Answer:

20.85 years

Explanation:

2.61 km = 2610 m

2.07 kW = 2070 W

First we need to calculate the potential energy required to take m = 5.32 * 10^7 kg of rain cloud to an altitude of 2610 m is

E = mgh = 5.32 * 10^7 * 9.81 * 2610 = 1.4*10^{12}J

With a P = 2070 W power pump, this can be done within a time frame of

t = E/P = \frac{1.4*10^{12}}{2070} = 658037739 s

or 658037739/(60*60) = 182788 hours or 182788 / 24 = 7616 days or 7616 / 365.25 = 20.85 years

A force of 20 N produces an acceleration of 10 m/s² in mass m1 and an acceleration of 5 m/s² in
Scrat [10]

Explanation:

F = 20N m= m1 a=10m/s²

m=m2 a=5m/s²

F = ma

<u>for the first one</u><u>:</u><u> </u>

f=m1 × a

20 = m1 ×10

20=10m1

m1=20/10

m1=2

<u>for</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>second</u><u> </u><u>one</u><u> </u><u>:</u>

f=m2×a

20=m2×5

m2= 20/5

m2= 4

since F=ma

F=(m1+m2) ×a

F =(4+2)×a

F =6×a

F=20(from the question above )

20=6×a

a=20/6

a=3.33

Choose the situation below in which the force applied is the greatest.
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

We know the formula for Work to be:

W = f * d

Where W is work done

f is force

d is the distance

A)

Work = 50

Distance = 50

So, Force is:

Force = 50/50 = 1

B)

Work = 400

Distance = 80

Force = 400/80 = 5

C)

Work = 365

Distance = 73

Force = 365/73 = 5

D)

Work = 144

Distance = 16

Force = 144/16 = 9

Hence, D is the situation in which the force applied is the greatest.
