

\lambda _m= 9.05625*10^{-7} \ m

Hence, the peak wavelength when the temperature is 3200 K = 9.05625*10^{-7} \ m

NikAS [45]

Answer:

A crane operator drops the cargo by turning off the electric current to the electromagnet. Electromagnets can be controlled by controlling the electric current. An electromagnet is stronger if there is more current flowing through it.
