Answer: 500 Watts

Explanation:

Power P is the speed with which work W is done. Its unit is Watts (W), being 1 W=\frac{1 Joule}{1 s}.

Power is mathematically expressed as:

P=\frac{W}{t} (1)

Where t is the time during which work W  is performed.

On the other hand, the Work W done by a Force F refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path.  It is a scalar magnitude, and its unit in the International System of Units is the Joule (like energy). Therefore, 1 Joule is the work done by a force of 1 Newton when moving an object, in the direction of the force, along 1 meter (1J=(1N)(1m)=Nm  ).

When the applied force is constant and the direction of the force and the direction of the movement are parallel, the equation to calculate it is:  

W=(F)(d) (2)

In this case, we have the following data:

F=500 N

d=10 m

t=10 s

So, let's calculate the work done by Peter and then find how much power is involved:

From (2):

W=(500 N)(10 m) (3)

W=5000 J (4)

Substituting (4) in (1):

P=\frac{5000 J}{10 s} (5)

Finally:

P=500 W

The lubrication of bone joints is a subject of ongoing medical research. Two bones connected at a joint do not touch. The bones
maks197457 [2]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

To measure the effective coefficient of friction in a bone joint, a healthy joint (and its immediate surroundings) can be removed from a fresh cadaver. The joint is inverted, and a weight is used to apply a downward force F⃗ d on the head of the femur into the hip socket. Then, a horizontal force F⃗ h is applied and increased in magnitude until the femur head rotates clockwise in the socket. The joint is mounted in such a way that F⃗ h will cause clockwise rotation, not straight-line motion to the right. The friction force will point in a direction to oppose this rotation.

Draw vectors indicating the normal force n⃗  (magnitude and direction) and the frictional force f⃗ f (direction only) acting on the femur head at point A.

Assume that the weight of the femur is negligible compared to the applied downward force.

Draw the vectors starting at the black dot. The location, orientation and relative length of the vectors will be graded

Solution :

The normal force represented by N is equal to the downward force, $F_d$ which is equal in magnitude but it is opposite in direction.

Also the frictional force acts always to oppose the motion because the bone starts moving in a clockwise direction. The frictional force that will be applied to the right direction so that the movement or the rotation at A is opposed.

What is the difference between a physical quantity and a unit​
Shalnov [3]

Answer: What is the difference of physical quanity and a unit?

Explanation: If you are working science or math problems, the answer to this question is that quantity is the amount or numerical value, while the unit is the measurement. For example, if a sample contains 453 grams, the quantity is 453 while the unit is grams.

You use 8x binoculars were used on a warbler (14cm long) in a tree 18cm away. What angle (in degrees) does the image of the warb
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

The angle it subtend on the retina is  \theta_z = 0.44586^o    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The length of the warbler is  L = 14cm = \frac{14}{100} = 0.14m

      The distance from the binoculars is    d = 18cm = \frac{18}{100} = 0.18m

        The magnification of the binoculars is  M =8

Without the 8 X binoculars the  angle made with the angular size of the object  is mathematically represented as

          \theta = \frac{L}{d}

        \theta  = \frac{0.14}{0.18}

           = 0.007778 rad

Now magnification can be represented mathematically as

         M = \frac{\theta _z}{\theta}

Where \theta_z is the angle the image of the warbler subtend on your retina when the   binoculars i.e the  binoculars zoom.

So

      \theta_z = M * \theta

=>    \theta_z =8 * 0.007778

            = 0.0622222224

Generally the conversion to degrees can be mathematically evaluated as

             \theta_z = 0.062222224 * (\frac{360 }{2 \pi rad} )

              \theta_z = 0.44586^o
