Power can be calculate through the equation,
                        Power = Force x velocity

It should be noted that velocity is calculated by dividing displacement by time. Thus, from the given in this item we can calculate for the power. 
                       Power = (120 lb) x (12 ft/9 s)
                         <em> </em><span><em>Power   = 160 lb.ft/s</em></span>

Two forces (4N and 3N) pull your the left, while a 12N force pulls to the right. What is the net force
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

The answer is 11N to the right

Explanation:

Because 4N-3N= 1N

Therefore, 12N-1N=11N

The netforce is 11N to the right, because the greatest force is 12N to the right so it is more likely that the object is being pulled to the right.

When you boil potatoes, will your cooking time be reduced with vigorously boiling water instead of gently boiling water? (Direct
lara [203]

Answer:

The cooling time will not be reduced.

Explanation:

The time to cook is virtually the same in both types, vigorously and gently boiling water.

The reason cooking of spaghetti  calls for vigorously boiling water is to keep the pasta agitated so that they do not stick to one another.

The temperature of boiling water is the same for both vigorously boiling water and gently boiling water, therefore there will be little time difference in when the potatoes will cook when it is done with vigorously boiling water than when it is cooked with gently boiling water.

However cooking potatoes in vigorously boiling water may cause the water to dry up on time and the potatoes get burnt.

Force F acts between two charges, q1 and q2, separated by a distance d. If q1 is increased to twice its original value and the d
Step2247 [10]
Okay, haven't done physics in years, let's see if I remember this.

So Coulomb's Law states that F = k \frac{Q_1Q_2}{d^2} so if we double the charge on Q_1 and double the distance to (2d) we plug these into the equation to find

<span>F_{new} = k \frac{2Q_1Q_2}{(2d)^2}=k \frac{2Q_1Q_2}{4d^2} = \frac{2}{4} \cdot k \frac{Q_1Q_2}{d^2} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot F_{old}</span>

So we see the new force is exactly 1/2 of the old force so your answer should be \frac{1}{2}F if I can remember my physics correctly.

Which process is an example of a physical change?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Option A

Carrots are cut into small pieces and mixed into a salad

Explanation:

When physical changes occur, the actual composition remain the same but the molecules are re-arranged. Therefore, when carrots are cut into smaller pieces and mixed into salad, there will be no chemical reaction hence the actual composition will remain the same despite being cut and molecules in it re-arranged. Considering the other options, new substances are formed hence they are deemed as chemical changes. Therefore, option A is correct.
