The power expended is 500 W

Explanation:

First of all, we start by calculating the work done by the man in order to ascend: this is equal to the gravitational potential energy gained by the man, which is

W=mg\Delta h

where

m = 50 kg is the mass of the man

g=10 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

\Delta h = 5 m is the change in height

Substituting,

W=(50)(10)(5)=2500 J

Now we can calculate the power expended, which is given by

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

W = 2500 J is the work done

t = 5 s is the time elapsed

Substituting, we find

P=\frac{2500}{5}=500 W

Calculate the acceleration of a 1000 kg car if the motor provides a small thrust of 1000 N and the static and dynamic friction c
grin007 [14]

Explanation :

It is given that,

Mass of the car, m = 1000 kg              

Force applied by the motor, F_A=1000\ N

The static and dynamic friction coefficient is, \mu=0.5

Let a is the acceleration of the car. Since, the car is in motion, the coefficient of sliding friction can be used. At equilibrium,

F_A-\mu mg=ma

\dfrac{F_A-\mu mg}{m}=a

a=\dfrac{1000-0.5(1000)(9.81)}{1000}

a=-3.905\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the car is -3.905\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

You drive your car in a straight line at 15 m/s for 10 kilometers, then at 25 m/s for another 10 kilometers.
Vikki [24]

Answer:

A) Average speed = 18.75 m/s

B) More time is spent at 15 m/s than at 25 m/s.

Explanation:

Let the first distance be d1 and the second distance be d2.

We are given;

d1 = 10 km = 10000 m

d2 = 10 km = 10000 m

Speed; v1 = 15 m/s

Speed; v2 = 25 m/s

Now, the formula for distance is; Distance = speed x time

Thus:

d1 = v1 x t1

t1 = d1/v1 = 10000/15 = 666.67 seconds

Also,

d2 = v2 x t2

t2 = d2/v2 = 10000/25 = 400 seconds

Average speed = total distance/total time = (10000 + 10000)/(666.67 + 400) = 18.75 m/s

From earlier, since t1 = 666.67 seconds and t2 = 400 seconds, then;

More time at 15 m/s than at 25 m/s.

How is it technically correct to say that a car making a u-turn can have a constant speed but cannot have a constant velocity?
saw5 [17]

During the "U" part of the turn, the car would follow an approximately circular path, and if it's moving at a constant speed, it would have to accelerate toward the center of the circle in order to change its direction.
