Answer:

43,555 W

Explanation:

Since the speed is constant, this means that the force applied to lift the equipment is equal to the weight of the equipment. So we can write:

$F=mg$

where

m = 1000 kg is the mass

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity

So,

$F=(1000)(9.8)=9800 N$

Then the work done in lifting the equipment is:

$W=Fd$

where

d = 200 m is the displacement of the equpment

Substituting,

$W=(9800)(200)=1.96\cdot 10^6 J$

Finally, the power used to lift the equipment is the ratio between the work done and time taken:

$P=\frac{W}{t}$

where

$W=1.96\cdot 10^6 J$

t = 45 s is the time taken

Solving,

$P=\frac{1.96\cdot 10^6}{45}=43,555 W$

Monochromatic light of wavelength 385 nm is incident on a narrow slit. On a screen 3.00 m away, the distance between the second

LiRa [457]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the concept of overlap and constructive interference.

For this purpose we have that the constructive interference in waves can be expressed under the function

$a sin\theta = m\lambda$

Where

a = Width of the slit

d = Distance of slit to screen

m = Number of order which represent the number of repetition of the spectrum

$\theta =$ Angle between incident rays and scatter planes

At the same time the distance on the screen from the central point, would be

$sin\theta = \frac{y}{d}$

Where y = Represents the distance on the screen from the central point

PART A ) From the previous equation if we arrange to find the angle we have that

$\theta = sin^{-1}(\frac{y}{d})$

$\theta = sin^{-1}(\frac{1.4*10^{-2}}{3})$

$\theta = 0.2673\°$

PART B) Equation both equations we have

$a sin\theta = m\lambda$

$a \frac{y}{d} = m\lambda$

Re-arrange to find a,

$a = \frac{(2)(385*10^{-9})(3)}{(1.4*10^{-2})}$

$a = 1.65*10^{-4}m$

A friend tells you that a lunar eclipse will take place the following week, and invites you to join him to observe the eclipse t

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

y = 80.2 mille

Explanation:

The minimum size of an object that can be seen is determined by the diffraction phenomenon, if we use the Rayleigh criterion that establishes that two objects can be distinguished without the maximum diffraction of a body coincides with the minimum of the other body, therefore so much for the pupil of the eye that it is a circular opening

θ = 1.22 λ/ d

in a normal eye the diameter of the pupils of d = 2 mm = 0.002 m, suppose the wavelength of maximum sensitivity of the eye λ = 550 nm = 550 10⁻⁹ m

θ = 1.22 550 10⁻⁹ / 0.002

θ = 3.355 10⁻⁴ rad

Let's use trigonometry to find the distance supported by this angle, the distance from the moon to the Earth is L = 238900 mille = 2.38900 10⁵ mi

tan θ = y / L

y = L tan θ

y = 2,389 10⁵ tan 3,355 10⁻⁴

y = 8.02 10¹ mi

y = 80.2 mille

This is the smallest size of an object seen directly by the eye

A 35 kg box rests on the back of a truck. The coefficient of static friction bet?005 (part 1 of 2)A 35 kg box rests on the back

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of box=35 kg

Coefficient of static friction between box and truck bed=0.202

Acceleration due to gravity= $9.8 m/s^2$

a.We have to find the force by which the box accelerates forward.

Force by which box accelerates= $\mu mg=0.202\times 9.8\times 35$

Force by which box accelerates= $62.286 N$

b.We have to find the maximum acceleration can the truck have before the box slides.

Force =friction force

$ma=\mu mg$

$a=\mu g=9.8\times 0.202=1.9796 m/s^2$

Hence, the truck can have maximum acceleration before the box slide= $1.9796 m/s^2$

To solve this problem we will begin by finding the pressure through density and average depth. Later we will find the Force, by means of the relation of the pressure and the area.
