As you said p=w/t.
but, w=f×s
=500×5=2500j
t=10s
p=w/t
=2500/10=250 watts

Ron weighs a bottle with a mass of 0.5 kilograms on a spring scale. The spring stretches by 1 centimeter. He then weighs a secon
Yuri [45]

Answer:

1 kg

Explanation:

Applying,

Hook's law,

F = ke................. Equation 1

Where F = force, k = force constant of the spring, e = extension.

But from the question,

The weight of the bottle is the force acting on the spring scale

therefore,

mg = ke............ Equation 2

Where m = mass of the bottle, g = acceleration due to gravity.

make k the subject of the equation

k = mg/e............ Equation 3

Given: m = 0.5 kg, e = 1 cm = 0.01 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

k = (0.5×9.8)/0.01

k = 490 N/m

If the mass of the second bottle is weighed,

given: e = 2 cm = 0.02 m

subtitute into equation 1

m×9.8 = 490×0.02

9.8m = 9.8

m = 9.8/9.8

m = 1 kg.

Hence the mass of the second bottle is 1 kg

Light waves have some similarities with water and sound waves, but they are not exactly the same. Describe all the differences y
makkiz [27]

<u>Answer:</u>


<h2>All the waves are pertubations that propagate (transport) energy.</h2><h2></h2>

Nevertheless, they have some differences:


1. Light waves are<u> electromagnetic waves</u>, while sound and water waves are <u>mechanical waves</u>, this is the first and principal difference.  

2. Electromagnetic waves can<u> propagate in vacuum</u> (they do not need a medium or material), but mechanical waves obligatory need a material to propagate

3. Light waves are always <u>transversal waves</u>, this means <u>the oscillatory movement is in a direction that is perpendicular to the propagation</u>; but mechanical waves may be both: <u>longitudinal waves</u> (the oscillation occurs in the same direction as the propagation) or transversal waves.

4. Electromagnetic waves propagates at a <u>constant velocity</u> (Light velocity) while the velocity of mechanical waves will depend on the type of wave and the <u>density</u> of the medium or material.

5. <u>Mechanical waves</u> are characterized by the regular variation of a single magnitude, while <u>electromagnetic waves</u> are characterized by the variation of two magnitudes: the electric field and the magnetic field

6. <u>Water waves</u> are 2-dimensional waves, while the <u>light and the sound</u> are tridimensional spherical waves

7. Light waves <u>transports energy in the form of </u><u>radiation</u>, while mechanical waves t<u>ransport energy with </u><u>material</u>

Why are electromagnets, rather than permanent magnets, used in MRLs?
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

The main advantage of an electromagnet over a permanent magnet is that the magnetic field can be quickly changed by controlling the amount of electric current in the winding. However, unlike a permanent magnet that needs no power, an electromagnet requires a continuous supply of current to maintain the magnetic field.

Which term defines the amount of mechanical work an engine can do per unit of heat energy it uses? A. specific heat B. conductiv
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Efficiency

Explanation:

  • The amount of mechanical work an engine can do per unit of heat energy it uses is called its efficiency.
  • It is also defined as the output divided by the total electrical power consumed.
  • In terms of heat, efficiency of engine is given by :

\eta=1-\dfrac{Q_o}{Q_i}

Q_o\ and\ Q_i are output heat and input heat respectively.

Hence, the correct option is (d) "efficiency"
