One horsepower (1 hp) is the unit of power based on the work that a horse can do in one second. This is defined, in English unit

s, as a force of 550 lb that can move an object 1 foot in 1 s. In SI, 1 hp equals 745.7 W, or 745.7 J of work delivered in 1 s. Suppose you have a horse that delivers 745.7 W of power, but that it does the work in only 0.55 s. How much work has this horse done?

Power is defined as rate of work done which means it is work done in 1 second of time

Now it is given that we have a horse that will give power 745.7 W

So it will do work of 745.7 J in 1 second of time

now if we wish to find the work done by horse in 0.55 s

so we can say

$W = Power \times time$

$W = 745.7 \times 0.55$

$W = 410.14 J$

So it will do total work of 410.14 J in 0.55 s of time

A billiard ball of mass m moving with speed v1=1 m/s collides head-on with a second ball of mass 2m which is at rest. What is th

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The velocity of mass 2m is $v_B = 0.67 m/s$

Explanation:

From the question w are told that

The mass of the billiard ball A is =m

The initial speed of the billiard ball A = $v_1$ =1 m/s

The mass of the billiard ball B is = 2 m

The initial speed of the billiard ball B = 0

Let the final speed of the billiard ball A = $v_A$

Let The finial speed of the billiard ball B = $v_B$

According to the law of conservation of Energy

$\frac{1}{2} m (v_1)^2 + \frac{1}{2} 2m (0) ^ 2 = \frac{1}{2} m (v_A)^2 + \frac{1}{2} 2m (v_B)^2$

Substituting values

$\frac{1}{2} m (1)^2 = \frac{1}{2} m (v_A)^2 + \frac{1}{2} 2m (v_B)^2$

Multiplying through by $\frac{1}{2}m$

$1 =v_A^2 + 2 v_B ^2 ---(1)$

According to the law of conservation of Momentum

$mv_1 + 2m(0) = mv_A + 2m v_B$

Substituting values

$m(1) = mv_A + 2mv_B$

Multiplying through by $m$

$1 = v_A + 2v_B ---(2)$

making $v_A$ subject of the equation 2

$v_A = 1 - 2v_B$

Substituting this into equation 1

$(1 -2v_B)^2 + 2v_B^2 = 1$

$1 - 4v_B + 4v_B^2 + 2v_B^2 =1$

$6v_B^2 -4v_B +1 =1$

$6v_B^2 -4v_B =0$

Multiplying through by $\frac{1}{v_B}$

$6v_B -4 = 0$

$v_B = \frac{4}{6}$

$v_B = 0.67 m/s$

How are lasers used to determine the distance from earth to the moon?

mezya [45]

A beam of laser is directed at a reflecting surface put on the moon when the beam of laser is reflected a receiver on the each measure the time since the beam was sent till it was received. Laser is simply light so it has constant velocity in vacuum ~ air (c = 3 x 10^8 m/s)

to find the distance:

t : time measured between launching the beam and receiving it

d : distance

d = ct

A block is resting on a platform that is rotating at an angular speed of 2.4 rad/s. The coefficient of static friction between t

Sloan [31]

Answer:

r = 0m is the Minimum distance from the axis at which the block can remain in place wothout skidding.

Explanation:

From a sum of forces:

$Ff = m*a$ where Ff = μ * N and $a = \frac{V^2}{r}=\omega^2*r$

N - m*g = 0 So, N = m*g. Replacing everything on the original equation:

$\mu*m*g = m*\omega^2*r$ (eq2)

Solving for r:

$r = \frac{\mu*g}{\omega^2}=1.41m$

If we analyze eq2 you can conclude that as r grows, the friction has to grow (assuming that ω is constant), so the smallest distance would be 0 and the greatest 1.41m. Beyond that distance, μ has to be greater than 0.83.
