Answer:

P=9.58 W

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law, and assuming friction force as zero:

F_m=m.a\\F_m=0.875kg*a

The acceleration is given by:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{t}\\a=\frac{0.685m/s}{21.5*10^{-3}s}\\\\a=31.9m/s^2

So the force exerted  by the motor is:

F_m=0.875kg*31.9m/s^2\\F_m=27.9N

The work done by the motor is given by:

W_m=F_m*d\\\\d=\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2\\d=\frac{1}{2}*31.9m/s^2*(21.5*10^{-3}s)^2\\\\d=7.37*10^{-3}m

W_m=27.9N*7.37*10^{-3}m\\W_m=0.206J

And finally, the power is given by:

P=\frac{W_m}{t}\\P=\frac{0.206J}{21.5*10^{-3}s}\\\\P=9.58W

A parcel of land is in the shape of an isosceles triangle. The base has a length of 425 ft.; the other sides, which are of equal
kogti [31]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 636.6 ft    

Explanation:

Data

base = 425 ft

angle = 39°

See the picture below

1.- Divide the triangle to get two right triangles.

    Now the superior angle will measure 19.5° and the opposite side will measure 212.5 ft

2.- Use the trigonometric function sine to find the hypotenuse

     sin 19.5 = 212.5/hyp

solve for hyp

    hyp = 212.5 / sin 19.5

Result

    hyp = 212.5/ 0.333

    hyp = 636.6 ft
