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

Pa = 14600W (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

Pb = 49800W

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

Pc = 13600W

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

Pd = 14900W

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.

A Hall probe, consisting of a rectangular slab of current-carrying material, is calibrated by placing it in a known magnetic fie

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

(a) 0.345 T

(b) 0.389 T

Solution:

As per the question:

Hall emf, $V_{Hall} = 20\ mV = 0.02\ V$

Magnetic Field, B = 0.10 T

Hall emf, $V'_{Hall} = 69\ mV = 0.069\ V$

Now,

Drift velocity, $v_{d} = \frac{V_{Hall}}{B}$

$v_{d} = \frac{0.02}{0.10} = 0.2\ m/s$

Now, the expression for the electric field is given by:

$E_{Hall} = Bv_{d}sin\theta$ (1)

And

$E_{Hall} = V_{Hall}d$

Thus eqn (1) becomes

$V_{Hall}d = dBv_{d}sin\theta$

where

d = distance

$B = \frac{V_{Hall}}{v_{d}sin\theta}$ (2)

(a) When $\theta = 90^{\circ}$

$B = \frac{0.069}{0.2\times sin90} = 0.345\ T$

(b) When $\theta = 60^{\circ}$

$B = \frac{0.069}{0.2\times sin60} = 0.398\ T$

What are the assumptions on which the cosmological principle is based?.

prisoha [69]

Homogeneity and isotropy, On large enough scales, the Universe looks pretty much the same in all directions. The big bang theory is based on two assumptions: the first is centered around Einstein's general theory of relativity, which accurately describes gravity and the interactions of matter; and the second, also known as the cosmological principle, asserts that the universe is homogeneous and isotropic on a large enough scale.

Find the emitted power per square meter of peak intensity for a 3000 k object that emits thermal radiation.

Aleksandr [31]

According to Stefan-Boltzmann Law, the thermal energy radiated by a radiator per second per unit area is proportional to the fourth power of the absolute temperature. It is given by;
P/A = σ T⁴ j/m²s
Where; P is the power, A is the area in square Meters, T is temperature in kelvin and σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, ( 5.67 × 10^-8 watt/m²K⁴)
Therefore;
Power/square meter = (5.67 × 10^-8) × (3000)⁴
= 4.59 × 10^6 Watts/square meter
