a) What is the average useful power output of a person who does6.00×10^6Jof useful work in 8.00 h? (b) Working at this rate, how

long will it take this person to lift 2000 kg of bricks 1.50 m to a platform? (Work done to lift his body can be omitted because it is not considered useful output here

Answer:

208.33 W

141.26626 seconds

Explanation:

E = Energy = $6\times 10^6\ J$

t = Time taken = 8 h

m = Mass = 2000 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = Height of platform = 1.5 m

Power is obtained when we divide energy by time

$P=\frac{E}{t}\\\Rightarrow P=\frac{6\times 10^6}{8\times 60\times 60}\\\Rightarrow P=208.33\ W$

The average useful power output of the person is 208.33 W

The energy in the next part would be the potential energy

The time taken would be

$t=\frac{E}{P}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{mgh}{208.33}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{2000\times 9.81\times 1.5}{208.33}\\\Rightarrow t=141.26626\ s$

The time taken to lift the load is 141.26626 seconds

In creating his definition of horsepower, James Watt, the inventor of the steam engine, calculated the power output of a horse o

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Part a)

$F = 182.3 Lb$

Part b)

$P = 0.55 HP$

Explanation:

Diameter of the circle = 24 ft

Diameter = 731.52 cm = 7.3152 m

now the horse complete 144 trips in one hour

so time to complete one trip is given as

$t = \frac{3600}{144} s$

$t = 25 s$

now the speed of the horse is given as

$v = \frac{2\pi r}{t}$

$v = \frac{\pi(7.3152)}{25}$

$v = 0.92 m/s$

Part a)

Now we know that the power is defined as rate of work done

it is given as

$P = F v$

$746 = F(0.92)$

$F = 810.9 N$

$F = 182.3 Lb$

Part b)

Work done to climb up to 3 m height is given by

$W = mgh$

now we have

$Power = \frac{Work}{time}$

$P = \frac{mgh}{t}$

$P = \frac{(70kg)(9.81)(3)}{5.0s}$

$P = 412.02 Watt$

now we know that 1 HP = 746 Watt

so we have

$P = \frac{412}{746} = 0.55 HP$

2. An airplane traveling north at 220. meters per second encounters a 50.0-meters-per-second crosswind

Alex777 [14]

The resultant speed of the plane is (3) 226 m/s

Why?

We can calculate the resultant speed of the plane by using the Pythagorean Theorem since both speeds are perpendicular (forming a right triangle).

So, calculating we have:

$ResultantSpeed=\sqrt{VerticalSpeed^{2}+HorizontalSpeed^{2}}\\\\ResultantSpeed=\sqrt{(220\frac{m}{s})^{2}+50\frac{m}{s})^{2}$

$ResulntantSpeed=\sqrt{48400\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} }+2500\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} } } \\\\ResultantSpeed=\sqrt{50900\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} }}=226\frac{m}{s}$

Hence, we have that the resultant speed of the plane is (3) 226 m/s

A spiracle polish metallic ball is uses a diverging mirror with a focal length of -20 cm a bird 25 cm tall standing 50 cm away L

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

1/f = 1/i + 1/o thin lens equation

1/i = 1/f - 1/o

i = o * f / ( o - f) = 50 * (-20) / (50 - (-20)) = -14.3 cm

The final image is erect and 14.3 cm behind the curved surface

M = -o / i = 14.3 / 50 = .29 magnificaton of object

S = .29 * 25 cm = 7.1 cm appearance of bird in mirror (height)
