Power is the rate work done given by dividing work done by unit time. It is measured in watts equivalent to J/s.
In this case the force by the student is mg = 490 N (taking g as 9.8m/s²)
Work done is given by force × distance,
Therefore, Power =(force × distance)/ time, but velocity/speed =distance/time
Thus, Power = force × speed/velocity
                     = 490 N × 1.25
                     = 612.5 J/S (Watts)
Hence, power will be 612.5 Watts.

The lower the angle of the slope, ________ the acceleration along the ramp, therefore, the speed at the bottom of a slope will b
pogonyaev

Answer:

Lower

Lower

gsintheta (gsinθ)

Explanation:

The sum of forces resolved parallel to the inclined plane is given by;

F - mgsinθ = 0

ma - mgsinθ = 0

ma = mgsinθ

a = gsinθ

Acceleration is proportional to angle of inclination, thus the lower the angle of the slope, lower the acceleration along the ramp.

therefore, the speed at the bottom of a slope will be lower, (velocity is directly proportional to acceleration) and, consequently, the control will be better.

The acceleration along the ramp, is gsintheta (gsinθ)

What is your acceleration while sitting in your chair. the latitude of corvallis is 44.4˚.?
marta [7]
 <span>You can start with the equations you know 

a=v^2/r = (2pi*r/T)^2/r = 4pi^2r/T^2 

Radius of earth (R) = 6378.1 km 
Time in one day (T) = 86400 seconds 
Latitude = 44.4 degrees 

If you draw a circle and have the radius going out at a 44.4 degree angle above the center you can then find the r. 

r=Rcos(44.4) 
r=6378.1cos(44.4) 
r= 4556.978198 km or 4556978 m 

Now you can plug this value into the acceleration equation from above... 

a= 1.8*10^8/7.47*10^9 
a= .0241 m/s^2 </span>

A copper telephone wire has essentially
Lunna [17]

Answer:

128.21 m

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial temperature (θ₁) = 4 °C

Final temperature (θ₂) = 43 °C

Change in length (ΔL) = 8.5 cm

Coefficient of linear expansion (α) = 17×10¯⁶ K¯¹)

Original length (L₁) =.?

The original length can be obtained as follow:

α = ΔL / L₁(θ₂ – θ₁)

17×10¯⁶ = 8.5 / L₁(43 – 4)

17×10¯⁶ = 8.5 / L₁(39)

17×10¯⁶ = 8.5 / 39L₁

Cross multiply

17×10¯⁶ × 39L₁ = 8.5

6.63×10¯⁴ L₁ = 8.5

Divide both side by 6.63×10¯⁴

L₁ = 8.5 / 6.63×10¯⁴

L₁ = 12820.51 cm

Finally, we shall convert 12820.51 cm to metre (m). This can be obtained as follow:

100 cm = 1 m

Therefore,

12820.51 cm = 12820.51 cm × 1 m / 100 cm

12820.51 cm = 128.21 m

Thus, the original length of the wire is 128.21 m

A physics student skis down a hill, accelerating at a constant
ikadub [295]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

225 meters

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity of an object in motion.

In our case we are given;

Acceleration, a = 2.0 m/s²

Time, t = 15 s

We are required to find the length of the slope;

Assuming the student started at rest, then the initial velocity, V₀ is Zero.

<h3>Step 1: Calculate the final velocity, Vf</h3>

Using the equation of linear motion;

Vf = V₀ + at

Therefore;

Vf = 0 + (2 × 15)

    = 30 m/s

Thus, the final velocity of the student is 30 m/s

<h3>Step 2: Calculate the length (displacement) of the slope </h3>

Using the other equation of linear motion;

S = 0.5 at + V₀t

We can calculate the length, S of the slope

That is;

S = (0.5 × 2 × 15² ) - (0 × 15)

= 225 m

Therefore, the length of the slope is 225 m
