Answer:

1470 W

Explanation:

Power: This can be defined as the rate at which work is done or energy is used up. The S.I unit of power is Watt (W).

The expression for power is given as,

P = Energy/time

P = mgh/t ...................... Equation 1

Where P = power, m = mass, h = height, t = time, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: m = 75 kg, g =9.8 m/s², h = 1 m, t = 1 s.

Substitute into equation 1

P = (75×1×9.8)/1

P = 735 W.

From the above,

1 hp = 735 W

2 hp = (2×735) W

2 hp = 1470 W.

Hence 2 hp = 1470 W

Truck drivers approaching a steep hill that they must climb often increase their speed. What good does this do, if any?
Inga [223]
Um, this doesn't make any sense. By climbing a hill, you are decreasing your momentum and kinetic energy, so it slows you down. The only positive, is after you have climbed the hill, you have more potential energy, and it will be released once you go down the hill, but you will not be as fast as if you ignored the hill.

A permanent magnet has a magnetic dipole moment of 0.160 A · m^2. The magnet is in the presence of an external uniform magnetic
Elena L [17]

Answer:

the magnitude of the torque  on the permanent magnet = 7.34×10⁻³ Nm

the potential energy (in J) of the system consisting of the permanent magnet and the magnetic field provided by the coils =  -1.0485 ×10⁻² J

Explanation:

The torque is given by :

\bar {N} = \bar {m} * \bar {B}

where ;

m = 0.160 A.m²

B = 0.0800 T

θ = 35°

So the magnitude of the torque N = mBsinθ

N = (0.160)(0.0800)(sin 35°)

N = 0.007341

N = 7.34×10⁻³ Nm

Hence, the magnitude of the torque  on the permanent magnet = 7.34×10⁻³ Nm

b) The potential energy \bar{U} = \bar{-m} * \bar{B}

U = -mBcosθ

U = (- 0.160)(0.0800)(cos 45)

U = -0.010485

U = -1.0485 ×10⁻² J

Thus, the potential energy (in J) of the system consisting of the permanent magnet and the magnetic field provided by the coils =  -1.0485 ×10⁻² J
