Let Pa, Pb, Pc, and Pd be the powers delivered by weightlifters A, B, C, and D, respectively.

Use this equation to determine each power value:

P = W÷Δt

P is the power, W is the work done by the weightlifter, and Δt is the elapsed time.

A) Determining Pa:

Pa = W÷Δt

The weightlifter does work to lift the weight up a certain distance. Therefore the work done is equal to the weight's gain in gravitational potential energy. The equation for gravitational PE is

PE = mgh

PE is the potential energy, m is the mass of the weight, g is the acceleration of objects due to earth's gravity, and h is the distance the weight was lifted.

We can equate W = PE = mgh, therefore we can make the following substitution:

Pa = mgh÷Δt

Given values:

m = 100.0kg

g = 9.81m/s²

h = 2.25m

Δt = 0.151s

Plug in the values and solve for Pa

Pa = 100.0×9.81×2.25÷0.151

<u>Pa = 14600W</u> (watt is the SI derived unit of power)

B) Determining Pb:

Let us use our new equation derived in part A to solve for Pb:

Pb = mgh÷Δt

Given values:

m = 150.0kg

g = 9.81m/s²

h = 1.76m

Δt = 0.052s

Plug in the values and solve for Pb

Pb = 150.0×9.81×1.76÷0.052

<u>Pb = 49800W</u>

C) Determining Pc:

Pc = mgh÷Δt

Given values:

m = 200.0kg

g = 9.81m/s²

h = 1.50m

Δt = 0.217s

Plug in the values and solve for Pc

Pc = 200.0×9.81×1.50÷0.217

<u>Pc = 13600W</u>

D) Determining Pd:

Pd = mgh÷Δt

Given values:

m = 250.0kg

g = 9.81m/s²

h = 1.25m

Δt = 0.206s

Plug in the values and solve for Pd

Pd = 250.0×9.81×1.25÷0.206

<u>Pd = 14900W</u>

Compare the following power values:

Pa = 14600W, Pb = 49800W, Pc = 13600W, Pd = 14900W

Pc is the lowest value.

Therefore, weightlifter C delivers the least power.

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

a) We know that;

v = λf

Where;

λ = wavelength of the wave

f = frequency of the wave

v = velocity of the wave

So;

T = 2 * 2.10 s = 4.2 s

Hence f = 1/4.2 s

f = 0.24 Hz

The wavelength =  6.5 m

Hence;

v = 6.5 m * 0.24 Hz

v = 1.56 m/s

b)The amplitude of the wave is;

A =  0.600 m/2 = 0.300 m

c) Since the wave speed does not depend on the amplitude of the wave then the answer in (a) above remains the same

Where d = 0.30 m

A = 0.30 m/2 = 0.15 m

Answer:

<h3>JAWAB SECEPATNYA pliss</h3><h3 /><h3>Anda memiliki rangkaian paralel 10 volt, dengan 2 resistor di atasnya. Berapakah tegangan pada</h3><h3>resistor pertama? Di seberang kedua?</h3><h3 /><h3>(saya akan menandai tercerdas tolong bantu)</h3>

Explanation:

Hukum Ohm

= tegangan

= kuat arus

= ketahanan

Kalau kamu mau mencari tegangan listrik, kamu gunakan rumus V = I.R. Kalau ternyata kamu perlu mencari kuat arus listrik, maka gunakan rumus I = V/R. Nah, kalau yang kamu cari adalah hambatan listrik, maka gunakan rumus R = V/I.

When will you say a body is in a) uniform acceleration (b) non uniform acceleration
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

See below ~

Explanation:

Part (a) :

We can say a body is in uniform acceleration if the acceleration of the object remains constant with respect to time throughout its motion.

Part (b) :

We can say a body is non-uniform acceleration if the acceleration of the body varies with respect to time throughout its motion.
