Given: Mass m = 18 Kg;   Height h = 3.6 m;   Time t = 60 s

Required:  Power output  in unit of Watts

Formula: P = mgh/t

               P = (18 Kg)(9.8 m/s²)(3.6 m)/60 s

               P = 10.58 J/s or Watts

Which layer of the atmosphere has the highest density?
fomenos

Answer:

The Troposphere is the lowermost portion of Earth’s atmosphere. It is the densest layer of the atmosphere and contains approximately 75 percent of the mass of the atmosphere and almost all the water vapor and aerosol. The troposphere extends from the Earth’s surface up to the tropopause where the stratosphere begins.

A block on a horizontal frictionless plane is attached to a spring, as shown below. The block oscillates along the x-axis with s
AleksandrR [38]

The question is about unclear since no picture provided. But from the question, it could be guessed that the box is moving back and forth on the frictionless plane at the amplitude of A in simple harmonic motion.

Answer:

D. At x=0, it's acceleration is at a maximum

Explanation:

As the box move forward, it reaches point A and than move backward. Theoretically, the box will move backwards, through its origin, to point -A and then going forward.

Point A is the maximum displacement of the box in this case. At this point, the box instantaneously stop to go backward. Therefore the velocity at that moment is zero.

From point -A, the box travel forward and keep building up speed due to the release in potential energy of the spring. And at point x=0, the velocity become maximum. After point x=0, the velocity of the box slows down due to the conversion of kinetic energy to potential energy of the spring. And as it reaches point A, it reaches zero velocity.

The same can be said as the box travels backward from point A to -A

The earth and the moon exert forces on each other which forces is greater? explain
Helen [10]

Thank you for your question, what you say is true, the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the Moon has to be equal to the centripetal force.

An interesting application of this principle is that it allows you to determine a relation between the period of an orbit and its size. Let us assume for simplicity the Moon's orbit as circular (it is not, but this is a good approximation for our purposes).

The gravitational acceleration that the Moon experience due to the gravitational attraction from the Earth is given by:

ag=G(MEarth+MMoon)/r2

Where G is the gravitational constant, M stands for mass, and r is the radius of the orbit. The centripetal acceleration is given by:

acentr=(4 pi2 r)/T2

Where T is the period. Since the two accelerations have to be equal, we obtain:

(4 pi2 r) /T2=G(MEarth+MMoon)/r2

Which implies:

r3/T2=G(MEarth+MMoon)/4 pi2=const.

This is the so-called third Kepler law, that states that the cube of the radius of the orbit is proportional to the square of the period.

This has interesting applications. In the Solar System, for example, if you know the period and the radius of one planet orbit, by knowing another planet's period you can determine its orbit radius. I hope that this answers your question.

Why is an iron bolt attracted to a magnet?
icang [17]

Answer:

A. When it is in a magnetic field, it becomes a temporary magnet.

Explanation:

An iron bolt is attracted to a magnet because when in a magnetic field, the iron becomes a temporary magnet.

This is because the iron aligns their electrons in the magnetic fields.

  • This causes that attraction between the magnet and the iron.
  • Metals like iron are said to be ferromagnetic
  • Unpaired electrons in iron spin in such a way that they align with the magnetic fields of the magnet.
