In my opinion, the correct answer is the first one, 'the cumulative nature of modern knowledge of physics'. He is trying to say here that it is the overall knowledge of physics and of his predecessors that has helped him become the greatness that he is today.

a pulley is used to lift a 2000 N safe over frosty's head. the safe is lifted 6m in 4s by Rudolph. how much power did Rudolph us
garri49 [273]

Answer:

3000W

Explanation:

Given parameter:

Weight of safe  = 2000N

Height of lift = 6m

Time = 4s

Unknown:

Power used by Rudolph = ?

Solution:

Power is the rate at which work is being done. It is expressed as:

 Power  = \frac{Work done }{Time taken}  

   Work done  = Weight x height = 2000 x 6  = 12000J

Power  = \frac{12000}{4}   = 3000W

Explain why an egg thrown at a concrete wall will break, but an egg thrown at a sheet hanging from the ceiling will not. (Be sur
Firlakuza [10]

An egg thrown at a concrete wall will break, but an egg thrown at a sheet hanging from the ceiling will not due to high momentum and acceleration.

<h3>Why an egg thrown at a concrete wall will break?</h3>

An egg thrown at a concrete wall will break, but an egg thrown at a sheet hanging from the ceiling will not because the momentum and acceleration increases when the egg is thrown downward due to gravity but when we throw an egg in the vertical direction, they move against gravity so the momentum and acceleration decreases.

So we can conclude that an egg thrown at a concrete wall will break, but an egg thrown at a sheet hanging from the ceiling will not due to high momentum and acceleration.

Annie has a soccer ball and a cake ball she kicks each ball with the same Force the soccer ball accelerates at 3 m per second sq
lana [24]
Answer: The acceleration will be greater in the kickball than the soccer ball since the kick ball has a smaller mass and provided they are acted upon with equal force magnitude.

Explanation:

We can prove this by substituting with numerical values.

Say the force she kicked both balls with was 30 N. The mass of the soccer ball is 10kg and the mass of the kickball is 6kg.

Applying Newtons Second Law, F = ma

For the soccer ball:

30 = 10a
a = 30/10
a = 3

For the kickball:

30 = 6a
a = 30/6
a = 5

Hence the kickball will travel with a greater acceleration given the same force is acted upon and has a smaller mass than the soccer ball

Hope this helps, brainliest would be appreciated :)
