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.

A projectile lands at the same height from which it was launched. which initial velocity will result
Serhud [2]

The required initial velocity that will result if a projectile lands at the same height from which it was launched is V₀ = V cosθ

First, we must understand that the component of the velocity along the vertical is due to maximum height achieved and expressed as usin θ.

The component of the velocity along the horizontal is due to the range of the object and is expressed as ucosθ.

If the <u>air resistance is ignored</u>, the velocity of the object will be constant throughout the flight and the initial velocity will be equal to the final velocity.

Hence the required initial velocity that will result if a projectile lands at the same height from which it was launched is V₀ = V cosθ

If you walk 3 kilometers in 30 minutes , what is the average speed in kilometers per hour?
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

6 km/h

Explanation:

V avg = ∆x/∆t = 3km / 30 min ×(60min/1h) = 3 km× 2 /h = 6 km/h

From the window of a house that is placed 15 m
kow [346]

Answer:

a) 52.915 m

b) The vertical velocity is approximately 21.092 m/s

The resultant velocity is approximately 26.5 m/s

Explanation:

a) The height of the window in the house from which the water was thrown = 15 m

The speed of the stream of water thrown = 20 m/s

The angle at which the water was thrown = 37° over the horizontal

The acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s²

a) The distance from the base of the house at which the water will fall is given as follows;

y = y₀ + u·t·sin(θ) + 1/2·g·t²

Where;

y = The vertical height reached    

u = The initial velocity

t = Time of flight

From the point the steam of water is thrown, we get;

y₀ = 15 m

Therefore;

y = 15 + 20 × t × sin(37°) - 1/2 × 10 × t²

y = 15 + 20 × t × sin(37°) - 5 × t²

When y = 0, Ground level, we get

0 = 15 + 20 × t × sin(37°) - 5 × t²

5·t² - 20×sin(37°)×t -15 = 0

∴ t = (20 ×sin(37°) ± √((-20 × ·sin(37°))² - 4 × (5) × (-15)))/(2 × 5)

t ≈ 3.3128302, or t ≈ 0.906

Therefore, the time of flight of the water, t ≈ 3.3128302 seconds

The distance from the base of the house at which the water will fall = The horizontal distance travelled by the water, x

x = u·cos(θ)×t

∴ x = 20 × cos(37°) × 3.3128302 ≈ 52.915

The distance from the base of the house at which the water will fall = x ≈ 52.915 m

b) The velocity at which the water will reach the ground, 'v', is given as follows;

The vertical velocity, v_y = u·sin(θ)·t - g·t

At the ground, t ≈ 3.3128302 seconds

∴ v_y = 20 × sin(37) - 10 × 3.3128302 ≈ -21.092

The vertical velocity at which the water will reach the ground, v_y ≈ 21.092 m/s (downwards)

The resultant velocity, v = √(v_y² + vₓ²)

∴ v = √(21.092² + (0 × cos(37°))²) ≈ 26.5

The resultant velocity at which the water will reach the ground, v ≈ 26.5 m/s.

What term was used to describe the final digit
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Significant digits (also called significant figures or “sig figs” for short) indicate the precision of a measurement. A number with more significant digits is more precise. For example, 8.00 cm is more precise than 8.0 cm.
