Answer: 800 J

Explanation:

Power is the rate between the energy transferred (E) and the time taken (t):

$P=\frac{E}{t}$

In this problem, the hair straightener has a power of P = 800 W. therefore, the energy transferred in t = 1 second is

$E=Pt=(800 W)(1 s)=800 J$

Power is a measure of the rate of energy or work done on a system. It has units of energy per time. In SI, Joules per second and is equal to the units of Watts. So, for an 800 Watts hair straightener, the energy transfer per second would be 800 Joules.

A bowling ball is launched from the top of a building at an angle of 35° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 15 m/s. T

Mamont248 [21]

Let $y_0$ be the height of the building and thus the initial height of the ball. The ball's altitude at time $t$ is given by

$y=y_0+\left(15\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin35^\circ\,t-\dfrac g2t^2$

where $g=9.80\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$ is the acceleration due to gravity.

The ball reaches the ground when $y=0$ after $t=2.9\,\mathrm s$ . Solve for $y_0$ :

$0=y_0+\left(15\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin35^\circ(2.9\,\mathrm s)-\dfrac12\left(9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(2.9\,\mathrm s)^2$

$\implies y_0\approx16.258\,\mathrm m$

so the building is about 16 m tall (keeping track of significant digits).

A cart travels down a ramp at an average speed of 5.00 centimeters/second. What is the speed of the cart in miles/hour? (Remembe

viva [34]

Set up the problem with the conversion rates as fractions where when you multiply the units cancel out leaving the desired units behind.

$( \frac{ 5 cm}{1 sec} ) *( \frac{1m }{100cm})*( \frac{1km}{1000m} )*( \frac{1mi}{1.6km} ) = 0.00003125 mi/sec \\ \\ ( \frac{0.00003125 mi}{1sec} )*( \frac{60sec}{1min} )*( \frac{60min}{1hr} )=0.1125 mi/hr$
