Answer:

Because work can be defined as force time distance, we can also use the following equation

Solution

P=power (w or ft-lbf/s)

F=force (N or lbf)

D=distance (m or ft)

T=time (sec)

One horsepower is equivalent to 550 ft-lbf/s and 745.7 watts.

3. If I run 150m in 30 seconds, what speed will I have been running at?

Radda [10]

Answer:

speed = distance/time

Explanation:

speed = 150/30

speed =5m/s

you were running fast .....5m/s is a good speed

A 65.0-kg runner has a speed of 5.20 m/s at one instant dur- ing a long-distance event. (a) What is the runner’s kinetic energy

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

a)KE=878.8 J

b)W=2636.4 J

Explanation:

Given that

mass ,m = 65 kg

Initial speed ,u = 5.2 m/s

We know that kinetic energy KE is given as follows

$KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2$

m=mass

u=velocity

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

$KE=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 65\times 5.2^2\ J$

KE=878.8 J

We know that

Work done by all forces = Change in the kinetic energy

The final velocity , v= 2 u = 2 x 5.2 m/s

v= 10.4 m/s

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2-\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2$

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 65\times 10.4^2-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 65\times 5.2^2\ J$

W=2636.4 J

a)KE=878.8 J

b)W=2636.4 J

A body which has surface area 5cm² and temperature of 727°C radiates 300J of energy in one minute. Calculate it's emissivity giv

cestrela7 [59]

<h2>Answer: 0.17</h2>

Explanation:

The Stefan-Boltzmann law establishes that a black body (an ideal body that absorbs or emits all the radiation that incides on it) "emits thermal radiation with a total hemispheric emissive power proportional to the fourth power of its temperature":

$P=\sigma A T^{4}$ (1)

Where:

$P=300J/min=5J/s=5W$ is the energy radiated by a blackbody radiator per second, per unit area (in Watts). Knowing $1W=\frac{1Joule}{second}=1\frac{J}{s}$

$\sigma=5.6703(10)^{-8}\frac{W}{m^{2} K^{4}}$ is the Stefan-Boltzmann's constant.

$A=5cm^{2}=0.0005m^{2}$ is the Surface area of the body

$T=727\°C=1000.15K$ is the effective temperature of the body (its surface absolute temperature) in Kelvin.

However, there is no ideal black body (ideal radiator) although the radiation of stars like our Sun is quite close. So, in the case of this body, we will use the Stefan-Boltzmann law for real radiator bodies:

$P=\sigma A \epsilon T^{4}$ (2)

Where $\epsilon$ is the body's emissivity

(the value we want to find)

Isolating $\epsilon$ from (2):

$\epsilon=\frac{P}{\sigma A T^{4}}$ (3)

Solving:

$\epsilon=\frac{5W}{(5.6703(10)^{-8}\frac{W}{m^{2} K^{4}})(0.0005m^{2})(1000.15K)^{4}}$ (4)

Finally:

$\epsilon=0.17$ (5) This is the body's emissivity

Now consider a wave which is paired with seven other waves into seven pairs. The two waves in each pairing are identical, except

kupik [55]

The pair BCEG will interfere constructively, while the pair ADF will interfere destructively.

Constructive and destructive interference:

For interference, the waves must be coherent.

Two coherent waves interfere constructively when the path difference is equal to an integral multiple of the wavelength.

That is the path difference must be mλ

where m = 0,1,2,3.... is an integer and λ is the wavelength

So pair BCEG interfere constructively

Two coherent waves interfere destructively when the path difference is equal to a half-integral multiple of the wavelength.

That is the path difference must be (m+1/2)λ

where m = 0,1,2,3.... is an integer and λ is the wavelength

Therefore, the interference is in the pair ADF which is interfere destructively.

[NOTE: THE COMPLETE QUESTION IS:

Now consider a wave which is paired with seven other waves into seven pairs. The two waves in each pairing are identical, except that one of them is shifted relative to the other in the pair by the distance shown: A. -(1/2) ?B. 2?C. -5?D. (3/2)?E. 0F. (17/2)?G. (6/2)?Identify which of the seven pairs will interfere constructively and which will interfere destructively. Each letter represents a pair of waves. Enter the letters of the pairs that correspond to constructive interference in alphabetical order and the letters of the pairs that correspond to pairs that interfere destructively in alphabetical order separated by a comma. For example if pairs A, B and D interfere constructively and pairs C and F interfere destructively enter ABD,CF.]

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

x = 2000 Km

Explanation:

Given

y = 10 km

Slope: 1 : 200

x = ?

We can apply the formula

y / x = 1 / 200 ⇒ x = 200*y = 200*10 Km

⇒ x = 2000 Km
