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.)

An atom with the expected number of neutrons, protons, and electrons is called a(n)
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Stable atom

Explanation:

A stable atom is one that has a balanced nuclear inter-particle force reaction as such the binding energy of a stable atom is sufficient to permanently keep the nucleus as one unit. Examples of a stable atom are the atoms of  monoisotopic elements such as fluorine, sodium, iodine, gold, aluminium, and cobalt.

In a stable atom the expected number of proton, neutron, and electron are present while in an unstable atom or radioactive atom, there are more than the expected number of neutrons or protons, such that the internal energy of the nucleus is excessive and more than the binding energy, which can lead to radioactive decay.

A bike rider approaches a hill with a speed of 8.5 m/s. The total mass of the bike rider is 91kg. What is the kinetic energy of
Anestetic [448]

a) The kinetic energy (KE) of an object is expressed as the product of half of the mass (m) of the object and the square of its velocity (v²):

KE = \frac{1}{2}m* v^{2}

It is given:

v = 8.5 m/s

m = 91 kg

So:

KE= \frac{1}{2}*91*8.5^{2} =3,287.4J


b) We can calculate height by using the formula for potential energy (PE):
PE = m*g*h

In this case, h is eight, and PE is the same as KE:
PE = KE = 3,287.4 J

m = 91 kg

g = 9.81 m/s² - gravitational acceleration

h = ? - height


Now, let's replace those:

3,287.4= 91 * 9.81 * h

⇒ h = 3,287.4/(91*9.81) = 3,287.4/892.7 = 3.7 m

Power grid
All the poles and wires you see along the highway and in front of your house are called the electrical transmission and distribution system. Today, generating stations all across the country are connected to each other through the electrical system (sometimes called the "power grid").
