Answer: 1479watts
Explanation:
Power is defined as the energy expended or work done in a specific time.
Mathematically,
Power = Workdone/time taken
Since work done is force × distance
Power = force × distance/time
Force = Mary's weight = 87N
Distance = height of the flight = 102meters
Time = 6.0seconds
Substituting in the formula we have;
Power = 87 × 102/6
Power = 1,479watts
Note that the time must be in seconds before usage. If its given in minutes, you will have to convert to seconds
Answer:
<em> The elastic potential energy stored in the bungee cord = 20 J</em>
Explanation:
potential energy: This is the energy possessed by a body due to its position. The S.I unit of energy is Joules. The mathematical expression for elastic potential energy is given below
E = 1/2ke²................ Equation 1
Where E = elastic potential energy of the spring, k = force constant of the spring, e = extension
<em>Given: K = 10 N/m, e = 2.00 m</em>
<em>Substituting these values into Equation 1</em>
<em>E = 1/2(10)(2)²</em>
<em>E = 5×4</em>
<em>E = 20 Joules.</em>
<em>Therefore the elastic potential energy stored in the bungee cord = 20 J</em>
<em></em>
Average speed (v) = total distance(d) / total time (t)
d = 57 + 87km = 144km
t = 2 + 3hrs = 5hrs
v = d÷t = 144÷5 = 28.8km/hr
