Given Information:

Mass of elephant = m = 750 kg

Height = h = 14.3 m

time = t = 30 seconds

Required Information:

Power needed to lift elephant = P = ?

Answer:

Power needed to lift elephant ≈ 3507 watts

Explanation:

As we know power is given by

P = PE/t

Where PE is the potential energy and t is the time

Potential energy is given by

PE = mgh

Where m is the mass of elephant, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height to lift the elephant.

PE = 750*9.81*14.3

PE = 105212.25 Joules

Therefore, the required power to lift the elephant is

P = PE/t

P = 105212.25/30

P ≈ 3507 watts

One speed skater starts across a frozen lake at an average speed of 8 m/s. Ten seconds later, a second speed skater starts from

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

40 s

Explanation:

After 10 seconds, the first skater would have a 8m/s * 10s = 80 m head start

Let t be the number of seconds after the second skater starts will the second skater overtake the first skater

The distance traveled by the first skater after t seconds is

$s_1 = v_1t = 8t$

Similarly the distance traveled by the 2nd skater after t seconds is

$s_2 = v_2t = 10t$

Since the 2nd skater catches up to the 1st one after 80 m behind, the distance traveled by the 2nd one must be 80m greater than the distance of the 1st skater

$s_2 = s_1 + 80$

We can substitute $s_1 = 8t, s_2 = 10t$

$10t = 8t + 80$

$2t = 80$

$t = 80 / 2 = 40 s$

Substances X and Y are both nonpolar. If the volatility of X is higher than that of Y, what is the best explanation?

lesya692 [45]

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the last option. If the volatility of X is higher than that of Y, then <span>Y’s molecules experience stronger London dispersion forces than X’s molecules. All molecules has london dispersion forces. Also, the stronger the bond, the harder it is to volatilize. Hope this answers the question.</span>
