Hello!

Work is equal to negative change in PE and PE=mgh and Power is change in work/change in time

So we have

56.1kg * 9.80m/s^2 * 16m = 8796.5 J of PE at top of run and -8796.5J of work done also

if it takes him 12s then we need to find the time gravity alone would bring him to the bottom. we get

16m=1/2at^2 and solving for t we get
t=sqrt(32/9.80m/s^2)=1.81s

so the difference in time is 12-1.8=11.2s

now we can find avg power=work/time = 8796.5J/11.2s = 785W or 785J/s

Hope this helps! Any questions please ask! Thank you!

Which of these is a type of telescope?

Arte-miy333 [17]

I've heard of radio telescopes before on tv, I think they emit waves and measure how they are refracted/diffracted.

Thanks,

A soft drink (mostly water) flows in a pipe at a beverage plant with a mass flow rate that would fill 220 0.355 - L cans per min

Harman [31]

Answer:

$1.302\ \text{kg/s}$

Explanation:

$\rho$ = Density of water = $1\ \text{kg/L}$

$dV$ = Change in volume = $220\times 0.355\ \text{L}$

$dt$ = Time elapsed = 1 minute = 60 seconds

Mass flow rate is given by

$\dot{m}=\rho\dfrac{dV}{dt}\\ =1\times \dfrac{220\times 0.355}{60}\\ =1.302\ \text{kg/s}$

The mass flow rate is $1.302\ \text{kg/s}$ .

A car has wheels of radius of 0.380 m and they rotate once every 0.100 s. What is the linear velocity of the wheels? (Units = m/

quester [9]

Answer:

v = 23.87 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The radius of wheels, r = 0.380 m

The wheels rotate once every 0.1 s

We need to find the linear velocity of the wheels. The linear velocity of a wheel is given by :

$v=\dfrac{2\pi r}{t}\\\\=\dfrac{2\pi \times 0.38}{0.1}\\\\=23.87\ m/s$

So, the required linear velocity of the wheel is equal to 23.87 m/s.

A student builds a rocket-propelled cart for a science project. Its acceleration is not quite high enough to win a prize, so he

irina [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

a = F / m

where a is acceleration , F is thrust and m is mass

taking log and differentiating

da / a = dF / F - dm / m

(da / a)x 100 = (dF / F)x100 - (dm / m) x100

percentage increase in a = percentage increase in F - percentage increase in m

= percentage increase in acceleration a = 39 - 13 = 26 %

required increase = 26 %.
