The speed will increase, as there is acceleration, while the acceleration will remain constant, as gravity is constant.
Answer:
a)Work done by fireman= 2.15 Btu
b) Time t= 0.86 sec
Explanation:
Given that
Weight = 280 lbf
We know that 1 lbf = 4.44 N
so 280 lbf = 1245.5 N
Weight =1245.5 N
Height h = 60 ft
We know that
1 ft = 0.3048 m
So 60 ft = 18.28 m
h =18.28 m
Power = 3.5 hp
We know that
1 hp =0.74 KW
So 3.5 hp = 2.61 KW
Power = 2.61 KJ/s
So the work done by fireman = Weight x h
Now by putting the values
Work done by fireman= 1245.5 x 18.28 J
Work done by fireman= 2267.74 J
Work done by fireman= 2.26774 KJ
We know that 1 Btu= 1.05 KJ
So 2.266 KJ = 2.15 Btu
Work done by fireman= 2.15 Btu
We know that ,rate of work is called power.
Power x time = work
2.61 x t = 2.26
So t= 0.86 sec
D. an outside or unbalanced force acts upon the object.
Natural sources of light include our sun and other stars, where the source of energy is nuclear energy (recall that the moon does not produce light but merely reflects sunlight), lightning, where the source is electrical, and fire, where the energy source is chemical.
