1.) The force of gravity is what we call weight, we define it as:
w=mg
w=5,7kg*9,8m/s²
w=55,86kg (b)
2.) We know that:
power=W/t
power=50J/20s
power=2,5Watts (a)
3.) The work done is equal to the potential energy, so:
Epg=mgh
Epg=63kg*9,8m/s²*7m
Epg=4321J
Now we get the power:
power=W/t
power=4321J/5s
power=864Watts
Now:
1HP=746Watts
=1,16HP (b)
4.) We know that:
F=ma
350N=m*10m/s²
m=350N/10m/s²
m=35kg (b)
5.) d.) Aceleration is tha rate of change in velocity, either positive (increasing) or negative (decreasing)

==>  A package was determined . . .

                   Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

Gravity on Earth = 9.8 m/s²

                   Weight = (5.7 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

                               =  55.86 kg-m/s² .                 1 kg-m/s² = 1 N

==> 50 J of work was performed . . .

     Power = (work done) / (time to do the work)

                 =  (50 J)  /  (20 sec)

                 =    2.5 J/sec                    1 J/sec = 1 watt

==> A 63-kg object needs . . .

       Weight = (mass) x (gravity)
       Work = (force) x (distance)
       Power = (work done) / (time to do the work)

So  Power = (mass) x (gravity) x (distance) / (time to lift)

                   = (63 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (7 m)  /  (5 sec)

                   =  (63 x 9.8 x 7) / (5)     (kg-m²/s²) / (sec)

                   =          864.36 joules/sec

Convert                  (864.36 watts) x (1 HP/746 watts)  =  1.159 HP

(How to remember the conversion from watts to Horsepower:
    The sails on Columbus' ship the Santa Maria developed 2 HP at top wind.
     1492 / 2  =  746 watts per HP.  )

==> A force of 350 N  causes . . .

         Force  = (mass) x (acceleration)

         Mass  =  (force) / (acceleration)

                   =  (350 kg-m/s²) / (10 m/s²)

                   =        35 kg.

==> Which of the following . . .

         Golden Rule:  "Acceleration means any change in velocity,
                                   including change in speed or direction."

A).  No.  Constant velocity means zero acceleration.
B).  No.  When people say "decelerating" they mean "slowing down".
               That's decreasing magnitude of velocity.
C). Yes.  'Acceleration' does NOT mean 'speeding up'.   Any change
               in speed or direction, even slowing down, is acceleration.
D). Yes.  If an object's velocity is changing, then either the speed or direction of its motion is changing, and either of those is 'acceleration'.  The object doesn't need to be speeding up or slowing down, but if its direction is changing, then that's called 'acceleration.  Rounding a curve at a constant speed, or driving a circle with constant speed, are both examples of 'acceleration'.

ivann1987 [24]

No temperature change occurs from heat transfer if ice melts and becomes liquid water (i.e., during a phase change). For example, consider water dripping from icicles melting on a roof warmed by the Sun. Conversely, water freezes in an ice tray cooled by lower-temperature surroundings.

A car traveling in a straight line has a velocity of 6m/s at some instant. After 6.32s its velocity is 13.2m/s . What is the ave
NeX [460]
Average acceleration  =  (change in speed) / (time for the change) .

Average acceleration  =  (13.2 - 6) / (6.32) = 7.2 / 6.32 = about  <em>1.139... m/s²</em> .

What will happen to plant height if the amount of available light is reduced due to global dimming? Which type of investigation
Lorico [155]
The plant will not grow. In fact it could have all the nutrients and all the water it needs, but without a sufficient amount of light, it could die because its leaves are meant for a certain minimum amount of light.
