Answer:

2000 J per second or 2kJ per second.

Explanation:

The definition for power (W) is the rate of energy (J) per unit of time (seconds). In this case the power output is 2kW, or 2000W. This means the energy rate of the engine must be 2000 joules per second, or 2kJ per second.

A 5.22×104 kg railroad car moves on frictionless horizontal rails until it hits a horizontal spring stopper with a force constan

In-s [12.5K]

To solve this problem we will apply the principles of conservation of energy, for which we have to preserve the initial kinetic energy as elastic potential energy at the end of the movement. If said equality is maintained then we can affirm that,

$\text{Initial Energy}=\text{Final Energy}$

$\frac{1}{2} mv^2=\frac{1}{2} kx^2$

Here,

m = mass

k = Spring constant

x = Displacement

v = Velocity

Rearranging to find the velocity,

$mv^2 = kx^2$

$v^2 = \frac{kx^2}{m}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{kx^2}{m}}$

Our values are,

$m = 5.22*10^4kg$

$k = 4.58*10^5N/m$

$x = 32cm = 0.32m$

Replacing our values we have,

$v = \sqrt{\frac{(4.58*10^5)(5.22*10^4)}{0.32}}$

$v = 2.733*10^5m/s$

Therefore the velocity is $2.733*10^5m/s$

Explain how you can use the factors of production to produce a fruit juice in a production company

frozen [14]

Answer:

The factors of production include Land, Labour, Capital and Enterpreneurship

Explanation:

The fruit could be apple, orange , pineapple etc which are usually grown on land . They are tended to by people to ensure there is maximum yield. These people provide the required labour needed.

The cost of planting and payment of workers usually comes from the capital which is often used in running the business by the owner which makes certain decisions to ensure the fruit company is in place. All these factors work hand in hand to ensure production of fruit in a production company is possible.

a hawk flies in a horizontal arc of radius 10.3 m at a constant speed of 4.8 m/s. find its centripetal acceleration. answer in u

n200080 [17]

The hawk’s centripetal acceleration is 2.23 m/s²

The magnitude of the acceleration under new conditions is 2.316 m/s²

radius of the horizontal arc = 10.3 m

the initial constant speed = 4.8 m/s

we know that the centripetal acceleration is given by

$a_{c}$ = $\frac{v^{2} }{r}$
