how much horse power is needed to move a box that has a force of 1,492 newtons a distance of 2 meters in 1 second

This one is a piece 'o cake if you know the definition
of a horsepower, and impossible if you don't.

It is:            1 horsepower = 746 watts

Also, remember that  1 watt = 1 joule/second
                
Now:            Work = (force) x (distance)

To move this box 2 meters,

                     Work = (1,492 newtons) x (2 meters) = 2,984 joules

If you accomplished that feat in 1 second,
then you produced power of

                               (2,984 / 1) (joule/second) = 2,984 watts . 

                             (2,984 watt) x (1 HP / 746 watt) = 4 horsepower .

That's the solution, applying bullet-proof math and physics to the
given data.  But in the real world, I guarantee that you didn't do that.
______________________________________

By the way ... a comment regarding the terminology in the question:

The box doesn't "have a force" of 1,492 newtons.  That's the force
with which you ... or a horse, or an ox ... pushed against the box
in order to move it.

(And, if I might observe, that force is about 336 pounds,
so my money would be on the horse or the ox.)

A 61.0-kg person jumps from rest off a 10.0-m-high tower straight down into the water. Neglect air resistance. She comes to rest
9966 [12]

Answer:

Explanation:

In this case, law of conservation of energy will be implemented. It states that "the energy of the system remains conserved until or unless some external force act on it. Energy of the system may went through the conversion process like kinetic energy into potential and potential into kinetic energy.But their total always remain the same in conserved systems."

Given data:

Height of tower = 10.0 m

Depth of the pool = 3.00 cm

Mass of person = 61.0 kg

Solution:

Initial energy = Final energy

U_{i} =  (K.E) + U_{f}

As the person was at height initially so it has the potential energy only.

mg(h_{1} +h_{2}) = K.E + mgh_{2}

K.E = mgh_{1}

K.E = (61.0)(9.8)(10)\\K.E = 5978 J

Lets find out the magnitude of the force that the water is exerting on the diver.

W =ΔK.E

F.h_{2} = 5978\\

F = \frac{5978}{3}

F = 1992.67 N

A car traveling at 15 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 10 seconds. What is it’s acceleration
tresset_1 [31]

So the initial velocity is 15 m/s, the final velocity is 0 since it's at a complete stop and time is 10 seconds.  Therefore:

Acceleration=\frac{v_{final}-v_{initial}}{t_{final}-t_{initial}} =\frac{0m/s-15m/s}{10s-0s} =-1.5\frac{m}{s^2}

Therefore, the acceleration is -1.5 m/s^2.  The reason it's negative is due to the fact that the vector is going against it's original movement since it's decelerating.

Which component of magma includes mobile ions of silicon?
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Melt.

Explanation:

When rocks melt, they do so slowly and gradually because most rocks are made of several minerals, which all have different melting points; moreover, the physical and chemical relationships controlling the melting are complex. As a rock melts, for example, its volume changes. When enough rock is melted, the small globules of melt link up and soften the rock.

Under normal conditions, mantle rock like peridotite shouldn't melt in the Earth's upper mantle. However, by adding water you can lower the melting point of the rock. Alternatively, by decompressing the rock, you can bring it to a pressure where the melting point is lower. In both cases, basalt magma will form and considering it is hotter and less dense than the surrounding rock, it will percolate towards the surface and some of that erupts.
