Answer:

3.    560W

Explanation:

First we calculate the work required for the 700N weigh student to climb up by 8 meters. Work is force times distance

W = Fs = 700 * 8 = 5600J

The average power is defined as the rate of energy expended over a unit of time. In order words, work divided by time duration

P = W/t = 5600 / 10 = 560 W

Objects appear different in size and shape in a container of water due to
o-na [289]

Answer:

A. refraction of light waves

Explanation:

Refraction happens when light travels from one medium to another and changes speed and bends. This also causes objects to look different sizes and shapes when they are submerged in water.

Which situation describes a system with decreasing gravitational potential energy?
umka2103 [35]
An example of a system with decreasing gravitational potential energy is a ball in free fall. 

At its initial height h, the ball has a gravitational potential energy equal to
U=mgh
where m is the ball mass and g is the gravitational acceleration. As the ball falls toward the ground, its height h decreases, and so its gravitational potential energy decreases as well, according to the formula 
U=mgh'
where h' is the new height of the ball.

Why do nuclear power plants use fission rather than fusion to generate
kicyunya [14]

B. Fusion requires very high pressure and temperature.

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is the combination of atomic nuclei into larger ones with the release of a large amount of energy.

Nuclear fission is the decay process in which a heavy nuclide is bombarded with with neutrons.

  • Both processes release a huge amount of energy.
  • But fusion produces far more energy.
  • The reason why nuclear fusion is not in use is because of the high pressure and temperature needed start it.
  • The activation energy is high and the energy barrier is very great.
  • Only the core of the sun naturally favors fusion

Air pollution is an example of a. The underground economy. B. An external shock. C. A nonmarket activity. D. A negative external
devlian [24]

Answer:

D. A negative externality.

Explanation:

Particulate pollution is a form of pollution that is responsible for the degradation of the environment.

Particulate matter is also referred to as particle pollution or atmospheric aerosol particles and it can be defined as a complex microscopic mixture of liquid droplets and solid particles that are suspended in air.

An externality is typically an unwarranted cost or benefit by a manufacturer or producer of goods and services that affects a third party.

In Economics, an externality could either be positive or negative depending on its effect on a third party.

A negative externality arises when the production or consumption of a finished product or service has negative impact (cost) on a third party.

In conclusion, air pollution is an example of a negative externality because it causes harm to a third party.
