Rate of work done against water resistant? Can someone explain why its 3.0W? Thanks.

You understand the concepts all perfectly fine, just have applied them slightly incorrectly.
Firstly, the speed time graph is actually a triangle since the question says a steady acceleration from rest - i.e. it started at 0 and worked up to 2ms-1 in the space of that 10 seconds. The area under the graph is the distance, and a triangle area is found with bh/2, and in this case that is 10*2/2 = 10m - so the boat travelled 10 metres.

Work done as you correctly stated is fd - giving the part against water resistance as 3*10 = 30J
However, you forgot to do the last part - the key words are rate of work - this means Power. Power is Energy/Time, and this whole process occurred over 10 seconds. So whilst 30J of energy were expended due to the water resistance, this didn't all occur in no time. So we need to divide that by 10 to get the power. And 30/10 is 3J/s - and J/s is the same as W.

A rock from Mars experiences a 263% increase in its weight once it arrives on Earth. What accounts for this increase in weight?
leva [86]
The mass of Mars is smaller than that the mass of Earth, therefore the acceleration of gravity on Mars is much less than that the acceleration of gravity of the Earth.

 The weight of an object is directly proportional to the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration of the planet where it is.

 In this case, the gravitational acceleration in Mars is 3.711 m/s² and that of the planet Earth is 9.807 m/s².

 The acceleration of gravity on Earth is 2.63 times greater than that the acceleration of gravity on Mars. This explains that the same object weighs 263% more on earth

The release of energy by the nucleus of an atom as a result of nuclear fission is radian energy
Eddi Din [679]
Nuclear energy comes from the binding energy that is stored in the centre of an atom and holds it together. To release the energy, the atom has to be split into smaller atoms. This process is called fission. Answer is: false. Correct answer is nuclear energy.

A mass of 0.4 kg hangs motionless from a vertical spring whose length is 0.95 m and whose unstretched length is 0.65 m. Next the
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

spring constant of spring = mg / x

= .4 x 9.8 / ( .95 - .65 )

=13.07 N / m

energy stored in spring = 1/2 k x²

= .5 x 13.07 x ( 1.2 - .65 )²

= 1.976 J

Let it goes x m beyond its equilibrium position

Total energy at initial point

= 1.976 + 1/2 m v²

= 1.976 + .5 x .4 x 1.6²

= 2.488 J

energy at final point

= mgh + 1/2 k x²

.4 x 9.8 x  ( .55 + x ) + .5 x 13.07 x² = 2.488

6.535 x² + 2.156 + 3.92 x = 2.488

6.535 x² + 3.92 x - .332 = 0

x = .075 m

Find the volume of cuboid of side 4cm. Convert it in SI form​
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

0.000064 cubic meters.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Length of side = 4 centimeters

Conversion:

100 centimeters = 1 meters

4 cm = 4/100 = 0.04 meters

To find the volume of cuboid;

Mathematically, the volume of a cuboid is given by the formula;

Volume of cuboid = length * width * height

However, when all the sides are equal the formula is;

Volume of cuboid = L³

Volume of cuboid = 0.04³

Volume of cuboid = 0.000064 cubic meters.

Parallaxes of stars are sometimes measured relative to the positions of galaxies or distant objects called quasars. Why is this
Elenna [48]

Answer:

quasars are massive celestrial bodies that are far or remotely placed emitting large energy radiations.

parallax is the best way of determining distances between astronomical bodies and parallaxes of stars are measured relative to a quasar to minimise the measurement error. each observations is stimulated with the basic angle variations leading to minimum uncertainty in the results as the assumptions in the measurements are as minimal as possible.
