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.

An ambulance with a siren emitting a whine at 1790 Hz overtakes and passes a cyclist pedaling a bike at 2.36 m/s. After being pa
Deffense [45]

Answer:

The speed of the ambulance is 4.30 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Frequency of the ambulance, f = 1790 Hz

Frequency at the cyclist, f' = 1780 Hz

Speed of the cyclist, v₀ = 2.36 m/s

let the velocity of the ambulance be 'vₓ'

Now,

the Doppler effect is given as:

f'=f\frac{v\pm v_o}{v\pm v_x}

where, v is the speed of sound

since the ambulance is moving towards the cyclist. thus, the sign will be positive

thus,

v_x=\frac{f}{f'}(v+v_o)-v

on substituting the values, we get

v_x=\frac{1790}{1780}(343+2.36)-343

or

vₓ = 4.30 m/s

Hence, <u>the speed of the ambulance is 4.30 m/s</u>

An object moving north with an initial velocity of 14 m/s accelerates 5 m/s^2 for 20 seconds.what is the final velocity of the o
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Option C = 114 m/s

Explanation:

a=v-u/t

By substituting,

5=v-14/20

100=v-14

Thus, v=100+14

v= 114 m/s

Hope it helps :)

1st Law: Objects that are in motion tend to stay in motion. This motion can change with external forces. 

<span>If you were to stop pedaling on bike while in motion, you will notice that you will keep moving. This is because a moving body (you) has inertia. If there wasn't any friction between the tires and the ground, between the axles and wheel, any air resistance, or any other force that acts against you, then you could be coasting indefinitely! </span>

<span>2nd Law: Force is equal to the mass times acceleration. </span>

<span>When you pedal, you are applying a force onto the pedal. This force is then translated through tension to apply torque onto the wheel. Turning the wheel will make you accelerate in the lateral direction. </span>

<span>3rd Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. </span>

<span>Without this, you could pedal and pedal, but you will be not go anywhere! It is essentially the friction between the tires and the ground that propels you forward. If the ground did not apply to the tire the same amount of force that the tire was applying to the ground, the tire would not "catch" and no friction would be applied. And if there was no third law, the weight of you and your bike would "sink" into the ground because the ground would not be applying a normal force back onto you.

hope this helps and if you have any questions just hmu and ask :)</span>
