A pail in a water well is hoisted by means of a frictionless winch, which consists of a spool and a hand crank. When Jill turns
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

166 W

Explanation:

Power is the rate at which work is done.

\text{Power} = \dfrac{\text{Work done}}{\text{time}}

The work done by Jill is the product of the weight of the pail and the height it moves.

The weight is the product of the mass and acceleration of gravity, <em>g</em>. Taking <em>g</em> as 9.81 m/s², the weight is

<em>W</em> = (6.90 kg)(9.81 m/s²) = 67.689 N

Work done = (67.689 N)(27.0 m) = 1827.603 J

Power = (1827.603 J) ÷ (11.0 s) = 166 W

Describe how engineers designed a parachute to create the forces needed to slow down the falling person.
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Due to the resistance of air, a drag force acts on a falling body (parachute) to slow down its motion. Without air resistance, or drag, objects would continue to increase speed until they hit the ground. The larger the object, the greater its air resistance. Parachutes use a large canopy to increase air resistance. Also, Once the parachute is opened, the air resistance overwhelms the downward force of gravity. The net force and the acceleration on the falling skydiver is upward. An upward net force on a downward falling object would cause that object to slow down. The skydiver thus slows down. Sorry if not helpful.

A softball player moving 3.89 m/s
Ahat [919]

Answer:

0.119 s

Explanation:

Given that

U=3.89\ m/s\\a=-1.44\ m/s^2\\S=4.8\ m

Lets take final speed of the softball after covering 4.8 m = V

We know that

V^2=U^2+2aS\\V^2=3.89^2-2\times 1.44\times 4.8\\V=3.7\ m/s

Also We know that

V=U+at\\

Putting the value of V ,U and a in the previous equation  We get

3.7=3.89-1.44\times t\\t=0.119\ s

Therefore slide time will be 0.119 s

You find a micrometer (a tool used to
MakcuM [25]

Explanation:

A micrometer is a measuring device or an instrument which is used to measure very minute measurements very accurately and precisely. It is mathematical tool used to provide accurate measurement for any mechanical components.

Now, if the micrometer that I have found is badly bent, it would provide faulty or wrong measurements both in terms of  precision and accuracy when compared to a high quality meter stick.
