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

What is the most likely outcome of increasing the number of slits per unit distance on a diffraction grating?1) lines become nar
Nina [5.8K]

It's important to know that diffraction gratings can be identified by the number of lines they have per centimeter. Often, more lines per centimeter is more useful because the images separation is greater when this happens. That is, the distance between lines increases.

<h2>Therefore, the answer is 2.</h2>

<h2>~<u>Solution</u> :-</h2>
  • Here, the <u>moment arm</u> is defined as follows;

The magnitude of two forces, which when acting at right angle produce resultant force of VlOkg and when acting at 60° produce resultant of Vl3 kg. These forces are D. gravitational force of attraction towards the centre of the earth. A sample of metal weighs 219 gms in air, 180 gms in water, 120 gms in an <em>unknown fluid</em>.

Q. At what point in a waterfall do the drops of water contain the most kinetic energy ?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

2.When they reach the bottom of the fall

Explanation:

The potential energy of the waterfall is maximum at the maximum height and decreases with decrease in height. Based on the law of conservation of mechanical energy, as the potential energy of the water fall is decreasing with  decrease in height of the fall, its kinetic energy will be increasing and the kinetic energy will be maximum at zero height (bottom of the fall).

Thus, the correct option is "2" When they reach the bottom of the fall

What is a disadvantage of using nuclear power to produce electricity?
MrRa [10]

Question:

What is a disadvantage of using nuclear power to produce electricity?

Answer:

Disadvantages of Nuclear Power

The further implementations of nuclear power are limited because although nuclear energy does not produce CO2 the way fossil fuels do, there is still a toxic byproduct produced from uranium-fueled nuclear cycles: radioactive fission waste.
