Answer:

3.75 × 10⁻⁸ N

Explanation:

Given:

Intensity of the electromagnetic wave, I = 150 W/m²

Sides of the board = 25 cm (= 0.25 m) and 30 cm (= 0.30 m)

therefore,

the area of the rectangular box, A = 0.25 × 0.30 = 0.075 m²

Now,

force exerted on the card by the radiation, F = \frac{IA}{C}

here,

C is the speed of the light = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

on substituting the respective values, we get

F = \frac{150\times0.075}{3\times10^8}

or

F = 3.75 × 10⁻⁸ N

What is the power generated by a 45 kg person who walks up a flight of 12 stairs, each 30 cm high, in 12 s?
Free_Kalibri [48]
The total distance covered by the person is 12 times the height of each stair:
\Delta h=12 \cdot 30 cm=360 cm=3.60 m

The work done by the person to climb the stairs is equal to the increase in his gravitational potential energy:
W= \Delta U=mg \Delta h=(45 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(3.60 m)=1589.2 J

And therefore, the power generated by the person in 12 s is the work done divided by the time taken:
P= \frac{W}{t}= \frac{1589.2 J}{12 s}=132.3 W

So, the correct answer is B.

Speed is velocity in a given direction<br> O True<br> O False
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

Velocity = speed with direction.

Think of speed and direction like rockets and missiles. Rockets are not smart. Missiles are smart. Rockets go in one direction. Missiles can track their targets, they have a specific destination, a specific direction.

Velocity is often used in physics, because its almost useless to know how fast an object is going if you don't know which direction it is going.

Think of it like this. If the Weather man told you a hurricane was traveling at 30 miles an hour, but didn't tell you which direction it was going, you would have no idea where to run, or if it was going to hit you at all. However, if he told you it was going 30 miles an hour to the North, and you were West of it, you would be fine, and wouldn't have to worry.
