<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The correct option is:

C. 4.5x10^{3}N

<h2>Why?</h2>

To calculate the force exerted by the pump, we must remember the formula to calculate power, also, we must remember that power means work done in a determined period of time.

We have that power can be calculated by the following equation:

Power(W)=F*V=N.\frac{m}{s}=\frac{N.m}{s}=1Watt

So, we are given the following information:

Power=3.4x10^{2}W=340W=340\frac{N.m}{s}\\\\V=\frac{7.5x^{-2}m }{s}=\frac{0.075m}{s}

Now, substituting and calculating we have:

Power(W)=F*V

340\frac{N.m}{s}=F*\frac{0.075m}{s}

F=\frac{340\frac{N.m}{s}}{\frac{0.075m}{s}}=4,533N=4.5x10^{3}N

Hence, the correct option is:

C. 4.5x10^{3}N

Have a nice day!

Holding onto a tow rope moving parallel to a frictionless ski slope, a 68.7 kg skier is pulled up the slope, which is at an angl
Furkat [3]

Answer:

a) F = 78.606\,N, b) F = 88.911\,N

Explanation:

a) Let consider two equations of equilibrium, the first parallel to ski slope and the second perpendicular to that. The equations are, respectively:

\Sigma F_{x'} = F - m\cdot g \cdot \sin \theta = 0\\\Sigma F_{y'} = N - m\cdot g \cdot \cos \theta = 0

The force on the skier is:

F = m \cdot g \cdot \sin \theta

F = (68.7\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot \sin 6.7^{\textdegree}

F = 78.606\,N

b) The equations of equilibrium are the following:

\Sigma F_{x'} = F - m\cdot g \cdot \sin \theta = m\cdot a\\\Sigma F_{y'} = N - m\cdot g \cdot \cos \theta = 0

The force on the skier is:

F = m\cdot (a + g \cdot \sin \theta)

F = (68.7\,kg)\cdot (0.150\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}+9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}\cdot \sin 6.7^{\textdegree})

F = 88.911\,N

What is the mass of a falling rock if it produces a force of 50 N?
Rasek [7]
××F=m \times a×

50N is your force and the acceleration is -9.8m/s^2 due to gravity. 

So, you just plug that in. 

50 N=m\times-9.8m/s^2\\&#10;\frac{50}{-9.8}=m\\&#10;m=-5.102

BUT you know that mass cannot be negative, so you just disregard the negative sign and the mass of the rock is 5.102 grams.

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

216 m

Explanation:

Assuming a straight line:

Δx = vt

Δx = (12 m/s) (18 s)

Δx = 216 m
