Calculate the power in kilowatts required to lift a 500 kg mass 12 meters in one second

Physics

The weight of the load is (mass) x (gravity).

The work done to lift it is (weight) x (distance) = (mass) x (gravity) x (distance)

The power is (work)/(time) =

               (mass) x (gravity) x (distance) / (time)  = 

               (500 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (12 m) / (1 sec) =

                (500 x 9.8 x 12 / 1) (kg-m / sec²) (m) / (sec) =

                 (500 x 9.8 x 12 / 1)    newton  -  meter / sec =

                  (500 x 9.8 x 12 / 1)             joule        /  sec =

                                 58,800    watts

                         =       <em>58.8 kW</em>

                         =      about  78.8 horsepower

A drowsy cat spots a flowerpot that sails first up and then down past an open window. the pot was in view for a total of 0.49 s,
Alika [10]

For this case, let's assume that the pot spends exactly half of its time going up, and half going down, i.e. it is visible upward for 0.245 s and downward for 0.245 s. Let us take the bottom of the window to be zero on a vertical axis pointing upward. All calculations will be made in reference to this coordinate system. <span>

An initial condition has been supplied by the problem: 

s=1.80m when t=0.245s 

<span>This means that it takes the pot 0.245 seconds to travel upward 1.8m. Knowing that the gravitational acceleration acts downward constantly at 9.81m/s^2, and based on this information we can use the formula:

s=(v)(t)+(1/2)(a)(t^2) 

to solve for v, the initial velocity of the pot as it enters the cat's view through the window. Substituting and solving (note that gravitational acceleration is negative since this is opposite our coordinate orientation): 

(1.8m)=(v)(0.245s)+(1/2)(-9.81m/s^2)(0.245s)^2 

v=8.549m/s 

<span>Now we know the initial velocity of the pot right when it enters the view of the window. We know that at the apex of its flight, the pot's velocity will be v=0, and using this piece of information we can use the kinematic equation:

(v final)=(v initial)+(a)(t) 

to solve for the time it will take for the pot to reach the apex of its flight. Because (v final)=0, this equation will look like 

0=(v)+(a)(t) 

Substituting and solving for t: 

0=(8.549m/s)+(-9.81m/s^2)(t) 

t=0.8714s 

<span>Using this information and the kinematic equation we can find the total height of the pot’s flight:

s=(v)(t)+(1/2)(a)(t^2) </span></span></span></span>

s=8.549m/s (0.8714s)-0.5(9.81m/s^2)(0.8714s)^2

s=3.725m<span>

This distance is measured from the bottom of the window, and so we will need to subtract 1.80m from it to find the distance from the top of the window: 

3.725m – 1.8m=1.925m</span>

 

Answer:

<span>1.925m</span>

What is the kinetic energy of a 1130 kg truck that is moving with a velocity of 40 m/s?
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The answer is 904,000.

Kinetic energy=1/2mv^2.

1/2×1130×40^2.

1/2×1808000=904,000Joules.

(1.08×10-3)(9.3×10-4)
ira [324]
First you do the first parenthesis, (1.08 x 10 - 3) and you do it in the order of operations! (parenthesis, exponents, multiplication/division, add/subtract) to get 7.8. Then you take the second parenthesis (9.3 x 10 - 4) and do the same thing to get 89! You then times 7.8 by 89 to get 694.2! If it needs more elaboration just ask ^.^

If a fish is trying to capture an insect hovering above the surface of the water – how will it jump to catch it? Will it aim abo
Viktor [21]

Answer:

It will have aim at a point "below" the insect.

From the insect's point of view, the fish will appear to be shallower than it actually is because a ray of light from the insect to the fish will be bent "towards" the normal when the ray enters the water
