Answer:
A) being influenced by equal amounts of gravity and air resistance.
Explanation:
B) slowing down because of an unbalanced force of air resistance.
False - if it was slowing down, then the velocity would go down.
D) on the ground and is not falling anymore.
False - This would be mistaken as the answer but it is not because if the person is not falling anymore the horizontal line should be at the x-axis, meaning that there is no more velocity.
C) accelerating because of an unbalanced force of gravity.
False - The line would otherwise be going up or down.
Answer:
Explanation:
The velocity of the vehicle would increase because the the tanks (when filled with water) must have exerted a force which would reduce the velocity of the vehicle at a certain pressure on the gas pedal. Note that force equals mass multiplied by acceleration; as the mass decreases, so the force decreases. Thus, when the mass exerted by this tanks (on the vehicle) decrease as a result of the hole punctured in them, the force exerted by the tanks would also decrease causing an increase in velocity of the pick up truck when the same pressure is applied on the gas pedal throughout (before and after the puncture).
The conservation law that applied here is the law of conservation of energy which states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another. This is because the energy the vehicle used in carrying the load (the tanks) was transformed to the energy that resulted in increasing it's velocity (no new energy was formed as the pressure on the gas pedal remained the same).
Answer: 500 Watts
Explanation:
Power 
is the speed with which work 
is done. Its unit is Watts (), being 
.
Power is mathematically expressed as:
(1)
Where 
is the time during which work is performed.
On the other hand, the Work done by a Force 
refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path. It is a scalar magnitude, and its unit in the International System of Units is the Joule (like energy). Therefore, 1 Joule is the work done by a force of 1 Newton when moving an object, in the direction of the force, along 1 meter (
).
When the applied force is constant and the direction of the force and the direction of the movement are parallel, the equation to calculate it is:
(2)
In this case, we have the following data:
So, let's calculate the work done by Peter and then find how much power is involved:
From (2):
(3)
(4)
Substituting (4) in (1):
(5)
Finally:
Because no sunlight can penetrate it
