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

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

Degger [83]

There is still air inside of a house, which is pushing the roof upwards, so the forces are equal and the roof is not crushed.

Answer

Around 400 B.C.E, the Greek philosopher Democritus introduced the idea of the atom as the basic building block matter. Democritus though that atoms are tiny, uncuttable, solid particles that are surrounded by empty space and constantly moving at random.

A child swings on a playground swing. How many times does the child swing through the swing's equilibrium position during the co

Karolina [17]

<h2>The child swing through the swing's equilibrium position 6 times during the course of 3 periods.</h2>

Explanation:

One period means time taken to complete one revolution.

In case of swings in one period time it travels the same position through two times.

Here we need to find how many times does the child swing through the swing's equilibrium position during the course of 3 period(s) of motion.

For 1 period = 2 times
