Let us consider body moves a distance S due to the force F.

Hence the work by the body W = FS

If the force is not along the direction of displacement,then the work by a body for travelling a distance S will be -

                                       W=[ Fcos\theta]*S  where    Fcos\theta is the component of the force along the direction of displacement.

                                  Hence\ W= FScos\theta

                                                        = F.S

As per the question the power P is given as -

                                                  P=\frac{W}{\delta t}

                                                         =\frac{F.S}{\delta t}

                                                         = F.\frac{S}{\delta t}

                                                         = \ F.V

Hence alternative definition of power P = F.V

Power formula is P= W/ Delta t, or we know that W= saclar product of D and F, D=length of distance traveled, F= the applied force, it is W = //D// //F// cos(D, F), when we substitute, we get P=[ //D// //F// cos (D, F)]/ deltat, or //D// = V x delta t, P= [V x delta t x //F// cos(D, F)] / delta t, and then P= V//F//cos(D, F), or V and D have the same direction, so cos(D, F)= cos(V, F), finally  P= V. F (or scalar product of V and F)

Answer:

v = 2.45 m/s

Explanation:

first we find the time taken during this motion by considering the vertical motion only and applying second equation of motion:

h = Vi t + (1/2)gt²

where,

h = height of cliff = 15 m

Vi = Initial Vertical Velocity = 0 m/s

t = time taken = ?

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

15 m = (0 m/s) t + (1/2)(9.8 m/s²)t²

t² = (15 m)/(4.9 m/s²)

t = √3.06 s²

t = 1.75 s

Now, we consider the horizontal motion. Since, we neglect air friction effects. Therefore, the horizontal motion has uniform velocity. Therefore,

s = vt

where,

s = horizontal distance covered = 4.3 m

v = original horizontal velocity = ?

Therefore,

4.3 m = v(1.75 s)

v = 4.3 m/1.75 s

<u>v = 2.45 m/s</u>

A person with a mass of 72 kg is riding a bicycle is accelerating at a rate of 5m/s on a horizontal surface. What is the weight
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

w = 706.32 [N]

Explanation:

The force due to gravitational acceleration can be calculated by means of the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

w = m*g

where:

w = weight [N] (units of Newtons)

m = mass = 72 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

Then we have:

w = 72*9.81\\w = 706.32 [N]
