Answer: 87500J

Explanation:

Given that,

Power exerted by crane = 3,500 W

Time taken = 25 seconds

work done by crane = ?

Since power is the rate of work done per unit time, then power is workdone by the crane divided by the time taken.

i.e power = work / time

3,500 W = work / 25 seconds

Work = 3500W x 25 seconds

Work = 87500J

Thus, 87500 joules of work was done by the crane.

A car has a mass of 1000 kg and accelerates at 2 m/s2. What net force is exerted on the car?

prisoha [69]

Answer:

1000N

Explanation:

Based on force=mass*acceleration, if the acceleration is constant at 2 metres per second squared, 1,000kg*2m/s^2=2,000N of force.

If the acceleration steadily increases to 2m/s^2 in 20 seconds, take the average which is 1m/s^2 therefore force=1,000N

A horizontal uniform meter stick supported at the 50-cm mark has a mass of 0.50 kg hanging from it at the 20-cm mark and a 0.30

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

70 cm

Explanation:

0.5 kg at 20 cm

0.3 kg at 60 cm

x = Distance of the third 0.6 kg mass

Meter stick hanging at 50 cm

Torque about the support point is given by (torque is conserved)

$0.5(50-20)=0.3(60-50)+0.6x\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{0.5(50-20)-0.3(60-50)}{0.6}\\\Rightarrow x=20\ cm$

The position of the third mass of 0.6 kg is at 20+50 = 70 cm

A 1200-kilogram automobile in motion strikes a 0.0001-kilogram insect. As a result, the insect is accelerated at a rate of 100 m

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

force = 1 × $10^{-2}$ N

Explanation:

given data

automobile mass = 1200 kg

insect mass = 0.0001 kg

insect accelerated = 100 m/s²

to find out

magnitude of the force the insect exerts on the car

solution

we get here force the insect exerts that is express as

force = mass × acceleration ............1

put here value we get

force = 0.0001 × 100 m/s²

force = 1 × $10^{-2}$ N
