Answer:

d. At the base of the fire

Explanation:

Most fire extinguisher utilize the non-combustible nature of carbon-dioxide . carbon-dioxide is what is used in fire extinguishers, because it does not support burning. Also, carbon-dioxide is denser than air, allowing it to sink down. Aiming at the bottom of the flame allows the carbon-dioxide to sink down on the base of the flame, covering the base of the fire, and cutting off its supply of oxygen which is vital for combustion.

In an experiment, students measure the position x of a cart as a function of time t for a cart that starts at rest and moves wit
Minchanka [31]

Given :

Initial velocity , u = 0 m/s² .

To Find :

The acceleration of the cart.

Solution :

Since, acceleration is constant.

Using equation of motion :

x = ut + \dfrac{at^2}{2}\\\\x = \dfrac{at^2}{2}

Putting, t = 1 s  and x = 4 m in above equation, we get :

4 = \dfrac{a(1)^2}{2}\\\\a = 8 \  m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the cart is 8 m/s².

A 55 kg track and field athlete has an average power output of 5.4 kW during the 200 meter dash. How quickly did she finish the
olga_2 [115]

The time taken for the athlete to finish the race is 20 s (Option A)

<h3>What is power? </h3>

Power is simply defined as the rate at which work is done. It can be expressed mathematically as

Power (P) = work (W) / time (t)

But

Work = weight × distance

Therefore,

Power = (weight × distance ) / time

<h3>How to determine the time </h3>
  • Mass (m) = 55 Kg
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Weight = mg = 55 × 9.8 = 539 N
  • Power (P) = 5.4 KW = 5.4 × 1000 = 5400 W
  • Distance (d) = 200 m
  • Time (t) =?

Power = (weight × distance ) / time

5400 = (539 × 200) / t

5400 = 107800 / t

Cross multiply

5400 × t = 107800

Divide both side by 5400

t = 107800 / 5400

t = 20 s
