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!

What frequency is received by the ambulance after reflecting from a wall near the person watching the oncoming ambulance (as in

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

f=896Hz

Explanation:

Given data

Vs(speed of the ambulance)={(104 km/h)*(1000m*(1 h/3600)}=28.9m/s

f(frequency of the ambulance siren)=821 Hz

v(speed of sound)=345 m/s

Vo(speed of the observer)=0 m/s

To find

f(The ambulance is approaching the person)

Solution

From Doppler effect

$f^{i}=(\frac{v+v_{o} }{v-v_{s} })f$

As the ambulance approaches the we assign a positive sign for speed "vs" of the ambulance

So

$f^{i}=(\frac{v+0}{v-(+v_{s}) } )f\\f^{i}=(\frac{v}{v-v_{s} } )f$

Substitute the values from given data

$f^{i}=(\frac{345m/s}{345m/s-28.9m/s} )821Hz\\f^{i}=896Hz$

The equation that describes a transverse wave on a string is y = (0.0120 m)sin[(927 rad/s)t - (3.00 rad/m)x] where y is the disp

dem82 [27]

Answer:

Speed, v = 312.34 m/s

Explanation:

The equation that describes a transverse wave on the string is given by :

$y=0.0120\ msin[(927\ rad/s)t-(3\ rad/m)x]$ ..............(1)

Where

y = displacement of a string particle

x = position of the particle on the string

The wave is travelling in the +x direction. We have to find the speed of the wave.

The general equation of traverse wave is given by :

$y=A\ sin(kx-\omega t)$ ................(2)

On comparing equation (1) and (2) we get,

k = 3 rad/m

Since, $k=\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{2\pi}{3}$ ..............(3)

Also, $\omega=927\ rad/s$

Since, $\omega=2\pi \nu$

$\nu=\dfrac{927}{2\pi}$ ...............(4)

Speed of the wave is the product of frequency and wavelength i.e.

$v=\nu\times \lambda$

Using equation (3) and (4), the speed of the wave can be calculated as :

$v=\dfrac{927}{2\pi}\times \dfrac{2\pi}{3}$

v = 312.34 m/s

Hence, the speed of the transverse wave is 312.34 m/s
