Answer:

The power required per rider is 742.5 W

Explanation:

Given;

force to be overcome, F = 165 Newtons

speed to be maintained, v = 9.00 m/s

Power = force x velocity

Power = 165 N x 9 m/s

Power = 1485 W

Power required per rider, assuming that each contributes equally;

Power per rider = ¹/₂ x 1485 W

Power per rider = 742.5 W

Therefore, the power required per rider, assuming that each contributes equally is 742.5 W

Answer:

742.5 W

Explanation:

Power: This can be defined as the product of the force of a body and it's velocity. The S.I unit of power is Watt (W).

The total power required is given as

Pt = F×V.................... Equation 1

Where Pt = Total power, F = Force, V = Velocity.

Given: F = 165 N, V = 9.0 m/s.

substitute into equation 1

Pt = 165×9

Pt = 1485 W

The power required per rider assuming that each contributes equally

P = Pt/2

P = 1485/2

P = 742.5 W

Hence the power required per rider = 742.5 W

leva [86]

Answer:

Charge

Explanation:

Charge is a fundamental property of all matter. All matter has electrical and magnetic properties because the atoms that make up matter are held together by electromagnetic forces.

These charges are usually positive and negative charges. When these charges which make up an atom (positive and negative) are equal, the atom is said to be electrically neutral. When positive charge is greater than negative charge, the atom is said to positively charged. Also, if the number of negative charges are more in an atom, the atom is said to be negatively charged.

When a wave has λ=3 m and f=15 Hz, what is the speed of the wave?
Tamiku [17]

Wave speed = (wavelength) x (frequency)

Wave speed = (3 m) x (15 Hz)

<em>Wave speed = 45 m/s</em>
