Answer:

1298.5watt

Explanation:

Power is defined as the rate at which work is done

Expressed mathematically as;

P = F × d/ t; F = force or weight of object ;d is height or distance sustain and t is time covered

Hence for 1 person the power consumption is ;

Note weight =mass× acceleration of free fall due to gravity,g

g is known as 9.8m/S2

Time taken is 1min which is 60 sec

60 ×9.8 × 5.3/60 = 51.94 watt

Hence for 25 persons we have

25 × 51.94 =1298.5watt

1.3kilo watt( kilo is 1000)

The radial acceleration is $a_c = 0.9574 m/s^2$

b

The horizontal Tension is $T_x = 0.3294 i \ N$

The vertical Tension is $T_y =3.3712 j \ N$

Explanation:

The diagram illustrating this is shown on the first uploaded

From the question we are told that

The length of the string is $L = 10.7 \ cm = 0.107 \ m$

The mass of the bob is $m = 0.344 \ kg$

The angle made by the string is $\theta = 5.58^o$

The centripetal force acting on the bob is mathematically represented as

$F = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

Now From the diagram we see that this force is equivalent to

$F = Tsin \theta$ where T is the tension on the rope and v is the linear velocity

So

$Tsin \theta = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

Now the downward normal force acting on the bob is mathematically represented as

$Tcos \theta = mg$

So

$\frac{Tsin \ttheta }{Tcos \theta } = \frac{\frac{mv^2}{r} }{mg}$

=> $tan \theta = \frac{v^2}{rg}$

=> $g tan \theta = \frac{v^2}{r}$

The centripetal acceleration which the same as the radial acceleration of the bob is mathematically represented as

$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}$

=> $a_c = gtan \theta$

substituting values

$a_c = 9.8 * tan (5.58)$

$a_c = 0.9574 m/s^2$

The horizontal component is mathematically represented as

$T_x = Tsin \theta = ma_c$

substituting value

$T_x = 0.344 * 0.9574$

$T_x = 0.3294 \ N$

The vertical component of tension is

$T_y = T \ cos \theta = mg$

substituting value

$T_ y = 0.344 * 9.8$

$T_ y = 3.2712 \ N$

The vector representation of the T in term is of the tension on the horizontal and the tension on the vertical is

$T = T_x i + T_y j$

substituting value

$T = [(0.3294) i + (3.3712)j ] \ N$

None of these make sense someone help

vfiekz [6]

I would say B because the rest of them are false.

Because Saturn is made of gas

Saturn is smaller than Jupiter

And it takes 29 years for Saturn to orbit the sun
