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.

Answer:

"What is the best advice a parent can give a child?"

Explanation:

The other answers have one clear response. Ex: Orange popsicles melt faster than grape popsicles. That would be a fact.

But parental advice can vary, depending on your opinion. I may say that all parents must teach their children not to talk to strangers, while someone else may say that parents should advice their kids to treat everyone fairly. Nothing can be proven as the only appropriate response.

Hope this helps!

Why are body senses in psychology?

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer: Body senses provide you with information about the position of your body in respect to your environment. The four main ones are touch, pain, vestibular, and kinesthesis.

More in details:

Our senses allow us to experience the world we live in, and are one of the key components of consciousness. ... This is why the study of our senses, or sensation, is considered to be such an important area of psychology, because it is one of the key components that makes consciousness possible.

Add a vector whose magnitude is 13 with angle 27 degrees to one whose magnitude is 11 with angle 45 degrees? Put the length firs

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Magnitude of the vector is $23.75\ \text{units}$ and the direction is $35.23^{\circ}$

Explanation:

Magnitude of first vector = $|A| = 13\ \text{units}$

Angle = $\theta_1=27^{\circ}$

Magnitude of second vector = $|B| = 11\ \text{units}$

Angle = $\theta_2=45^{\circ}$

x component of first vector

$A_{x}=|A|\cos\theta_1\\\Rightarrow A_x=13\cos27^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow A_x=11.6\ \text{units}$

y component of first vector

$A_{y}=|A|\sin\theta_1\\\Rightarrow A_y=13\sin27^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow A_y=5.9\ \text{units}$

x component of second vector

$B_{x}=|B|\cos\theta_2\\\Rightarrow B_x=11\cos45^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow B_x=7.8\ \text{units}$

y component of first vector

$B_{y}=|B|\sin\theta_2\\\Rightarrow B_y=11\sin45^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow A_y=7.8\ \text{units}$

Adding the magnitudes

$C_x=A_x+B_x=11.6+7.8\\\Rightarrow C_x=19.4\ \text{units}$

$C_y=A_y+B_y=5.9+7.8\\\Rightarrow C_y=13.7\ \text{units}$

Magnitude of the sum of the vectors would be

$|C|=\sqrt{C_x^2+C_y^2}\\\Rightarrow |C|=\sqrt{19.4^2+13.7^2}=23.75\ \text{units}$

The direction would be

$\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{C_y}{C_x}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{13.7}{19.4}\\\Rightarrow \theta=35.23^{\circ}$

The magnitude of the vector is $23.75\ \text{units}$ and the direction is $35.23^{\circ}$
