Given:

s(distance)= 20 meters

F(force)=200N

Now we know that

work done= Force applied x distance

Substituting the given values in the above formula we get

Work done= 20 x 200= 4000J

A woman lifts a 300 newton child a distance of 1.5 meters in 0.75 seconds. What is her power output in lifting the child?

Nitella [24]

Power = Work done / time

Work done = Force * Distance
= 300 N * 1.5 m = 450 J

Power = 450 / 0.75 = 600 Watts.

The sound level of one person talking at a certain distance from you is 61 dB. If she is joined by 5 more friends, and all of th

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

For sound level in decibel scale the relation is

dB = 10 log I / I₀ where I₀ = 10⁻¹² and I is intensity of sound whose decibel scale is to be calculated .

Putting the given values

61 = 10 log I / 10⁻¹²

log I / 10⁻¹² = 6.1

I = 10⁻¹² x 10⁶°¹

$=10^{-5.9}$

intensity of sound of 5 persons

$I=5\times 10^{-5.9}$

$dB=10log\frac{5 X 10^{-5.9}}{10^{-12}}$

= 10log 5 x 10⁶°¹

= 10( 6.1 + log 5 )

= 67.98

sound level will be 67.98 dB .

How long does it take decaying organisms to transform into fossil fuels?

taurus [48]

Answer:

Millions or hundreds of million of years

Explanation:

It takes a very long time for decaying substances to form fossil fuels. It takes around millions or hundreds of million of years for the transformation to occur. This explains why they aren’t renewable.

Decayed plant materials usually form coal while decayed animal materials form crude oil.

A wheel rotating about a fixed axis with a constant angular acceleration of 2.0 rad/s2 starts from rest at t = 0. The wheel has

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The total linear acceleration is approximately 0.246 meters per square second.

Explanation:

The total linear acceleration ( $a$ ) consist in two components, radial ( $a_{r}$ ) and tangential ( $a_{t}$ ), in meters per square second:

$a_{r} = \omega^{2}\cdot r$ (1)

$a_{t} = \alpha \cdot r$ (2)

Since both components are orthogonal to each other, the total linear acceleration is determined by Pythagorean Theorem:

$a = \sqrt{a_{r}^{2}+a_{t}^{2}}$ (3)

Where:

$r$ - Radius of the wheel, in meters.

$\omega$ - Angular speed, in radians per second.

$\alpha$ - Angular acceleration, in radians per square second.

Given that wheel accelerates uniformly, we use the following kinematic equation:

$\omega = \omega_{o}+ \alpha\cdot t$ (4)

Where:

$\omega_{o}$ - Initial angular speed, in radians per second.

$t$ - Time, in seconds.

If we know that $r = 0.1\,m$ , $\alpha = 2\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$ , $\omega_{o} = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}$ and $t = 0.60\,s$ , then the total linear acceleration is:
