A fishing boat drags a net for 25 seconds, doing 3500 Joules of work. How much power was the boat using?

Physics

Blizzard [7]3 years ago

The equation for power is P=w/t, where w=work done in joules and t=time in seconds. 

in this case:

p=w/t
p=3500/25 
p=140

so, the boat was using 140 watts of power.

Why are hypothesis valuable even if it is not supported by data.
KengaRu [80]
A hypothesis proposes a mechanism of change that can be tested. If the results indicate the hypothesized mechanism is not the one in operation it narrows the field and we know more. A falsified hypothesis tested by a well designed experiment still provides real evidence about the world. 

<span>It was once thought that maggots spontaneously arose from carrion. This was tested and falsified providing evidence this was not how new generations of flies appeared. This still left the question of how flies generated new life to be explored. One falsified hypothesis does not block further research into the question.

</span><span>Even a failed hypothesis can increase scientific knowledge if done correctly. By knowing this hypothesis is not how something works, you save time for future scientists and can now use your effort in other investigations. That is the real value of hypothesis that are not supported by evidence.</span>

musickatia [10]
Answer: <span>Protons do not move out of the nucleus of atoms although they repel each other.

Reasoning:

Remember that protons are particles with positive charge and they held together in the nucleus of the atom which is a tiny tiny region. As you know, like charges repel each other, which means that the protons exert a repulsion force.

That repulsion force tends to destabilize the atom. The only reason why the atom does not explode is because there is a there exists a force of attraction that exceeds the repulsion of the like charged protons. That is the strong nuclear force. Therefore, the strong nuclear forces are stronger than the electromagnetic force that tends to get the protons apart.

Alina [70]

The distance between city a and city b is 833.345 miles.

We know that

1°=60'

The distance of city a from the initial ray is  calculated as

x_a=3960*tan45.46°=4024.101 miles

The distance of city b from the initial ray is calculated as

x_b=3960*tan 38.86°=3190.75 miles

Now the distance between city a and b is equal to

4024.101-3190.75=833.345 miles

This is the vertical distance between the cities.

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

s = 38.7 m

Explanation:

First we calculate the distance covered during uniform motion of reaction time.

s₁ = vt

where,

s₁ = distance covered during uniform motion = ?

v = uniform speed = 11 m/s

t = time = 2.3 s

Therefore,

s₁ = (11 m/s)(2.3 s)

s₁ = 25.3 m

Now, we calculate the distance covered during decelerated motion:

2as₂ = Vf² - Vi²

where,

a = deceleration = -4.5 m/s²

s₂ = distance covered during decelerated motion = ?

Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s

Vi = Initial Velocity = 11 m/s

Therefore,

2(-4.5 m/s²)s₂ = (0 m/s)² - (11 m/s)²

s₂ = (-121 m²/s²)/(-9 m/s²)

s₂ = 13.4 m

the total distance will be:

s = s₁ + s₂

s = 25.3 m + 13.4 m

<u>s = 38.7 m</u>
