Answer:

1764 kilowatt

Explanation:

h = 120 m, mass per second = 1500 kg/s

Power = m g h / t

Power = 1500 x 9.8 x 120 / 1

Power = 1764000 Watt

Power = 1764 kilowatt

A ship left the dock and travelled north at 50km/hr for 2 hours then it turned west at 60km/hr for 3 hours. What is the net resu
muminat

Answer:

resultant displacement = 20√1o6 km = 205912.6 m in the direction of western north.

Explanation:

assume that the ship started moving from A to B (north at 50km/hr for 2 hours) so the covered distance will be: 50*2 = 100 km

then it moves from B to C so the covered distance will be: 3*60 = 180 km

using Pythagoras, we get the resultant displacement = 20√1o6 km = 205912.6 m in the direction of western north.

A disk of radius 25 cm spinning at a rate of 30 rpm slows to a stop over 3 seconds. what is the angular acceleration?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

α = -π/3 rad/s²

θ = 1.5π rad ≈ 4.71 rad

θ = 0.75 rev

Explanation:

30 rev/min (2π rad/rev) / (60 s/min) = π rad/s

α = (ωf - ωi) / t = (0 - π) / 3 = -π/3 rad/s²

θ = ½αt² = ½(π/3)3² = 1.5π rad ≈ 4.71 rad

θ = 1.5π rad / 2π rad/rev = 0.75 rev

As an tempature decreases what happens to the rate of radiation?
Firlakuza [10]
As the temperature decreases, the rate of radiation goes down, but the radiation exists as long as the temperature is above the absolute zero, which is actually 0 Kelvin. 0 Kelvin equals -273°C or -460°F. All objects in the world radiate if above that temperature.

A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 hour 30 minutes. She then makes a course correction, heading 45 degrees to the right of h
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

1199 miles

Explanation:

1 hour 30 minutes = 1 + 30/60 = 1.5 hours

2 hours 15 minutes = 2 + 15/60 = 2.25 hours

The distance she flew in the 1st segment is:

1.5*345 = 517.5 miles

The distance she flew in the 2nd segment is:

2.25 * 345 = 776.25 miles

Since the 2nd segment is 45 degree with respect to the 1st segment, this means that she has flown

776.25 * cos(45) = 549 miles in-line with the 1st segment and

776.25* sin(45) = 549 miles perpendicular to the 1st segment:

So the distance from the end to her starting position is

\sqrt{(517.5 + 549)^2 + 549^2} = 1199 miles

A stream moving with a speed of 7.1 m/s reaches a point where the cross-sectional area of the stream decreases to one half of th
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

14.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

Speed of the stream, v₁ = 7.1 m/s

let the cross section area at initial point be A₁

now area at the second point, A₂ = (1/2)A₁ = 0.5A₁

now, from the continuity equation, we have

A₁v₁ = A₂v₂

where, v₂ is the velocity at the narrowed portion

thus, on substituting the values, we get

A₁ × 7.1 = 0.5A₁ × v₂

or

v₂ = 14.2 m/s
