Answer:

15W is the power used by the lion to take cub up a tree.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the given question it is said that the total work done by the lion is 150 joules and the required time is 10 seconds. According to mathematical formula of power, Power $=\frac{\text {work done}}{\text {time}}$ substitute the given terms in the formula = $\frac{150}{10}$ =15 = 15W (Watt is the SI unit of power. Watt is said as one joule per second). The power used by a lion to safe her cub is 15W.

4. A cinder block is sitting on a platform 20 m high. It has a mass of 4 kg. The block has energy. Calculate it.

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the block is at rest in an elevated position, we can assume that it only has potential energy.

U=mgh is the formula for potential energy where U=potential energy, m= mass, g=acceleration due to gravity, and h=height.

Plug in known variables....

U=4kg*9.8m/s^2*20m

U=784 joules of potential energy or letter A.

The fulcrum of a first-class lever divides its 9.0 m arm into two sections—a 6.0 m arm and a 3.0 m arm. You place a rock weighin

nexus9112 [7]

For balancing the lever, force on both the sides shall be equal. so,
Force on 3 m end = m × a = 3 × 98.1 = 294.3

Now, on 6 m end, it would be: = 294.3/6 = 49.05
After rounding-off to the nearest hundredth value, it would be: 49 N

Finally, Option A would be your correct answer.

Hope this helps!

In a jump spike, a volleyball player slams the ball from overhead and toward the opposite floor. Controlling the angle of the sp

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The ball would have landed 3.31m farther if the downward angle were 6.0° instead.

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must first start by doing a drawing that will represent the situation. (See picture attached).

We can see in the picture that the least the angle the farther the ball will go. So we need to find the A and B position to determine how farther the second shot would go. Let's start with point A.

So, first we need to determine the components of the velocity of the ball, like this:

$V_{Ax}=V_{A}cos\theta$

$V_{Ax}=(21m/s)cos(-14^{o})$

$V_{Ax}=20.38 m/s$

$V_{Ay}=V_{A}sin\theta$

$V_{Ay}=(21m/s)sin(-14^{o})$

$V_{Ay}=-5.08 m/s$

we pick the positive one, so it takes 0.317s for the ball to hit on point A.

so now we can find the distance from the net to point A with this time. We can find it like this:

$x_{A}=V_{Ax}t$

$x_{A}=(20.38m/s)(0.317s)$

$x_{A}=6.46m$

Once we found the distance between the net and point A, we can similarly find the distance between the net and point B:

$V_{Bx}=20.88 m/s$

$V_{By}=-2.195 m/s$

$y_{Bf}=y_{B0}+V_{0}t-\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$

$0=2.1m+(-2.195m/s)t-\frac{1}{2}(-9.8m/s^{2})t^{2}$

$-4.9t^{2}-2.195t+2.1=0$

$t=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

$t=\frac{-(-2.195)\pm\sqrt{(-2.195)^{2}-4(-4.9)(2.1)}}{2(-4.9)}$

t= -0.9159s or t=0.468s

we pick the positive one, so it takes 0.468s for the ball to hit on point B.

so now we can find the distance from the net to point B with this time. We can find it like this:

$x_{B}=V_{Bx}t$

$x_{B}=(20.88m/s)(0.468s)$

$x_{B}=9.77m$

So once we got the two distances we can now find the difference between them:

$x_{B}-x_{A}=9.77m-6.46m=3.31m$

so the ball would have landed 3.31m farther if the downward angle were 6.0° instead.

Which graph below represents how the velocity of the sphere changes over time when falling with constant acceleration?

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Graph B represents the velocity of the sphere changes over time when falling with constant acceleration.

Acceleration is the measure of how quickly a body's velocity varies with regard to time, and constant acceleration occurs when a body's velocity changes proportionately over a period of time, or at a constant rate. It measures in m/s2.

It is claimed that a body has continual positive acceleration when it begins to move with an initial velocity of zero and gradually increases to a positive value over time.

Constant positive acceleration is demonstrated by a ball falling freely in a vertical direction.
