John weighs 200 pounds.
In order to lift himself up to a higher place, he has to exert force of 200 lbs.

The stairs to the balcony are 20-ft high.
In order to lift himself to the balcony, John has to do
(20 ft) x (200 pounds)  =  4,000 foot-pounds of work.

If he does it in 6.2 seconds, his RATE of doing work is
(4,000 foot-pounds) / (6.2 seconds)  =  645.2 foot-pounds per second.

The rate of doing work is called "power".

(If we were working in the metric system (with SI units),
the force would be in "newtons", the distance would be in "meters",
1 newton-meter of work would be 1 "joule" of work, and
1 joule of work per second would be 1 "watt".
Too bad we're not working with metric units.)

So back to our problem.

John has to do 4,000 foot-pounds of work to lift himself up to the balcony,
and he's able to do it at the rate of 645.2 foot-pounds per second.

Well, 550 foot-pounds per second is called 1 "horsepower".

So as John runs up the steps to the balcony, he's doing the work
at the rate of

           (645.2 foot-pounds/second) / (550 ft-lbs/sec per HP)

=  1.173 Horsepower.  GO JOHN !

(I'll betcha he needs a shower after he does THAT 3 times.)
_______________________________________________

Oh my gosh !  Look at #26 !  There are the metric units I was talking about.

Do you need #26 ?

I'll give you the answers, but I won't go through the explanation,
because I'm doing all this for only 5 points.

a).  5
b).  750 Joules
c).  800 Joules
d).  93.75%

You're welcome.

And #27 is 0.667 m/s .

Diesel engines make use of a _______ to add additional combustion chamber heat for cold weather starting.
Andrews [41]
Diesel engines are relatively cheaper than most other commercial engines. Combustion in the engine is started by ignition of high temperatures of the fuel. The best answer is B. glow plug. The glow plug is the device that aids this combustion-ignition process most especially for cold weather. Of course, heat is needed to start up the engine. The glow plug is this heating element as aid in starting up.

Two magnets are sliding towards each other. One of the magnets, which has a mass of 125 grams, is moving in the positive x-direc
olasank [31]

Answer:

0.45 m/s in the negative x-direction

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum, the sum of initial momentum equals the sum of final momentum

Momentum, p=mv where m is the mass and v is the velocity

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v_c where v_c is the common velocity, v_1 and v_2 are velocities of magnet moving in positive x-direction and magnet moving in negative x-direction respectively, m_1 and m_2 are masses of magnet moving in positive x-direction and magnet moving in negative x-direction respectively.

Substituting 125 g for m_1 and 85 g for m_2, 7.33 m/s v_1, -11.9 m/s for v_1 then

125 g\times 7.33 m/s + (85 g\times -11.9)=(125 g+ 85 g)\times v_c

-95.25 g. m/s=210 g v_c

v_c=\frac {-95.25 g.m/s}{210 g}=-0.453571429 m/s
\approx -0.45 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of single unit is 0.45 m/s in the negative x-direction

Two gerbils run in place with a linear speed of 0.50 m/s on an exercise wheel that is shaped like a hoop. Find the angular momen
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

L = 0.018 kg m^2/s

Explanation:

Angular speed and linear speed is related to each other as

v = R\omega

here we know that

v = 0.50 m/s

R = 0.08 m

now we have

\omega = \frac{v}{R}

\omega = \frac{0.50}{0.08}

\omega = 6.25 rad/s

Now we know that moment of inertia of the system is given as

I = (2M + m)R^2 [tex][tex]I = (2\times 0.22 + 0.0045)(0.08)^2

I = 2.84 \times 10^{-3} kg m^2

Now angular momentum of the system is given as

L = I\omega

L = (2.84 \times 10^{-3})(6.25)

L = 0.018 kg m^2/s

Why does cold water sink?
KATRIN_1 [288]
Because Any object or substance that is less dense than a fluid will float in that fluid, so hot water rises (floats) in colder water. When fluids are cooled, they contract and therefore become more dense. Any object or substance that is more dense than a fluid will sink in that fluid, so cold water sinks in warmer water
