It’s because of the tilt of the earth’s axis, it means that w he n the earth leans towards the sun it’s summer, when it leans away from the sun it’s winter and in between the 2 spring and autumn (fall) occur.

An oven uses 4500 watts of power in 2 minutes, how much work was done?

jolli1 [7]

First of all we state the formula
Power=work done/time
we can rearrange this formula as well
work done=power x time

Since the SI unit of time is in seconds we change the minutes to seconds
2mins= 60x2 = 120 seconds

Using our formula (work done=power x time) we simply put in the values
work done = 4500 x 120
work done = 540,000J

Calculate the acceleration of a 1000 kg car if the motor provides a small thrust of 1000 N and the static and dynamic friction c

grin007 [14]

Explanation :

It is given that,

Mass of the car, m = 1000 kg

Force applied by the motor, $F_A=1000\ N$

The static and dynamic friction coefficient is, $\mu=0.5$

Let a is the acceleration of the car. Since, the car is in motion, the coefficient of sliding friction can be used. At equilibrium,

$F_A-\mu mg=ma$

$\dfrac{F_A-\mu mg}{m}=a$

$a=\dfrac{1000-0.5(1000)(9.81)}{1000}$

$a=-3.905\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the car is $-3.905\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

The frequency of the second harmonic of a certain musical instrument is 100 Hz. What is the fundamental frequency of the instrum

ruslelena [56]

The harmonic frequency of a musical instrument is the minimum frequency at which a string that is fixed at both ends in the instrument may vibrate. The harmonic frequency is known as the first harmonic. Each subsequent harmonic has a frequency equal to:
n*f, where n is the number of the harmonic and f is the harmonic frequency. Therefore, the harmonic frequency may be calculated using:
f = 100 / 2
f = 50 Hz
