A) 3.6\cdot 10^5 J

The power used by an object is defined as

P=\frac{E}{t}

where

E is the energy used

t is the time elapsed

In this problem, we have

P = 100 W is the power of the light bulb

t = 1 h = 3600 s is the time elapsed

Solving for E, we find the amount of energy used by the light bulb:

E=Pt = (100 W)(3600 s)=3.6\cdot 10^5 J

B) 1.1 \cdot 10^2 m/s

The kinetic energy of an object is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass

v is the speed of the object

In this problem, we have a man of mass

m = 65 kg

we want its kinetic energy to be

E=3.6\cdot 10^5 J

Therefore, we can calculate its speed from the previous formula:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(3.6\cdot 10^5 J)}{65 kg}}=105.2 m/s = 1.1 \cdot 10^2 m/s

Why do areas with low altitude have warmer air than areas with high altitude
barxatty [35]

Answer:

Air at higher altitude is under less pressure than air at lower altitude because there is less weight of air above it, so it expands (and cools), while air at lower altitude is under more pressure so it contracts (and heats up).

Why is the weight of the ruler not include in the calculation of moment?​
Feliz [49]

Answer:

Since the distance between the pivot and its weight is zero, the moment of its weight about the pivot (= weight × 0) is zero. Hence, the weight of the ruler can be ignored.

Hope this helps:)

What is the acceleration experiance by a car that takes 10s to reach 27m/s from rest
lina2011 [118]

Magnitude of acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change).

Change in speed  =  (27 - 0)  =  27 m/s
Time for the change = 10 s

Magnitude of acceleration =  (27 m/s) / (10 s)  =  2.7 m/s²  .
