Answer:

P= 390 W

Explanation:

In physics, power is the rate of doing work or of transferring heat, i.e. the amount of energy transferred or converted per unit time. Work is a force F applied over a distance x. Matemathicaly it means

P = dW/dt ≈ d(F * x)/dt = xdF/dt + Fdx/dt. If force is constant dF/dt=0 so P=F dx/dt = P*v, where v is velocity, the rate of distance per unit time.

We have force and velocity. Newton is unit of Kg*m/s2, hence

P= 150 kgm/s2 * 2.6 m/s =390 Kgm2/s3 = 390 W, where W is Watts and is an unit of power

One baked potato provides an average of 30 mg of vitamin C. If 70 potatoes weigh 20 lb., how many milligrams of vitamin C are pr

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

105 mg

Explanation:

Given that:

1 baked potato provides 30 mg of vitamin C.

So,

70 baked potatoes provide $30\times 70$ mg of vitamin C

Also,

70 potatoes = 20 lb

So,

20 lb potatoes provide $30\times 70$ mg of vitamin C

Thus,

1 lb potatoes provide $\frac {30\times 70}{20}$ mg of vitamin C

<u>Thus, 105 mg of Vitamin C are provided per pound of the potatoes.</u>

padilas [110]

Answer:

$\omega=32.14\ rad/s$

Explanation:

Given that,

The compression in the spring, x = 0.0647 m

Speed of the object, v = 2.08 m/s

To find,

Angular frequency of the object.

Solution,

We know that the elation between the amplitude and the angular frequency in SHM is given by :

$v=\omega\times A$

A is the amplitude

In case of spring the compression in the spring is equal to its amplitude

$\omega=\dfrac{v}{A}$

$\omega=\dfrac{2.08\ m/s}{0.0647\ m}$

$\omega=32.14\ rad/s$

So, the angular frequency of the spring is 32.14 rad/s.

What is the speed of a wave in (m/s) with a 5 meter wavelength and a period of 20 seconds?

arlik [135]

Answer: 0.25 m/s

Explanation: Speed = wavelengt · frequency

v = λf and frequency is 1/period f = 1/T

Then v = λ/T = 5 m / 20 s = 0.25 m/s
