The moon has a small amount of gravity. Low tides mean the moon is not pulling on the water. High tides mean that the moon is pulling on the water.

Den pushes a desk 400 cm across the floor. He exerts a force of 10 N for 8 s to move the desk. What is his power output? (Power:

White raven [17]

Answer:

5 W

Explanation:

The formula of the power is:

● P = W/t

W is the work and t is the time needed to do it(in seconds)

Let's calculate first the work that the force exerced:

W = Vector F . Vector d

D is the distance ( here 400 cm wich is 4 m)

Make a representation to see how are the vectors F and V.(picture below)

The vector F and d are colinear since Den is pushing the desk on the ground.

● W = 4 × 10 = 40 J

J is Joule

● P = W / t

● P = 40/ 8

● P = 5 W

A horizontal beam of light of intensity 25 W/m2 is sent through two polarizing sheets. The polarizing direction of the first mak

Zina [86]

Answer:

option (B)

Explanation:

Intensity of unpolarised light, I = 25 W/m^2

When it passes from first polarisr, the intensity of light becomes

$I'=\frac{I_{0}}{2}=\frac{25}{2}=12.5 W/m^{2}$

Let the intensity of light as it passes from second polariser is I''.

According to the law of Malus

$I'' = I' Cos^{2}\theta$

Where, θ be the angle between the axis first polariser and the second polariser.

$I'' = 12.5\times Cos^{2}15$

I'' = 11.66 W/m^2

I'' = 11.7 W/m^2

One end of a metal rod is in contact with a thermal reservoir at 745. K, and the other end is in contact with a thermal reservoi

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

a) $S_1=-9.65}\ J/K$

b) $S_2=71.18\ J/K$

c) 0 J/K

d)S= 61.53 J/K

Explanation:

Given that

T₁ = 745 K

T₂ = 101 K

Q= 7190 J

The entropy change of reservoir 745 K

$S_1=-\dfrac{7190}{745}\ J/K$

Negative sign because heat is leaving.

$S_1=-9.65}\ J/K$

The entropy change of reservoir 101 K

$S_2=\dfrac{7190}{101}\ J/K$

$S_2=71.18\ J/K$

The entropy change of the rod will be zero.

The entropy change of the system

S= S₁ + S₂

S = 71.18 - 9.65 J/K

S= 61.53 J/K

A sports car is advertised to be able to stop in a distance of 50.0 m from a speed of 80 km. What is its acceleration and how ma

Flauer [41]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the sports car, u = 80 km/h = 22.22 m/s

Final speed of the runner, v = 0

Distance covered by the sports car, d = 80 km = 80000 m

Let a is the acceleration of the sports car. It can be calculated using third equation of motion as :

$v^2-u^2=2ad$

$a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2d}$

$a=\dfrac{0-(22.22)^2}{2\times 80000}$

$a=-0.00308\ m/s^2$

Value of g, $g=9.8\ m/s^2$

$a=\dfrac{-0.00308}{9.8}\ m/s^2$

$a=(-0.000314)\ g\ m/s^2$

Hence, this is required solution.
