Which scientific term is defined as the rate at which work is accomplished?

1 answer:

7 0

Power is the scientific term defined as the rate at which work is accomplished. Power can be seen everywhere as it is applied to our everyday living. Power is seen when one pushes a heavy cart. It could be seen when a baseball hitter hits the ball.

An infant's toy has a 120 g wooden animal hanging from a spring. If pulled down gently, the animal oscillates up and down with a

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

0.37 m

Explanation:

The angular frequency, ω, of a loaded spring is related to the period, T, by

$\omega = \dfrac{2\pi}{T}$

The maximum velocity of the oscillation occurs at the equilibrium point and is given by

$v = \omega A$

A is the amplitude or maximum displacement from the equilibrium.

$v = \dfrac{2\pi A}{T}$

From the the question, T = 0.58 and A = 25 cm = 0.25 m. Taking π as 3.142,

$v = \dfrac{2\times3.142\times0.25\text{ m}}{0.58\text{ s}} = 2.71 \text{ m/s}$

To determine the height we reached, we consider the beginning of the vertical motion as the equilibrium point with velocity, v. Since it is against gravity, acceleration of gravity is negative. At maximum height, the final velocity is 0 m/s. We use the equation

$v_f^2 = v_i^2+2ah$

$v_f$ is the final velocity, $v_i$ is the initial velocity (same as v above), a is acceleration of gravity and h is the height.

$h = \dfrac{v_f^2 - v_i^2}{2a}$

$h = \dfrac{0^2 - 2.71^2}{2\times-9.81} = 0.37 \text{ m}$

Using evidence from the article, defend the concept that Earth’s magnetic poles have swapped places over time.

Mamont248 [21]

Answer: Scientists found evidence of Earths magnetic field reversal in rocks on the ocean floor at plate boundaries. These rocks have alternating polarity due to magnetization that occurred during their cooling period. Using radio metric dating, scientist estimate that reversals occur approximately every several hundred thousand years.

Sam heaves a 16-lb shot straight up, giving it a constant upward acceleration from rest of 35.0 m/s2 for 64.0 cm. He releases it

stich3 [128]

Answer:

a. 6.69m/s

b. y=4.48m

c. t=1.43secs

Explanation:

Data given, acceleration,a=35m/s^2

distance covered,d=64cm=0.64m,

a. to determine the speed, we use the equation of motion

initial velocity,u=0m/s

if we substitute values we arrive at

$v^{2}=u^{2}+2as\\v^{2}=0+2*35*0.64\\v^{2}=44.8m/s\\v=\sqrt{44.8}\\ v=6.69m/s\\$

b. After taking the shot,the acceleration value is due to gravity i.e a=9.81m/s^2

and the distance becomes (y-2.2) above the ground. When it reaches the maximum height, the final velocity becomes zero and the initial velocity becomes 6.69m/s.

Hence we can write the equation above again

$v^{2}=u^{2}-2a(y-2.2)\\$
