Power(p) = 2kW

Time(t)= 3 h

Work done(w) = ?

p = w / t

w = p × t

w = 2kW × 3 h

w = 6kWh

Converting 6kWh to Joules,

6kWh

6×(10^3)h ( k = 10^3 )

6×10^3×(60×60) ( 1 hour = 60 × 60 sec)

2.2×10^7 J in 2 significant figures

While standing at the edge of the roof of a building, you throw a stone upward with an initial speed of 5.65 m/s. The stone subs
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

1. 20.54m/s

2. 1.52s

Explanation:

QUESTION 1:

The speed the stone impact the ground is the final speed/velocity, which can be calculated using the formula:

v² = u² + 2as

Where;

v = final velocity (m/s)

u = initial velocity (m/s)

a = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

s = distance (m)

From the provided information, u = 5.65m/s, v = ?, s = 19.9m, a = 9.8m/s²

v² = 5.65² + 2 (9.8 × 19.9)

v² = 31.9225 + 2 (195.02)

v² = 31.9225 + 390.04

v² = 421.9625

v = √421.9625

v = 20.5417

v = 20.54m/s

QUESTION 2:

Using v = u + at

Where v = final velocity (m/s) = 20.54m/s

t = time (s)

u = initial velocity (m/s) = 5.65m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

v = u + at

20.54 = 5.65 + 9.8t

20.54 - 5.65 = 9.8t

14.89 = 9.8t

t = 14.89/9.8

t = 1.519

t = 1.52s

Question 1(Multiple Choice Worth 4 points) The star named Canopus has a declination of approximately –52°. Which of these statem
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

It is 52° below the celestial equator.

Explanation:

The declination is the angle in degrees measured north (+) or south (-) of the an imaginary line called the celestial equator.

The celestial equator is a projection of the earth's equator on the celestial sphere. imaginary

The star named Canopus has a declination of approximately –52°.

Since the angle is negative, this shows that it is south or below the celestial equator and at 52° south of the celestial equator.

Thus, the star named Caponus is 52° below the celestial equator.

The depth of the Pacific Ocean in the Mariana Trench is 36,198 ft. What is the gauge pressure at this depth
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

the pressure at the depth is 1.08 × 10^{8} Pa

Explanation:

The pressure at the depth is given by,

P = h \rho g

Where, P = pressure at the depth

h = depth of the Pacific Ocean in the Mariana Trench = 36,198 ft = 11033.15 meter

\rho = density of water = 1000 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }

g = acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

P = 11033.15 × 9.8 × 1000

P = 1.08 × 10^{8} Pa

Thus, the pressure at the depth is 1.08 × 10^{8} Pa
