A 50.0 kg woman climbs a flight of stairs 6.00 m high in 15.0 s. How much power does she use.

Physics
1 answer:
WITCHER [35]3 years ago

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

<em>Power = 196 watts</em>

Two forces with magnitudes of 6 pounds and 18 pounds are applied to an object. The magnitude of the resultant is 13 pounds. Find
Nikolay [14]

Answer: the angle between the resultant vector and the vector of the 18 pound is 28°

Explanation:

given that data in the question; as its interpreted in the diagram below;

from the cosine rule, we know that;

a² = b² + c² - 2bc  

so

(13)² = (6)² + (18)² - (2 × 6 × 18 ) cos∅

169 = 36 + 324 - 216cos∅

169 = 360 - 216cos∅

216cos∅ = 360 - 169

216cos∅ = 191

cos∅ = 0.8842

∅ = cos⁻¹ ( 0.8842 )

∅ = 27.8° ≈ 28°  {nearest whole number}

Therefore the angle between the resultant vector and the vector of the 18 pound is 28°

A cat is sleeping on the floor in the middle of a 2.8-m-wide room when a barking dog enters with a speed of 1.40 m/s. As the dog
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

the cat is  0.4238 m in front of the dog as it leaps through the window

Explanation:

Given that;

acceleration a = 0.85 m/s²

speed v = 1.40 m/s

the cat is at rest, so initial velocity u = 0  

we know that, since the cat is sleeping on the floor in the middle of a 2.8-m-wide room, it needs to cover (2.8 m / 2 ) distance to get to the window;

using the second equation equation of motion;

s = ut + 1/2 at²  

we substitute

2.8/2 = 0×t + 1/2 × 0.85 × t²

1.4 = 0.425t²

t = √( 1.4 / 0.425 )

t = 1.81497 sec

now, at acceleration 0.10 m/s²

the dog has to cover the distance;

s = ut + 1/2 at²  

s = ( 1.4 × 1.81497) - 1/2 × 0.10 × 1.81497²

s =  2.540958 - 0.1647

s = 2.3762 m  

The cant in front of the dog as it leaps through the window;

distance = 2.8 m - 2.3762 m

distance = 0.4238 m

Therefore, the cat is  0.4238 m in front of the dog as it leaps through the window

Red Riding Hood sat down to rest and placed her 1.20-kg basket of goodies beside her. A wolf came along, spotted the basket, and
anygoal [31]

Answer:

  117.6°

Explanation:

The vertical component of a force directed at some angle α from the vertical is ...

  F·cos(α)

We want the vertical components of the wolf's force (Fw) and Red's force (Fr) to total zero. So for some angle from vertical α, Red's force will satisfy ...

  Fw·cos(25°) + Fr·cos(α) = 0

  cos(α) = -Fw/Fr·cos(25°) ≈ -(6.4 N)/(12.5 N)·0.906308 ≈ -0.464030

  α ≈ arccos(-0.464030) ≈ 117.6°

Red was pulling at an angle of about 117.6° from the vertical.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

That's about 27.6° below the horizontal.

Only about 50% of the solar energy directed toward Earth penetrates directly to the surface. Explain what happens to the rest of
Tresset [83]

Answer:

it is absorbed or reflected by the atmosphere

Explanation:

In the case when approx 50% only of the solar energy would be directed towards earth and it would be penetrates directly to the surface so the rest or remaining of the radiation would be either absorbed or refected by the atmosphere

So as per the given situation the above represent the answer

hence, the same is to be considered and relevant
