The answer is: 720W
The definition of Power is:P =L/t =→F⋅→s/t =→F⋅→s/t = →F⋅→v
The ⋅ in the last formulation designate a scalar product, well-defined by:
→v . →w = |v| |w| cos(ˆvw), the angle ˆvw is 0 because →F and →v are parallel, so the cosinus is 1.
So: P=1800N⋅ 0,40m/s=720W.

Are the objects described here in static equilibrium, dynamic equilibrium, or not equilibrium at all? Explain.
Alexandra [31]
Let us examine the given situations one at a time.

Case a. A 200-pound barbell is held over your head.
The barbell is in static equilibrium because it is not moving.
Answer: STATIC EQUILIBRIUM

Case b. A girder is being lifted at a constant speed by a crane.
The girder is moving, but not accelerating. It is in dynamic equilibrium.
Answer: DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM

Case c: A jet plane has reached its cruising speed at an altitude.
The plane is moving at cruising speed, but not accelerating. It is in dynamic equilibrium.
Answer: DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM

Case d: A box in the back of a truck doesn't slide as the truck stops.
The box does not slide because the frictional force between the box and the floor of the truck balances out the inertial force. The box is in static equilibrium.
Answer: STATIC EQUILIBRIUM

A heat pump with a COP of 3.15 is used to heat an air-tight house. When running, the heat pump consumes 5 kW of power. If the te
Jet001 [13]

Answer: 1026s, 17.1m

Explanation:

Given

COP of heat pump = 3.15

Mass of air, m = 1500kg

Initial temperature, T1 = 7°C

Final temperature, T2 = 22°C

Power of the heat pump, W = 5kW

The amount of heat needed to increase temperature in the house,

Q = mcΔT

Q = 1500 * 0.718 * (22 - 7)

Q = 1077 * 15

Q = 16155

Rate at which heat is supplied to the house is

Q' = COP * W

Q' = 3.15 * 5

Q' = 15.75

Time required to raise the temperature is

Δt = Q/Q'

Δt = 16155 / 15.75

Δt = 1025.7 s

Δt ~ 1026 s

Δt ~ 17.1 min

What would changing the frequency of a wave do to the wave?
nata0808 [166]
The data convincingly show that wave frequency does not affect wave speed. An increase in wave frequency caused a decrease in wavelength while the wave speed remained constant. The last three trials involved the same procedure with a different rope tension.

Find the voltage
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Explanation:

solve the parallel resistances

30||40     and 50||30

17.14285714   and 18.75

total Resistance = 35.89285714

V = IR

9V = I *35.89285714

9V / 35.89285714 = I

0.250746 = I

Now use the resistance across AB

V = 17.14285714 * 0.250746

V = 4.29850

this is the Voltage drop across AB  :P

A toy car has a 1.5 A current, and its resistance is 2 Ω. How much voltage does the car require?
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Battery Voltage

Explanation:

Voltage refers to the amount of electrical potential your battery holds. The standard automotive battery in today's vehicles is a 12-volt battery. Each battery has six cells, each with 2.1 volts at full charge. A car battery is considered fully charged at 12.6 volts or higher. hope this helps you :)
