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

A light wave encounters a partial physical barrier, such as a wall with a hole in it. What is MOST LIKELY to occur?

tatiyna

Most likely, the light wave will be absorbed by the wall. Without any information as to the size and color of the wall, the location and size of the hole, or the location of the light wave, this is a generalized probability problem. For all of the places the light could be, it's more likely that it hits the wall than the hole (if the hole is less than 50% of the area of the wall).

The drawing shows a large cube (mass = 28.6 kg) being accelerated across a horizontal frictionless surface by a horizontal force

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

P= 454.11 N

Explanation:

Since P is the only horizontal force acting on the system, it can be defined as the product of the acceleration by the total mass of the system (both cubes).

$P= (M+m)*a\\a = \frac{P}{28.6 +4.3}\\a = \frac{P}{32.9}$

The friction force between both cubes (F) is defined as the normal force acting on the smaller cube multiplied by the coefficient of static friction. Since both cubes are subject to the same acceleration:

$F = m * a*\mu \\F= 4.3*0.710*\frac{P}{32.9}\\F=3.053*\frac{P}{32.9}$

In order for the small cube to not slide down, the friction force must equal the weight of the small cube:

$3.053*\frac{P}{32.9} = 4.3 * g\\\\P = \frac{4.3*9.8*32.9}{3.053} \\P= 454.11 N$

The smallest magnitude that P can have in order to keep the small cube from sliding downward is 454.11 N

This dude was sitting in the chair. Someone pulls the chair out from under him. He does not move in the direction of the chair.

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

This shows inertia because inertia is an object's resistance to change in motion. When the person (imma call them a she) who pulled the chair from under the guy did that, the chair was the one affected by the force of the girl, not the guy. The guy continued heading in the direction he was originally going, which was down.

At least, that's about how I would answer this question.
