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

Does sand stay sand forever?

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

No sand doesn't stay sand forever.

Explanation:

We may have a thought that the sand we see on the beach areas are always the same one for eternal, but it is not true.
Due to different activities like beach nourishment, sand replenishment etc. the sand in the beach areas are changed and replaced.
If the sand remained there for long time, it also affects the sand eating organisms and plants.

A stone is thrown horizontally from the top of an inclined plane (angle of inclination θ). How would I find the initial speed of

Katen [24]

Answer:

S = V t where S is the horizontal distance traveled

1/2 g t^2 = H where H is the vertical distance traveled

t^2 = 2 H / g

V^2 = S^2 / t^2 = S^2 g / (2 H) combining equations

tan theta = H / S

V^2 = S g / (2 tan theta)

Using S = L cos theta

V^2 = L g cos theta / (2 tan theta)

Giving V in terms of L and theta

If a box of supplies is dropped from the cargo hold of an airplane travelling at an altitude of 4,410 meters how long will it ta

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

It will take 30 seconds to reach the ground, and it will be travelling at 294 m/s when it does so. This means that its average velocity was 147 m/s.

Explanation:

$d=v_ot+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

Since the initial velocity of a dropped object is 0, we can make this the equation:

$d=\dfrac{1}{2}at^2 \\\\4410=\dfac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2 \\\\t^2=900$

$t=30\text{ seconds}$

The final velocity can be calculated with the formula:

$v_f=v_o+at$

Once again, since there is no initial velocity:

$v_f=at \\\\v_f=(9.8)(30)=294m/s$

Since the initial velocity is 0, the average vertical velocity is 294/2=147 m/s.

Hope this helps!

The sun's radiation has different wavelengths. the shorter is the radiation's wavelength, the weaker is the radiation's energy.

NeX [460]

It is false. Because the amount of energy carried in the wave is inversely related to the length of the waves wavelength. To correct the statement it should be that the shorter the radiation's wavelength the stronger is the radiation's energy.
