Answer:

553.8 Watts

0.74 Hp

Explanation:

Power is work done per unit time, expressed as

P=W/t

Where P is power, t is time taken and W is work done.

Work is the product of force and perpendicular distance moved hence W=Fd where F is force and d is perpendicular distance.

Substituting W with Fd into the first formula then power is expressed as

P=Fd/t

Substituting F with 600 N, d with 6 m and t with 6.5 seconds then

P=600*6/6.5=553.84615384615 Watts

Rounded off as 553.8W

1 W=0.00134 british horsepower

553.8 W=0.00134*553.8=0.742719926544903597 Hp

Alternatively, we divide the watts by 746 hence 553.8/746=0.7424211177562

Rounding off, power is equal to 0.74 Hp

The battery for a certain cell phone is rated at 3.70 V. According to the manufacturer it can produce math]3.15 \times 10^{4} J[

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The average current that this cell phone draws when turned on is 0.451 A.

Explanation:

Given;

voltage of the phone, V = 3.7 V

electrical energy of the phone battery, E = 3.15 x 10⁴ J

duration of battery energy, t = 5.25 h

The power the cell phone draws when turned on, is the rate of energy consumption, and this is calculated as follows;

$P = \frac{E}{t}$

where;

P is power in watts

E is energy in Joules

t is time in seconds

$P = \frac{3.15*10^4}{5.25*3600s} = 1.667 \ W$

The average current that this cell phone draws when turned on:

P = IV

$I = \frac{P}{V} =\frac{1.667}{3.7} = 0.451 \ A$

Therefore, the average current that this cell phone draws when turned on is 0.451 A.

Find the equivalent resistance of this parallel circuit with two strands.

svlad2 [7]

In a parallel circuit, the total resistance calculated from the individual resistances is computed from the formula: 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2. substituting R1 and R2, then
1/Rt = 1/7 + 1/49
1/Rt = 1/6.125 = 1/ 49/8
Rt = 49/8 <span>Ω

The total resistance hence is </span>49/8 Ω

A technician wishes to determine the wavelength of the light in a laser beam. To do so, she directs the beam toward a partition

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

λ = 5.656 x 10⁻⁷ m = 565.6 nm

Explanation:

Using the formula of fringe spacing from the Young's Double Slit experiment, which is given as follows:

$\Delta x = \frac{\lambda L}{d}\\\\\lambda = \frac{\Delta x\ d}{L}$

where,

λ = wavelength = ?

Δx = fringe spacing = 1.6 cm = 0.016 m

L = Distance between slits and screen = 4.95 m

d = slit separation = 0.175 mm = 0.000175 m

Therefore,

$\lambda = \frac{(0.016\ m)(0.000175\ m)}{4.95\ m}\\\\$
