Answer:

Sam is providing the biggest power i.e. 50 W

Explanation:

Sam is moving house and is carrying a 300N box of books up a flight of steps 5m high, it takes her 30 seconds.

Sam's power :

P_1=\dfrac{W_1}{t_1}\\\\P_1=\dfrac{F_1d}{t_1}\\\\P_1=\dfrac{300\times 5}{30}\\\\P_1=50\ W

Gary follows her carrying a bag of clothes doing 1000 J of work; it only takes him 25 seconds.

Gary's power :

P_2=\dfrac{W_2}{t_2}\\\\P_2=\dfrac{1000}{25}\\\\P_2=40\ W

So, it is clear that Sam is providing the biggest power.

The formula v = √2.5r models the maximum safe speed, v, in miles per hour, at which a car can travel on a curved road with radiu
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

The maximum safe speed of the car is 30.82 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

The formula that models the maximum safe speed, v, in miles per hour, at which a car can travel on a curved road with radius of curvature r r, is in feet is given by :

v=\sqrt{2.5\ r}.........(1)

A highway crew measures the radius of curvature at an exit ramp on a highway as 380 feet, r = 380 feet

Put the value of r in equation (1) as :

v=\sqrt{2.5\ \times 380}

v = 30.82 m/s

So, the maximum safe speed of the car is 30.82 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

An alpha particle (a helium nucleus, consisting of two protons and two neutrons) has a radius of approximately 1.6 × 10-15 m. A
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

9.96x10^-20 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Momentum p is the product of mass and velocity, i.e

P = mv

Alpha particles, like helium nuclei, have a net spin of zero. Due to the mechanism of their production in standard alpha radioactive decay, alpha particles generally have a kinetic energy of about 5 MeV, and a velocity in the vicinity of 5% the speed of light.

From this we calculate the speed as

v = 5% 0f 3x10^8 m/s (speed of light)

v = 1.5x10^7 m/s

The mass of an alpha particle is approximately 6.64×10−27 kg

Therefore,

P = 1.5x10^7 x 6.64×10^−27

P = 9.96x10^-20 kg-m/s

Would it be true that if you double the distance of an astronaut from a planet, the gravitational pull between them would be hal
velikii [3]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Newton's law of universal gravitation is usually stated that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses(m1 and m2) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers(r).

F = Gm1m2/r²

This is a general physical law derived from

empirical observations by what Isaac Newton called inductive reasoning.

when distance is doubled the gravitational force will be reduced by quarter not half.

A projectile is launched with an initial velocity of (40 m/s), at an angle of (30°) above
zlopas [31]

Answer:

330.5  m

Explanation:

In this case, the object is launched horizontally at 30° with an initial velocity of 40 m/s .

The maximum height will be calculated as;

h=\frac{v^2_isin^2\alpha }{2g}

where ∝ is the angle of launch = 30°

vi= initial launch velocity = 40 m/s

g= 10 m/s²

h= 40²*sin²40° / 2*10

h={1600*0.4132 }/ 20

h= 661.1/2 = 330.5  m

A minimum temperature thermometer in a standard weather instrument shelter measures an overnight low temperature of 36 degrees F
Rudiy27

Answer:

Explanation:

Even though the minimum temperature is more than the freezing point, Frost was observed on the ground because the ground will cool rapidly as cool air tends to move towards the ground, the temperature of the ground is lower than the atmosphere a few feet above it.

As the thermometer is kept some feet above the ground so ground temperature may be lower than the minimum recorded temperature.
