Answer:

(a) P=33000W

(b) P=51000W

Explanation:

The average power is defined as the amount of work done during a time interval:

P=\frac{W}{t}(1)

According to work-energy theorem, the work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy. So, we have:

W=\Delta K\\W=K_f-K_0\\W=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}-\frac{mv_0^2}{2}\\(2)

Recall that the weight is given by:

w=mg\\m=\frac{w}{g}(3)

The car accelerates uniformly from rest (v_0=0). Replacing (3) in (2), we have:

W=\frac{wv_f^2}{2g}

(a) Finally, we replace this in (1):

P=\frac{wv_f^2}{2gt}\\P=\frac{9000N(20\frac{m}{s})^2}{2(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(5.6s)}\\P=33000W

(b)

P=\frac{14000N(20\frac{m}{s})^2}{2(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(5.6s)}\\P=51000W

If a 10kg block is at rest on a table and a 1200N force is applied in the eastward direction for 10 seconds, what is the acceler
gavmur [86]

Answer:

a = 120 m/s²

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law in the x direction:

∑Fₓ = m*a Formula (1)

Known data

Where:

∑Fₓ: Algebraic sum of forces in the x direction

F: Force in Newtons (N)

m: mass (kg)

a: acceleration of the block (m/s²)

F = 1200N

m = 10 kg

Problem development

We replace the known data in formula (1)

1200 = 10*a

a = 1200/10

a = 120 m/s²

In a carnival booth, you can win a stuffed giraffe if you toss a quarter into a small dish. the dish is on a shelf above the poi
Georgia [21]

components of the speed of the coin is given as

v_x = v cos60

v_x = 6.4 cos60 = 3.2 m/s

v_y = vsin60

v_y = 6.4 sin60 = 5.54 m/s

now the time taken by the coin to reach the plate is given by

t = \frac{\delta x}{v_x}

t = \frac{2.1}{3.2}

t = 0.656 s

now in order to find the height

h = vy * t + \frac{1}{2} at^2

h = 5.54 * 0.656 - \frac{1}{2}*9.8*(0.656)^2

h = 1.52 m

so it is placed at 1.52 m height

Suppose there are 10,000 civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy. If the civilizations were randomly distributed throughout the di
vekshin1

Here is the full question

Suppose there are 10,000 civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy. If the civilizations were randomly distributed throughout the disk of the galaxy, about how far (on average) would it be to the nearest civilization?

(Hint: Start by finding the area of the Milky Way's disk, assuming that it is circular and 100,000 light-years in diameter. Then find the average area per civilization, and use the distance across this area to estimate the distance between civilizations.)

Answer:

1000 light-years (ly)

Explanation:

If we go by the hint; The area of the disk can be expressed as:

A = \pi (\frac{D}{2})^2

where D = 100, 000 ly

Let's divide the Area by the number of civilization; if we do that ; we will be able to get 'n' disk that is randomly distributed; so ;

d= \frac{A}{N} =\frac{\pi (\frac{D}{2})^2 }{10, 000}

The distance between each disk is further calculated by finding the radius of the density which is shown as follows:

d = \pi r^2 e

r^2_e= \frac{d}{\pi}

r_e = \sqrt{\frac{d}{\pi} }

replacing d = \frac{\pi (\frac{D}{2})^2 }{10, 000} in the equation above; we have:

r_e = \sqrt{\frac{\frac{\pi (\frac{D}{2})^2 }{10, 000}}{\pi} }

r_e = \sqrt{\frac{(\frac{D}{2})^2 }{10, 000}}

r_e = \sqrt{\frac{(\frac{100,000}{2})^2 }{10, 000}}

r_e = 500 ly

The distance (s) between each civilization = 2(r_e)

= 2 (500 ly)

= 1000 light-years (ly)
