Her weight = (mass) · (gravity) = (50kg) · (9.8 m/s²)

Work = (weight) · (height) = (50kg) · (9.8 m/s²) · (6 m)

Power = (work) / (time) = (50kg) · (9.8 m/s²) · (6 m) / (15 s)

Power = (50 · 9.8 · 6 / 15) · (kg · m² / s³)

Power = 196 (kg · m / s²) · (m) / s

Power = 196 Newton-meter/second

Power = 196 watts

When a substance changes states, it either or energy

liubo4ka [24]

Explanation:

Energy is always involved in changes of state. Matter either loses or absorbs energy when it changes from one state to another. For example, when matter changes from a liquid to a solid, it loses energy. The opposite happens when matter changes from a solid to a liquid.

A box sits on the back of a flatbed truck. If the coefficient of static friction between the box and the truck bed is μs = 0.400

slava [35]

Answer:

28,699m

Explanation:

The force to make the box move should be μs.N=μs.m.g=m.|a|

then,

|a|=μs.g

Being

μs coefficient of static friction,

N the force made by the truck on the box caused by the gravity force,

m the mass,

g the acceleration of gravity

and a the acceleration of the truck.

$x = v \times t + \frac{1}{2} \times a \times {t}^{2}$

as the truck is stopping, the acceleration is negative. then,

$x = v \times t - \frac{1}{2} \times |a| \times {t}^{2}$

$|a| = v \div t \\ t = v \div |a|$

$x = v \times (v \div |a| ) - \frac{1}{2} \times |a| \times {(v \div |a|)}^{2}$

$x = v \times (v \div μs.g ) - \frac{1}{2} \times |a| \times {(v \div μs.g)}^{2}$

$x = \frac{{v}^{2}}{μs \times g} - \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{{v}^{2}}{μs \times g} \\ x = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{{v}^{2}}{μs \times g} \\ x = 0.5 \times \frac{{(15m/s) }^{2} }{0.4 \times 9.8m/ {s}^{2} } = 28.699m$

Light from the sun reaches the earth in 8.3 minutes. the speed of light is 3.0  108 m/s. in kilometers, how far is the earth fr

Flura [38]

To determine the distance of the light that has traveled given the time it takes to travel that distance, we need a relation that would relate time with distance. In any case, it would be the speed of the motion or specifically the speed of light that is travelling which is given as 3x10^8 meters per second. So, we simply multiply the time to the speed. Before doing so, we need to remember that the units should be homogeneous. We do as follows:

distance = 3x10^8 m/s ( 8.3 min ) ( 60 s / 1 min ) = 1.494x10^11 m

Since we are asked for the distance to be in kilometers, we convert

distance = 1.494x10^11 m ( 1 km / 1000 m) = 149400000 km

12) A neutral atom has two, eight, eight electrons in its first, second, and third energy levels.This information ________.

pentagon [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

Option C

The information given in the question tells us about the number of electrons in an atom and also the number of shells in the atom. So, we will come to know about the atomic number, size and chemical properties of the atom. But we cannot determine atomic mass. Atomic mass is a function of number of neutrons and protons.
