Answer: Power developed by her is 0.32 hp

Explanation:

Work done , W= Force(F) X Displacement (d) in the direction of force

Thus work done , $W=Fd=110\times 4.0 ft-lbf = 440 ft-lbf$

Now 1.0 ft-lbf = 1.355 joules of energy

Therefore , work done, W= 440x 1.355 J = 596.2 J

Average Power , $P=\frac{work done(W)}{time (t)}$

=> $P=\frac{596.2}{2.5} watts = 238.5 watts$

We know 746 hp = 1.0 watts

=> $P=\frac{238.5}{746} hp=0.32 hp$

Thus average power developed by her is 0.32 hp

Two electric charges, held a distance, dd, apart experience an electric force of magnitude, FF, between them. If one of the char

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

$F'=2F$

Explanation:

The Coulomb's law states that the magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them:

$F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}$

In this case, we have $q_1'=2q_1$ :

$F'=\frac{kq'_1q_2}{d^2}\\F'=\frac{k(2q_1)q_2}{d^2}\\F'=2\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}\\F'=2F$

How did France and Spain use what they learned during the American revolution to benefit their own countries

alexgriva [62]

Spain declared war on Britain as an ally of France, itself an ally of the American colonies, and provided supplies and munitions to the American forces. Beginning in 1776, it jointly funded Roderigue Hortalez and Company, a trading company that provided critical military supplies.

What is the temperature increase of 4.0 kg of water when heated by an 800-W immersion heater for 10 min? (cw = 4 186 J/kg⋅°C)

Llana [10]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

given,

mass of water = 4 Kg

Water is heated to = 800 W

time of immersion = 10 min

= 10 x 60 = 600 s

using equation of specific heat

Q = m S ΔT

S is the specific heat capacity of water which is equal to 4182 J/kg°C.

and another formula of heat

Q = Pt

now,

P t = m S ΔT

800 x 600 = 4 x 4182 x ΔT

ΔT = 29° C

temperature increased is equal to ΔT = 29° C

Hence, the correct answer is option C

Calculate how much force is required to give a 0.15-kg baseball an acceleration of 12m/s2

Nutka1998 [239]

F = M A (Newton's #2)

Force = (0.15 kg) (12 m/s²)

Force = (0.15 · 12) (kg·m/s²)

Force = 1.8 Newtons
