Answer:
0.031 W
Explanation:
The power used is equal to the rate of work done:
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
And therefore, the power used is
Answer: d = 33 cm or 0.33 m
Explanation: In physics, Work is the amount of energy transferred to an object to make it move. It can be expressed by:
W = F.d.cosθ
F is the force applied to the object, d is the displacement and θ is the angle formed between the force and the displacement.
For the ice block, the angle is 0, i.e., force and distance are at the same direction, so:
W = F.d.cos(0)
W = F.d
To determine d:
d =
d =
d = 0.33 m
The distance d the block ice moved is 33 cm.
