Answer:

work = 1125 [J]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must remember the definition of power, which is defined as the relationship between work and time. The power can be calculated using the following equation:

Power = work/time

Power = 12.5 [w]

work = joules [J]

time = 1.5 [min] = 90 [s]

work = 12.5*90

work = 1125 [J]

Convert 3402kgm/s to 20000Newtons

oee [108]

The 3,402 has units of kg-m/s. That's momentum. The 20,000 has units of Newtons. That's force. Momentum and force are different physical things, and you can't convert them from one to the other.

The best I can do for you is something like this:

Let's say you have a moving object with 3,402 kg-m/s of momentum, and you want to STOP it completely. You want to stand in front of it and push back on it, hard enough and for long enough to CHANGE its momentum from 3,402 kg-m/s to zero.

Also ... there's a limit to how hard you can push. The most force you can exert is 20,000 Newtons.

The amount you'll change its momentum is called the impulse you give it. The quantity of impulse is (force) x (length of time you push on it).

So you need to keep pushing it back for (T seconds) long enough so that

(20,000 Newtons of force) x (T seconds) = 3,402 kg-m/s of momentum .

Divide each side of that equation by (20,000 Newtons). Then it says:

(T seconds) = (3,402 kg-m/s) / (20,000 Newtons)

T = 0.1701 second

And that's how you provide just enough impulse to stop the flying object ... push on it with 20,000 Newtons of force for exactly 0.1701 second, and it loses all its momentum and falls out of the air onto the ground at your feet.

This story is the closest I can come to anything that looks like "convert"ing momentum into force.

A car changes chemical energy from fuel into thermal energy and ________ energy.

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Mechanical energy

Explanation:

A car changes chemical energy from fuel into thermal energy and mechanical energy.

Mechanical energy can be defined as the type of energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or position. Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy, that is, the sum of energy in motion and stored energy. Examples of mechanical energy includes driving a car, riding a bicycle, listening to music etc.

Types of mechanical energy

1. Motion energy (kinetic energy)

2. Stored energy(potential energy)

Mechanical energy = Kinetic energy + Potential energy

a bal is launched upward with a velocity of v0 from the edge of a cliff of height D. it reaches a maximum height of H above its

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

D/H =15

Explanation:

We can find first the peak height H, taking into consideration, that at the maximum height, the ball will reach momentarily to a stop.
At this point, we can find the value of H, applying the following kinematic equation:

$v_{f} ^{2} -v_{0} ^{2} = 2* g* H (1)$

If vf=0, if we assume that the positive direction is upwards, we can find the value of H as follows:

$H = \frac{v_{0} ^{2} }{2*g} (2)$

We can use the same equation, to find the value of D, as follows:

$v_{f} ^{2} -v_{1} ^{2} = 2* g* D (3)$

In order to find v₁, we can use the same kinematic equation that we used to get H, but now, we know that v₀ = 0.
When we replace these values in (1), we find that v₁ = -v₀.
Replacing in (3), we have:

$(4*v_{0})^{2} - (-v_{0}) ^{2} = 2* g* D\\ \\ 15*v_{0}^{2} = 2*g*D$
