John weighs 200 pounds.
In order to lift himself up to a higher place, he has to exert force of 200 lbs.
The stairs to the balcony are 20-ft high.
In order to lift himself to the balcony, John has to do
(20 ft) x (200 pounds) = 4,000 foot-pounds of work.
If he does it in 6.2 seconds, his RATE of doing work is
(4,000 foot-pounds) / (6.2 seconds) = 645.2 foot-pounds per second.
The rate of doing work is called "power".
(If we were working in the metric system (with SI units),
the force would be in "newtons", the distance would be in "meters",
1 newton-meter of work would be 1 "joule" of work, and
1 joule of work per second would be 1 "watt".
Too bad we're not working with metric units.)
So back to our problem.
John has to do 4,000 foot-pounds of work to lift himself up to the balcony,
and he's able to do it at the rate of 645.2 foot-pounds per second.
Well, 550 foot-pounds per second is called 1 "horsepower".
So as John runs up the steps to the balcony, he's doing the work
at the rate of
(645.2 foot-pounds/second) / (550 ft-lbs/sec per HP)
= 1.173 Horsepower. GO JOHN !
(I'll betcha he needs a shower after he does THAT 3 times.)
_______________________________________________
Oh my gosh ! Look at #26 ! There are the metric units I was talking about.
Do you need #26 ?
I'll give you the answers, but I won't go through the explanation,
because I'm doing all this for only 5 points.
a). 5
b). 750 Joules
c). 800 Joules
d). 93.75%
You're welcome.
And #27 is 0.667 m/s .
Answer:
Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
Explanation:
Answer:
Horizontal distance=?m
Explanation:
Horizontal velocity,u=482ms⁻¹
Height of the cliff=17.7m
Horizontal distance,R=?
R=v×√2h/g
f(3) represents the number of additional square feet the construction crew has paved after 3 hours, not including the initial paved amount.
Mathematical models are representations of real situations. Models often serve the purpose of prediction and can help to explain and simplify certain mathematical problems.
The model; f(x) = 300x + 1,000 represents the number of additional square feet that can be paved in an hour after 1,000 square feet has already been paved.
From the above we can see that the correct answer is; "900 square feet; f(3) represents the number of additional square feet the construction crew has paved after 3 hours, not including the initial paved amount."
