You could use an elevator or the stairs to lift a box to tenth floor.which has greater power?

Stairs don't have any power at all.  All the energy used to climb them
has to come from your muscles.

An elevator gets its power from the electric motors that lift it.  All YOU
have to do is stand there and look around.

All of this is a big part of the reason why elevators have become so
popular, and why no buildings with more than a few floors were built
before elevators were invented.

Car a runs a red light and broadsides car b, which is stopped and waiting to make a left turn. car a has a mass of 1,800kg. car
frez [133]

The law of conservation of momentum tells us that momentum is conserved, therefore total initial momentum should be equal to total final momentum. In this case, we can expressed this mathematically as:

mA vA + mB vB = m v

where, m is the mass in kg, v is the velocity in m/s

since m is the total mass, m = mA + mB, we can write the equation as:

mA vA + mB vB = (mA + mB) v

furthermore, car B was at a stop signal therefore vB = 0, hence

mA vA + 0 = (mA + mB) v

1800 (vA) = (1800 + 1500) (7.1 m/s)

<span>vA = 13.02 m/s</span>

If a current is two amps and the resistance is 3 ohms, how much voltage was needed?
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

6 V

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Ohm's law:

V=RI

where

V is the voltage in the circuit

R is the resistance

I is the current

In this problem, we know the current, I=2 A, and the resistance, R=3 \Omega, therefore we can find the voltage in the circuit:

V=RI=(3 \Omega )(2 A)=6 V

A rail car moving at 10m/s collides with and connect to another stationary car. What is their final velocity?
ki77a [65]

Answer:

read this it might help some

When a moving object collides with a stationary object of identical mass, the stationary object encounters the greater collision force. When a moving object collides with a stationary object of identical mass, the stationary object encounters the greater momentum change.

Two children of about the same weight are playing at the playground. They both climb up to the top of a small tower. One slides
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

D) The overall work done by gravity is zero  

This statement is correct .

If m be the mass of each of the children and h be the height of tower

work done by gravity on the boys in going up = - mgh

it is so because force applied by gravity = mg downwards and displacement

is upwards

work done will be negative = - mgh

Work done by gravity on boys when they come down = + mgh because both force and displacement are downwards .

Hence total work done = - mgh + mgh = 0.

The children will have same kinetic energy as the inclined surface is friction-less so no energy will be dissipated hence addition of energy to boys in both the cases will be same.
