Answer:

0.031 W

Explanation:

The power used is equal to the rate of work done:

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

where

P is the power

W is the work done

t is the time taken to do the work W

In this problem, we have:

W = 900 J is the work done by the motor

t = 8 h is the time taken

We have to convert the time into SI units; keeping in mind that

1 hour = 3600 s

We have

$t=8\cdot 3600 =28,800 s$

And therefore, the power used is

$W=\frac{900}{28800}=0.031 W$

You throw a bouncy rubber ball and a wet lump of clay, both of mass m, at a wall. Both strike the wall at speed v, but while the

Answer:

The fifth option is the correct answer: mv; 2 mv

Explanation:

Change of Momentum

Assume an object has a momentum p1 and after some interaction it now has a momentum p2, the change of momentum is

$\Delta p=p_2-p_1$

The momentum is computed as

$p=mv$

Where m is the mass of the object and v its speed. Now let's analyze the situation of both the ball and the clay.

The clay has an initial speed v and a mass m, thus its initial momentum is

$p_1=mv$

When it hits the wall, it sticks, thus its final speed is 0 and

$p_2=0$

The change of momentum is

$\Delta p=0-mv=-mv$

The absolute change is mv

Now for the ball, the initial condition is the same as it was for the clay, but the ball hits back at the same speed, thus its final momentum is

$p_2=-mv$

The change of momentum is

$\Delta p=-mv-mv=-2mv$

The absolute change is 2mv

The fifth option is the correct answer: mv; 2 mv

Near the equator, the patterns of convection currents are called ________.

tatyana61 [14]

Near the equator, the patterns of convection currents are called Hadley Cells.

Hadley Cells refers to the low-latitude overturning movements that have air increasing at the equator and air dropping at roughly latitude of 30 degree and these cells are also responsible for the trade winds in the Tropics and control low-latitude patterns of weather.
