How can you calculate distance when given power, time, and mass?

First step:         Power = (work done) / (time to do the work).

                 3490 watts = (work done) / (3 seconds)

     3490 joules/second = (work done) / (3 seconds)

Multiply each side by 3 seconds:

     Work done = (3490 x 3) joules  =  10,470 joules 


Second step:       Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

                 Weight of the crate = (425 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

                                              =  4165 newtons


Step 3:     Work done  =  (force) x (distance)

                                 =  (weight) x (distance lifted)

            10,470 joules  =  (4165 newtons) x (distance)

Divide each side by 4165 newtons:

       Distance = 10,470 kg-m²/sec² / 4165 kg-m/s²

                     =        2.514... meters  (rounded)

You asked:  "How can you calculate ... ?"
Notice that I did the same thing in all 3 steps ... write down the formula
for finding a quantity, then write the numbers you know into the formula
to find the quantity. 

THAT's "how", and it all boils down to knowing the formulas and picking
the right one to work with.  The right one to pick is the one that talks about
all (or most) of the quantities that you know AND the quantity that you're
trying to find. 

For example, if you need to find how long it will take your turtle to walk
across the room, then you need a formula that talks about time, speed,
and distance.  You would not get much help from the formula that talks
about the pressure and volume of a gas, or one that talks about the
frequency and wavelength of light waves, or Einstein's formula  E=mc² 
for the equivalency of mass and energy.

What is the frequency of a wave that has a period of vibration of 2 seconds?
34kurt

Answer:

The answer is 0.5 Hz

Explanation:

Its pretty easy to get the answer. One hertz (Hz) is equal to one cycle or period per second. So, just divide the period by the number of seconds.

1 period/2 secs = 1/2 Hz or 0.5 Hz

PLEAS HELP.
koban [17]

<span>A: put an atom on a poster in the exhibit
     Good luck.  The poster itself is made of trillions of trillions of trillions
     of atoms.  You could not see the extra one any easier than you could
     see the ones that are already there, and even if you could, it would be
     lost in the crowd.
 
B: use a life size drawing of an atom
     Good luck.  Nobody has ever seen an atom.  Atoms are too small
     to see.  That's a big part of the reason that nobody knew they exist
     until less than 200 years ago.

D: set up a microscope so that visitors can view atoms
     Good luck.  Atoms are way too small to see with a microscope.

</span><span><span>C: Display a large three dimensional model of an atom.
    </span> </span>Finally !  A suggestion that makes sense.
     If something is too big or too small to see, show a model of it
         that's just the right size to see.
