Here is your answer

5 watts

REASON :

Given,

t= 20 secs

F= 20 N

s (displacement)= 5m

Now,

Power= \frac{Work done}{time}

P= W/t ...... (i)

W= F×s×cos(theta)

W= 20×5 × 1 (theta is 0 degree; so cos0= 1)

W= 100 J

Hence,

P= 100/20 (from eq. i)

P= 5 watts

two masses m1 and m2 fall freely with the same height which will hit the ground first ?reason for the answer.​
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

They land at the same time.

Explanation:

Two masses falling through a vacuum (no air resistance or buoyancy forces) will accelerate at the same rate when dropped from the same height.  Therefore, despite having different masses, they land at the same time.

Calculate the percent error of the distanc
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

5.25%

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Accepted value = 238857 miles

Measured value = 226316 miles

Percentage error =.?

Next, we shall determine the absolute error. This can be obtained as follow:

Accepted value = 238857 miles

Measured value = 226316 miles

Absolute Error =?

Absolute Error = |Measured – Accepted|

Absolute Error = |226316 – 238857|

Absolute Error = 12541

Finally, we shall determine the percentage error. This can be obtained as follow:

Accepted value = 238857 miles

Absolute Error = 12541

Percentage error =.?

Percentage error = absolute error / accepted value × 100

Percentage error

= 12541 / 238857 × 100

= 1254100 / 238857

= 5.25%

Therefore, the percentage error is 5.25%.

Find the velocity of a turtle who swims 100 meters toward the shore in 25 seconds
Radda [10]

Answer:

The speed of a turtle is 4m/s

Explanation:

speed = distance/time

distance = 100m

time = 25s

s = 100/25

= 4m/s

Which physical phenomenon is illustrated by the fact that the prism has different refractive indices for different colors
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

The incoming white light is composed of light of different colors,

Since these different colors have different refractive indices they are refracted at different angles from one another.

The output light is then separated by color creating a color spectrum.

Since n is greater for shorter wavelengths  (violet colors) these wavelengths are refracted thru the larger angles.
