The correct answer to the question is 1900 Joule.

CALCULATION:

As per the question, the velocity of the car v = 20.0 m/s.

The time taken by the car t = 15 seconds.

The initial force applied on the car F = 95 N.

We are asked to calculate the power of the car.

Let the displacement of the car is denoted as S.

Let the power of the car is P.

The power of a car is defined as the word done by the car per unit time.

Hence, the power P = $\frac{W}{t}$

= $\frac{\vec F.\vec S}{t}$

= $\vec F.\frac{S}{t}$

= $\vec F.\vec v$

= $Fvcos\theta$

Here, $\theta$ is the angle between force and velocity.

If $\theta= 0^{0}$ , then P = Fv.

Hence, the power of the car is calculated as -

P = 95 N × 20.0 m/s

= 1900 Joule.

Work done by the force = Force x displacement. Power = work done/time = F.s/t = F.u.t/t = F.u = 95 x 20 = 1900J. {S=ut because acceleration is zero since car is moving at constant velocity}.

Write an essay on basketball history and how the game has changed over time

jarptica [38.1K]

Basket ball has gone through some changes and hence got into shape as what we play or watch nowadays. Overall rules have the same fundamental principles as set in 1891 by the founder of this game.

December 21st, in 1891, the introductory basketball game was played in Springfield, Massachusetts. It was first brought into shape by a Canadian-by birth, Dr. James Naismith. The basic idea of the new game was to keep the sports loving students in shape during the winters or in between the outdoor game seasons.

'The basket ball' which had a set of thirteen basic rules set up a strong foundation to the game and still played almost in the same style with few modifications.In the very year of 1891, after mixing and changing theme of several other played games of those days, basket ball was born.

Initially, basket ball with the 13 rules was played with 2 peach baskets setup as goals, which now a days are the baskets on a high poles although modified but with same basic idea. In the very first game played in Springfield, the set of players were able to score a single point only, in the whole game.

By comparing Naismith’s basketball and basketball of today we see a characteristic of the original game which had no dribbling, instead a player had to pass the ball to a another player of his team ,from his the very spot where he caught it. The second thing which has now changed is the fouls, in the original game if any team made 3 consecutive foul play ,the oponent received a goal in reward. Although this scoring technique doesn't exist in the modern basketball. Rather nowadays, if any team makes five fouls in one quarter, the offending team is in the penalty ,and shoot free throws are awarded against them.

All other rules are quiet intact in the modern play as well. As the game today,has extended to over 2 hundered countries and enjoyed by many on television screens, with modern umpiring and technologies being used in the game, but the original idea of the founder is still endured.

You are designing a 108 cm3 right circular cylindrical can whose manufacture will take waste into account. There is no waste in

FinnZ [79.3K]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The volume of a right circular cylindrical, $V=108\ cm^3$

We know that the volume of the cylinder is given by :

$V=\pi r^2 h$

$108=\pi r^2 h$

$h=\dfrac{108}{\pi r^2}$ ............(1)

The upper area is given by :

$A=32r^2+2\pi rh$

$A=32r^2+2\pi r\times \dfrac{108}{\pi r^2}$

$A=32r^2+\dfrac{216}{r}$

For maximum area, differentiate above equation wrt r such that, we get :

$\dfrac{dA}{dr}=64r-\dfrac{216}{r^2}$

$64r-\dfrac{216}{r^2}=0$

$r^3=\dfrac{216}{64}$

r = 1.83 m

Dividing equation (1) with r such that,

$\dfrac{h}{r}=\dfrac{108}{\pi r}$

$\dfrac{h}{r}=\dfrac{108}{\pi 1.83}$

$\dfrac{h}{r}=59 \pi$

Hence, this is the required solution.
