What is the power involved in lifting a 10-kg object 1.0 m in 0.50 s?

1 answer:

5 0

In this question, we know that mass= 10 kg = 10 x 1000 = 10,000 g
Distance = 1 m and Time = 0.5 s

Power = Force x Velocity
Velocity = Distance / Time = 1 m / 0.5 s = 2 m/s
So, Power = Force x (Distance / Time)
But Force= Mass x Acceleration due to gravity (g)
So, Force = 10 kg x 9.8 m/s $^{2}$ = 98
Therefore, Power =Force x Velocity= 98 x 2 = 196 W

A shopper does 157 J of work pushing a cart with 10.9 N force

Tanzania [10]

The cart travelled a distance of 14.4 m

Explanation:

The work done by a force when pushing an object is given by:

$W=Fd cos \theta$

where:

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement

In this problem we have:

W = 157 J is the work done on the cart

F = 10.9 N is the magnitude of the force

$\theta=0^{\circ}$ , assuming the force is applied parallel to the motion of the cart

Therefore we can solve for d to find the distance travelled by the cart:

$d=\frac{W}{F cos \theta}=\frac{157}{(10.9)(cos 0)}=14.4 m$

When exposed to a radioactive source which emits 1.2-MeV gamma-rays, a particular material is found to have a half-value thickne

iren2701 [21]

Answer:E

Explanation:

It is given that Energy of gamma ray is E=1.2 Mev

Shielding effect can be measured by measuring the fraction of gamma rays blocked by shield. If certain thickness will able to block half the radiation then to block 75% radiation we need to add same amount of thickness in order to block the remaining radiation.

i.e. $\frac{E}{2}$ fraction is blocked by 10 cm thickness

then remaining radiation is $\frac{E}{2}$

another 10 cm thickness will block the remaining half radiation i.e. $\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{E}{2}=\frac{E}{4}$

so total 75 % radiation will be blocked

Answer: option C.

Fabrics such as cotton and silk are synthetic polymers

Explanation:

Fabrics such as cotton and silk are synthetic polymers because cotton and silk are natural polymers meaning they are gotten from natural source. Cotton is gotten from cotton plants and it is composed of cellulose which is a carbohydrates.

Silk also is gotten from animals I.efrom insect fibre or the cocoons of the larvae of the mulberry silkworm which is a polymer.

A light bulb connects to a battery. A second, identical light bulb connects in parallel to the first light bulb. The connecting

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:d

Explanation:

Suppose V is the voltage of battery and R is the resistance of bulb

so Power drop for initial stage

$P_1=\frac{V^2}{R}$

When another identical bulb of same resistance is applied in parallel so voltage Drop across both the resistor will be same i.e. V

so Power consumed $P_2=\frac{V^2}{R}$

so there is no change in power and hence no dip in brightness
