Light gates are more reliable. When using a manual stop watch, it is difficult to stop it at an exact time. A light gate is able to detect when an object passes through a 'gate' with the infrared transmitter and receiver.

A worker is thinking about two ways to get a box up 1.2 m onto a loading dock. He can use a force of 250 N to lift it straight u
harina [27]

Answer:

<em>The second option has a lower power output. P=30 W</em>

Explanation:

<u>Mechanical Power </u>

It is a physical magnitude that measures the rate a work W is done over time t.

\displaystyle P=\frac{W}{t}

Since W=F.d

\displaystyle P=\frac{F.d}{t}

The first option means the worker will lift the box by a distance of 1.2 meters in 3 seconds by applying 250 N of force. That produces a power of

\displaystyle P=\frac{(250). (1.2)}{3}=100\ Watt

The second option requires the worker applies 75 N of force and travel a distance of 4 meters for 10 seconds, thus the power is

\displaystyle P=\frac{(75). (4)}{10}=30\ Watt

The second option has a lower power output

Which ball has the greater average speed during the 1-s interval after release (assuming neither hits the ground during that tim
notka56 [123]

Answer:

The ball thrown downward

Explanation:

When the ball is thrown vertically, the acceleration of it is the gravity acceleration independent if it is thrown downward or upward. However, the acceleration is a vector, so, when the ball is thrown upward, the movement is against the gravity, so the acceleration is negative, and so, the velocity decreases during time; and when the ball is thrown downward, the movement goes to the gravity, so the acceleration is positive, so the velocity increase after time passes.

If one bullet is dropped from a certain height and another is fired from a gun horizontally from the same height which one will
Zinaida [17]

If the ground is flat, and both bullets are released at the same time from the same height, then they both hit the ground at the same time.

The horizontal motion of the one from the gun has no effect on its vertical motion.
