Answer:

Power, P = 600 watts

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of sprinter, m = 54 kg

Speed, v = 10 m/s

Time taken, t = 3 s

We need to find the average power generated. The work done divided by time taken is called power generated by the sprinter i.e.

$P=\dfrac{W}{t}$

Work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the sprinter.

$P=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2}{t}$

$P=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}\times 54\ kg\times (10\ m/s)^2}{3\ s}$

P = 900 watts

So, the average power generated by the sprinter is 900 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.

Art [367]

The answer is : We’ll see the bell move, but we won’t hear it ring. This is because light can travel through vacuum but sound cannot. Sound waves are vibrations of particles in any media, so sound requires a medium to travel, and it cannot travel in a vacuum as there is no particles to vibrate.

What temperature will 1L of H20 at 200°F become when a piece of copper,0.25kg at 260.928K, comes into contact with water?

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of 1 L water = 1 kg .

200⁰F = (200 - 32) x 5 / 9 = 93.33⁰C .

260.928 K = 260.928 - 273 = - 12.072⁰C .

water is at higher temperature .

Let the equilibrium temperature be t .

Heat lost by water = mass x specific heat x fall of temperature

= 1 x 4.2 x 10³ x ( 93.33 - t )

Heat gained by copper

= .25 x .385 x 10³ x ( t + 12.072 )

Heat lost = heat gained

1 x 4.2 x 10³ x ( 93.33 - t ) = .25 x .385 x 10³ x ( t + 12.072 )

93.33 - t = .0229 ( t + 12.072)

93.33 - t = .0229 t + .276

93.054 = 1.0229 t

t = 90.97⁰C .
