Answer:

The power exerted by the student is 51.2 W

Explanation:

Given;

extension of the elastic band, x = 0.8 m

time taken to stretch this distance, t = 0.5 seconds

the spring constant, k = 40 N/m

Apply Hook's law;

F = kx

where;

F is the force applied to the elastic band

k is the spring constant

x is the extension of the elastic band

F = 40 x 0.8

F = 32 N

The power exerted by the student is calculated as;

P = Fv

where;

F is the applied force

v is velocity = d/t

P = F x (d/t)

P = 32 x (0.8 /0.5)

P = 32 x 1.6

P = 51.2 W

Therefore, the power exerted by the student is 51.2 W

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

reactants

Explanation:

The reaction model is given as shown below:

                            4Fe   +   3O₂   →   2Fe₂O₃

The name that describes the iron and oxygen found on the left hand side of Leann's model is reactants.

Reactants in a chemical expression are the species that are combining together to give a product.

Some reactions only have one reactant and such a chemical process is often termed decomposition reaction.

The two moles of Fe₂O₃ is the product of the reaction.

Suppose that you measure the length of a spaceship, at rest relative to you, to be 400 m. How long will you measure it to be if
Rashid [163]

Answer:

<em>264 m</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The complete question is

Suppose that you measure the length of a spaceship, at rest relative to you, to be 400 m. How long will you measure it to be if it flies past you at a speed of v = 0.75c

using the length contraction relationship,

l = l_{0} \sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2}  }

where \beta = \frac{v}{c}

l is the relativistic length

l_{0} is the actual length = 400 m

v is the velocity of the spaceship

c is the speed of light

since v = 0.75c

v/c = 0.75

substituting, we have

l = 400 * \sqrt{1 - 0.75 ^{2}  } = 400 x 0.66 = <em>264 m</em>

Daniel [21]

Answer:

distance = 16  + 12 \\  = 28 \: meters \\  \\ displacement =  {}^{ + } 12 +  {}^{ - } 16 \\  =  - 4 \: meters \\ magnitude =  >  |s|  = 4 \: meters

Two objects perform the same task. One has thousands of moving parts while the other has no moving parts. What are they?.
Natalka [10]

The two objects perform the same task of measuring time and they are hourglass and sundial.

<h3>What is an hourglass?</h3>

An hourglass is a device used to measure the passage of time.

The hourglass contains two glass bulbs connected vertically by a narrow neck that allows a regulated flow of a substance from the upper bulb to the lower one.

<h3>What is a sundial?</h3>

A sundial is a horological device that is used to measure time of the day when there is sunlight by the apparent position of the Sun in the sky. Unlike hourglass, its doesn't move.

Thus, the two objects perform the same task of measuring time and they are hourglass and sundial.
