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.

When looking at a food label, to be considered a good source of a nutrient, the nutrient must be? A.More than 20% of your daily

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

A. More than 20% of your daily recommended amount.

Explanation:

Reading food labels can be tricky. The percent daily value listed on the right of all food labels lets you know what percent out of the recommended daily intake of each nutrient you are consuming in that specific food.

To check if the food you're consuming is a good source of that nutrient you need in higher amount, the nutrient must be labeled 20% or higher.

The rule used here is called the 5/20 rule. According to this rule, A nutrient that is 5% or below is considered less and a nutrient which is labeled 20% or higher is considered good enough in that food source.

Choose the situation below in which the force applied is the greatest.

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Explanation:

We know the formula for Work to be:

W = f * d

Where W is work done

f is force

d is the distance

Work = 50

Distance = 50

So, Force is:

Force = 50/50 = 1

Work = 400

Distance = 80

Force = 400/80 = 5

Work = 365

Distance = 73

Force = 365/73 = 5

Work = 144

Distance = 16

Force = 144/16 = 9

Hence, D is the situation in which the force applied is the greatest.

A hockey puck with a mass of 0.175 kg slides over the ice. The puck initially slides with a speed of 5.25 m/s, but it comes to a

Neko [114]

Answer:

1.70 J

Explanation:

The heat dissipated is the difference in the kinetic energies.

This is given by

$E = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2$

$v_i$ and $v_f$ are the initial and final velocities.

With <em>m</em> = 0.175 kg,

$E = \frac{1}{2}\times0.175(2.85^2 - 5.25^2) = -1.701\text{ J}$

The negative sign appears because energy is lost.
