Answer:

B. 2.5 W

Explanation:

Power: This can be defined as the rate at which energy used or it i the rate at which work is done. The S.I unit of power is Watt (W).

Mathematically,

Power = Energy or work/Time

P = W/t ........................Equation 1

Where P = power used to perform the task, W = work, t = time.

Given: W = 50 J, t = 20 s.

Substitute into equation 1

P = 50/20

P = 2.5 W.

Hence the power is 2.5 W.

The right option is B. 2.5 W

Player 2 because moment is mass times acceleration and since they are all going the same speed. Speed doesn't matter so the only thing that is left is mass/ weight and he has the most

You have a pendulum clock made from a uniform rod of mass M and length L pivoting around one end of the rod. Its frequency is 1

drek231 [11]

The new oscillation frequency of the pendulum clock is 1.14 rad/s.

The given parameters;

Mass of the pendulum, = M
Length of the pendulum, = L
Initial angular speed, $\omega _i$ = 1 rad/s

The moment of inertia of the rod about the end is given as;

$I_i = \frac{1}{3} ML^2$

The moment of inertia of the rod between the middle and the end is calculated as;

$I_f = \int\limits^L_{L/2} {r^2\frac{M}{L} } \, dr = \frac{M}{3L} [r^3]^L_{L/2} = \frac{M}{3L} [L^3 - \frac{L^3}{8} ] = \frac{M}{3L} [\frac{7L^3}{8} ]= \frac{7ML^2}{24}$

Apply the principle of conservation of angular momentum as shown below;

$I _i \omega _i = I _f \omega _f\\\\\frac{ML^2}{3} (1 \ rad/s)= \frac{7ML^2}{24} \times \omega _f\\\\\frac{24 \times ML^2}{3 \times 7 ML^2} (1 \ rad/s)= \omega _f\\\\1.14 \ rad/s = \omega _f$

Thus, the new oscillation frequency of the pendulum clock is 1.14 rad/s.

Which statements describe features that maps and globes share? Check all that apply.

leonid [27]

Maps and Globes share the following features:

Both are scale Models.

Explanation:

A globe is a scale model of the Earth that presents the most accurate depiction of geographic information such as area, distance, and direction.

A map is a two dimensional representation or a drawing of the earth’s surface, or a part of it, on a flat surface, according to a scale. Thus it is also a scale model.

A globe differs from a map. It is a three dimensional sphere representing the whole Earth.

A map is usually used to represent a specific part of the Earth and is used for Navigation. It has details and symbols. However, a globe can not be used for such details.

A globe can be used to get a broad-level picture of the world.
