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!

Based on the second law of thermodynamics, how would you expect a system to change over time?

deff fn [24]

B. It's randomness would increase

Because the Second Law of Thermodynamics states that as energy is transferred or transformed, more and more of it is wasted. It also states that there is a natural tendency of any isolated system to degenerate into a more disordered state.

Diffraction patterns are due to: interference refraction dispersion scattering

uranmaximum [27]

Diffraction patterns are due to interference. Diffraction is a phenomena which occurs when a wave encounters an obstacle. It is the bending of light around the corners if the obstacle.

Say I have a series circuit with 20v and four 65 ohm resistors, what is the current in each resistor?

Komok [63]

Data:

$E = 20 V$
$R_{1} = 65\Omega$
$R_{2} = 65\Omega$
$R_{3} = 65\Omega$
$R_{4} = 65\Omega$

Now that we have all the values we need properly identified, simply calculate the equivalent total resistance of the circuit and the intensity of the total electric current using the Ohm's Law:

 $R_{T} = R_{1} + R_{2} + R_{3} + R_{4}$
$R_{T} = 65 + 65 + 65+ 65$
$R_{T} = 260\Omega$

Like this:

$I_{T} = \frac{E}{ R_{T} }$

$I_{T} = \frac{20}{ 260 }$
$I_{T} = 0,076923076...$

$\boxed{\boxed{I_{T} \approx 0,07A}}$
Answer:
The intensity of the total electric current
 $\boxed{\boxed{I_{T} \approx 0,07A}}$

P.S:. Since the association is in series, the current of 0.07A is the same for all resistors.
