The speed of light is approximately 3.00 x 10^8 m/s. Then the next step is to convert m/s into km/s.To determine the time, the distance must be divided with velocity. It will take the light signal 3.3*10^-6 seconds to reach his assistant.

It takes 23 seconds to hoist a rescue diver of mass 80 kg from the ocean surface to a helicopter hovering 23.9 meters above the
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

840 W

Explanation:

The energy expended in hoisting the diver up is given by

E = mgh

<em>m</em> is the mass of the diver, <em>g </em>is the acceleration due to gravity and <em>h</em> is the height.

Using the values in the question and taking <em>g</em> as 9.8 m/s²,

E = (80\text{ kg})\times (9.8\text{ m/s}^2)\times (23.9\text{ m}) = 18737.6\text{ J}

The power is given by

P = \dfrac{E}{t}

<em>t</em> is the time.

Hence,

P = \dfrac{18737.6\text{ J}}{23\text{ s}} = 841.678\ldots \text{ W}\approx 840\text{ W}
