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.

How much energy becomes unavailable for work in an isothermal process at 440 k, if the entropy increase is 25 j/k?
just olya [345]
Answer: 11,000 J

Explanation:

In an isothermal process,

\text{entropy increase} =  \frac{\text{amount of energy in heat transfer}}{\text{temperature} }  (1)

Note that, the energy used in heat transfer is not available for work. So, the amount of energy unavailable for work is equal to the energy used in heat transfer.

To obtain the amount of energy in heat transfer, we multiply both sides of equation (1) by the denominator of the right side of (1) so that 

amount of energy in heat transfer = (entropy increase)(temperature)
                                                      = (25 J/K)(440 K)
                                                      = 11,000 J

Since the amount of energy unavailable for work is equal to the amount of energy in the heat transfer, therefore the amount of energy unavailable for work is 11,000 J.

How does the kinetic energy of an object relate to its mass and velocity?
Setler [38]

The kinetic energy of an object is directly proportional to its mass, and to the square of its velocity.

Objects are lighter on the moon than they are on earth. if an object A weighs 25lbs on the Moon and another object B weighs 25 N
solong [7]

Answer:

a. Object A

Explanation:

The mass of an object implies the quantity of matter in it, while the weight is the amount of gravitational force applied on an object.

The object A has a mass of 25 lbs, but object B on the earth has a weight, W, of 25 N.

So that,

For object A on the moon, mass = 25 lbs

For object B on the earth, W = 25 N,

W = m x g

25 = m x 10                (g = 10 m/s^{2})

m = \frac{25}{10}

   = 2.5 lbs

Mass of object B is 2.5 lbs.

Therefore, the mass of the object A is more than that of B.

At what water temperature will additional heat energy need to be added before the temperature will change again?
Lostsunrise [7]
That would be 0 degrees Celsius aka the melting point of water.... If you look at the diagram I attached you notice that at 0 degrees Celsius it is flat, this is because much heat is needed at this point for water to rise to 1 degree... It is the same for the boiling point (100)<span />
