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

How does the momentum of a fast object compare to that of a slow object if they both have the same mass?
Varvara68 [4.7K]
The momentum of a fast object compared to that of a slow object even if they both have the same mass, is their velocities.

Having same mass but different velocities results in different momentum.

Example: mass = 10kg
Velocity 1 = 50 Velocity 2 = 100
Momentum 1 = 10×50 = 500 Ns
Momentum 2 = 10×100 = 1000 Ns

Hope it helped!

Two power lines run parallel for a distance of 220 m and are separated by a distance of 40.0 cm. If the current in each of the t
daser333 [38]

Answer:

The magnitude of force is 1.86 N and the direction of force is towards the other wire.

Explanation:

Given:

Current flowing through each power line, I = 130 A

Distance between the two power lines, d = 40 cm = 0.4 m

Length of power lines, L = 220 m

The force exerted by the power lines on each other is given by the relation:

F = \frac{\mu_{0}LII }{2\pi d}

Substitute the suitable values in the above equation.

F = \frac{4\pi\times10^{-7}\times220\times130\times130 }{2\pi\times0.4}

F = 1.86 N

Since the direction of current flowing through the power lines are opposite to each other, so the force is attractive in nature. Hence, the direction of force experienced by the power lines on each other is towards the each other.

A stationary shell is exploded in to three fragments A, B, C of masses in the ratio 1:2:3. A travels
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

20 m/s

Explanation:

If the mass of fragment A is m, then the mass of fragment B is 2m, and the mass of fragment C is 3m.

The velocity of A is 60 m/s at angle 0°.

The velocity of B is 30 m/s at angle 120°.

The velocity of C is v at angle θ.

In the x direction:

Momentum before = momentum after

(m + 2m + 3m) (0) = m (60 cos 0°) + 2m (30 cos 120°) + 3m (v cos θ)

0 = 60m − 30m + 3m v cos θ

0 = 30m + 3m v cos θ

-30m = 3m v cos θ

-10 = v cos θ

In the y direction:

Momentum before = momentum after

(m + 2m + 3m) (0) = m (60 sin 0°) + 2m (30 sin 120°) + 3m (v sin θ)

0 = 0 + 30√3 m + 3m v sin θ

-30√3m = 3m v sin θ

-10√3 = v sin θ

Square the two equations and add together:

(-10)² + (-10√3)² = (v cos θ)² + (v sin θ)²

100 + 300 = v² cos² θ + v² sin² θ

400 = v² (cos² θ + sin² θ)

400 = v²

v = 20

The speed of fragment C is 20 m/s.
