kvasek [131]3 years ago
7 0

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.

A helicopter pulls upward by means of a rope on a 250 kg crate to lift it UNIFORMLY. What is the net force on the crate?
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The net force = 0

Explanation:

The given information includes;

The mass of the crate = 250 kg

The way the helicopter lifts the crate = Uniformly (constant rate (speed), no acceleration)

In order to pull the crate upwards, the helicopter has to provide a force equivalent to the weight of the crate keeping the helicopter on the ground.

The weight of the crate = The mass of the crate × The acceleration due gravity acting on the crate

The weight of the crate, F_w↓ = 250 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 2,452.5 N

The force the helicopter should provide to just lift the crate, F_{(helicopter)}↑ = The weight of the crate = 2,452.5 N

The net force, F_{(net)} = F_{(helicopter)}↑ - F_w↓ = 2,452.5 N - 2,452.5 N = 0

The net force = 0.

A 2.0-kg projectile is fired with initial velocity components v0x = 30 m/s and v0y = 40 m/s from a point on the Earth's surface.
EleoNora [17]

(a) The kinetic energy of the projectile when it reaches the highest point in its trajectory is 900 J.

(b) The work done  in firing the projectile is 2,500 J.

<h3>Kinetic energy of the projectile at maximum height</h3>

The kinetic energy of the projectile when it reaches the highest point in its trajectory is calculated as follows;

K.E = ¹/₂mv₀ₓ²

where;

  • m is mass of the projectile
  • v₀ₓ is the initial horizontal component of the velocity at maximum height

<u>Note:</u> At maximum height the final vertical velocity is zero and the final horizontal velocity is equal to the initial horizontal velocity.

K.E = (0.5)(2)(30²)

K.E = 900 J

<h3>Work done in firing the projectile</h3>

Based on the principle of conservation of energy, the work done in firing the projectile is equal to the initial kinetic energy of the projectile.

W = K.E(i) = ¹/₂mv²

where;

  • v is the resultant velocity

v = √(30² + 40²)

v = 50 m/s

W = (0.5)(2)(50²)

W = 2,500 J

Thus, the kinetic energy of the projectile when it reaches the highest point in its trajectory is 900 J.

The work done  in firing the projectile is 2,500 J.

A plane stops from 250 mph in 25 seconds. Calculate the plane's acceleration.
Lelechka [254]

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 250 mph

v = 0 mph

t = 25 s

Find: a

v = at + v₀

(0 mph) = a (25 s) + (250 mph)

a = -10 mph/s
