You and a friend each carry a 15 kg suitcase up two flights of stairs, walking at a constant speed. Take each suitcase to be the

system. Suppose you carry your suitcase up the stairs in 30 s while your friend takes the 60s.
Which of the following is true?
a. You did more work, but both of you expended the same power.
b. You did more work and expended more power.
c. Both of you did the same work, but you expended more power.
d. Both of you did the same work, but you expended less power.

Answer:

Both of you did the same work but you expended more power.

Explanation:              

<em>Work done</em> by an object is calculated by force applied multiplied by the distance.

  W=F*d

From the figure given below let us calculate force applied bith you and yopur friend.

Let us take the stairs in positive x direction,

Work done by you W₁ ,

The force applied Fₓ = F - mgsinθ =maₓ

here aₓ = 0, because both of you move with constant speed

F - mgsinθ = 0

F=  mgsinθ

The work done by you on the suitcase is

W = F L cos0°  ,    where L is he length of the staircase.

W = FL = mgsinθL ,  by substituting value of F

Work done by you is W₁ = mgLsinθ

Similarly work done by your friend is W₂ = mgLsinθ.

Because both of you carry suitcase of same weight and in staircase is in same angle the force applied is same .

Therefore <em>work done by both of you is same</em> . Both of you did equal work.

The power , is defined as amount of energy converted or transfered per second or rate at which work is done .

P =\frac{W}{t} =\frac{FL}{t}

Power spend by you P₁ = mgLsinθ/t

P₁ = 15*9.8*Lsinθ/30

P₁ = 4.9L sinθ  eqn 1

Power spend by your friend is P₂ = mgLsinθ/t

P₂ =15*9.8*Lsinθ/60

P₂ = 2.45Lsinθ    eqn 2

Dividing eqn 1 and eqn 2

P₁ = 2P₂

You have spend more power than your friend .

Hence Both of you did equal work but you spend more power.

Help asap please I will give you 5stars
boyakko [2]

Explanation:

In the parallel combination, the equivalent resistance is given by :

\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{R_1}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}+....

4. When three 150 ohms resistors are connected in parallel, the equivalent is given by :

\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{150}+\dfrac{1}{150}+\dfrac{1}{150}\\\\R=50\ \Omega

5. Three resistors of 20 ohms, 40 ohms and 100 ohms are connected in parallel, So,

\dfrac{1}{R}=\dfrac{1}{20}+\dfrac{1}{40}+\dfrac{1}{100}\\\\=11.76\ \Omega

Hence, this is the required solution.

An electric field of intensity 3.80 kN/C is applied along the x-axis. Calculate the electric flux through a rectangular plane 0.
lakkis [162]

Answer: 1.55 x 10⁴ Nm²c^-1

Explanation: The electric flux, electric field intensity and area are related by the formulae below.

Φ= EAcosθ,

Where Φ= electric flux (Nm²c^-1)

E =electric field intensity (N/m²)

A = Area (m²)

θ= this is angle between the planar area and the magnetic flux

For our question E=3.80KN/c= 3800 N/c

A= 0.700 x 0.350= 0.245m²

θ= 0° ( this is because the electric field was applied along the x axis, thus the electric flux will be parallel to the area).

Hence Φ= 3800 x 0.245 x cos(0)

= 3800 x 0.245 x 1 (value of cos 0° =1)

= 1.55 x 10⁴ Nm²c^-1

Thus the electric field is 1.55 x 10⁴ Nm²c^-1
