Answer:

Correct answer: Third statement P = 4900 W

Explanation:

Given:

m = 500 kg the mass of the elevator

h = 10 m reached height after t = 10 seconds

P = ? power of the motor

The formula for the calculating power of the motor is:

P = W / t

since work is a measure of change in this case of potential energy then it is:

W = ΔEp = Ep - 0 = Ep

In this case we must take g = 9.81 m/s²

Ep = m g h = 500 · 9.81 · 10 = 49,050 W ≈ 49,000 W

Ep ≈ 49,000 W

P = Ep / t = 49,000 / 10 = 4,900 W

P =4,900 W

Consider a 7 m stretched string that is clamped at both ends. What is the longest wavelength standing wave that it can support (

user100 [1]

A vibrating stretched string has nodes or fixed points at each end. The string will vibrate in its fundamental frequency with just one anti node in the middle - this gives half a wave.

$l=\frac{\lambda }{2}$

Rearranging for the wavelength

$\lambda=2l$

$\lambda =2(7)$

$\lambda = 14m$

Therefore the longest wavelength standing wave that it can support is 14m

How did cyanobacteria affect early Earth’s biosphere? Select all that apply. Cyanobacteria allowed organisms that rely on oxygen

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The correct statements would be

Cyanobacteria allowed organisms that rely on oxygen to evolve.
Cyanobacteria preceded the first photosynthetic organisms.
Cyanobacteria produced excess oxygen.

Cyanobacteria, also termed as blue-green algae are the prokaryotes which are able to perform photosynthesis.

They were the major contributors of oxygen in the atmosphere and thus helped the organisms that rely on oxygen to evolve.

By the process of endosymbiosis, they lead to the origin of plants. The chloroplasts present in green plants is considered as the cyanobacteria living in the plant cell. It helps in photosynthesis and in return plants cell provides shelter to it.

It is believed that the oxygen released from early cyanobacteria reacted with dissolved iron ions to form iron oxide.

A nuclear fission power plant has an actual efficiency of 32%. If 0.18 MW of power are produced by the nuclear fission, how much

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

P₀ = 5.76 x 10⁻² MW

Explanation:

given,

efficiency of the power plant = 32%

Power produced by the nuclear fission = 0.18 MW

the power plant output = ?

using formula of efficiency

$\eta = \dfrac{P_0}{P}$

where P is the power produced in the power plant

P₀ is the power output of the power plant

$\eta = \dfrac{P_0}{P}$

$0.32 = \dfrac{P_0}{0.18}$

P₀ = 0.18 x 0.32

P₀ = 0.0576 MW

P₀ = 5.76 x 10⁻² MW

Power plant output is equal to P₀ = 5.76 x 10⁻² MW
