Answer: 3217.79 hours.

Explanation:

Given, A 140 lb. climber saved her potential energy as she descended from Mt. Everest (Elev. 29,029 ft) to Kathmandu (Elev. 4,600 ft).

Power = 0.4 watt

Mass of climber = 140 lb

= 140 x 0.4535 kg  [∵ 1 lb= 0.4535 kg]

⇒ Mass of climber (m) = 63.50 kg

Let h_1=29,029\ ft= 8848.04\ m\ \ \ \  [ 1 ft=0.3048\ m ] and h_2= 4,600 ft = 1402.08\ m

Now, Energy saved =mg(h_1-h_2)=(63.50)(9.8)(8848.04-1402.08)=4633620.91\ J

\text{Power}=\dfrac{\text{energy}}{\text{time}}\\\\\Rightarrow 0.4=\dfrac{4633620.91}{\text{time}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{time}=\dfrac{4633620.91}{0.4}\approx11584052.28\text{ seconds}\\\\=\dfrac{11584052.28}{3600}\text{ hours}\ \ \ [\text{1 hour = 3600 seconds}]\\\\=3217.79\text{ hours}

Hence, she can power her 0.4 watt flashlight for 3217.79 hours.

1) The unit of power is
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

1) the unit of power is A.Watt

2)100J=50W

100=50s

divide both sides by 50s

S=2s(A)

A rocket, initially at rest on the ground, accelerates straight upward from rest with constant (net) acceleration 29.4 m/s2 m /
Sidana [21]

Answer:

The maximum height is 2881.2 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Acceleration = 29.4 m/s²

Time = 7.00 s

We need to calculate the distance

Using equation of motion

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Put the value into the formula

s=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times29.4\times7^2

s=720.3\ m

We need to calculate the velocity

Using formula of velocity

v=a\times t

Put the value into the formula

v=29.4\times7

v=205.8\ m/s

We need to calculate the height

Using formula of height

H=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}

Put the value into the formula

H=\dfrac{(205.8)^2}{2\times9.8}

H=2160.9\ m

We need to calculate the maximum height

Using formula for maximum height

H'=H+s

Put the value into the formula

H'=2160.9+720.3

H'=2881.2\ m

Hence, The maximum height is 2881.2 m.
