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.

What type of circuit is illustrated?
Elis [28]
A. Parallel circuit

Short circuits are circuits that is like plugging in a USB into your computer and the other end to your iPhone, so it's not D.

Series circuits can come in all kinds of different shapes, so it's not C.

Open circuits are circuits that are opened, meaning that whenever you turn on the light and it's an open circuit, it won't work cause the two wires are not connected, meaning it's not D.

Parallel circuits are circuits that are in one straight line, just like parallel lines, meaning the answer would be A. (Look at the picture and don't get confused with the other question that's the same question and has the same answers, they both have different pictures, so look at the pictures they give you whenever they ask the question so your getting the right answer)

Hope this helped.

When a flat slab of transparent material is placed under water, the critical angle for light traveling from the slab into water
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

(a) 40.6 degree

Explanation:

When refraction takes place from slab to water, the critical angle is 60 degree.

Use Snell's law

refractive index of water with respect to slab

\mu _{w}^{s}=\frac{Sin60}{Sin90}

\frac{\mu _{w}}{\mu _{s}}=0.866

\frac{1.33}{\mu _{s}}=0.866

μs = 1.536

Now for slab air interface, the critical angle is C.

\mu _{a}^{s}=\frac{SinC}{Sin90}

\frac{\mu _{a}}{\mu _{s}}=\frac{SinC}{Sin90}

1 / 1.536 = Sin C

C = 40.6 degree

Suppose the farthest distance a person can see without visual aid is 53 cm.
natita [175]

Answer: a. 53cm b. Diverging c. 0.02dioptres

Explanation:

Since the person in question cannot see far object clearly, it shows that the individual is suffering from myopia (short sightedness).

If the object distance (u) is 53cm. for the person to be able to see far way, it means the image must be at infinity. This shows image distance v is infinity. Using the lens formula

1/f = 1/u+1/v

1/f = 1/53 + 1/Infinity

1/f = 1/53 + 0

f=53cm

b) The lens used is concave lens (diverging lens) to diverge all rays outwards

c) Power of a lens P will be 1/53.

P = 0.02dioptres

Which element of art creates edges of shapes and visual cues for the viewer in terms of both motion and space?
mr Goodwill [35]
The element of art that creates edges of shapes and visual cues for the viewer in terms of both motion and space is line. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "c". The lines have the ability to create a sense of motion when drawn in spaces.
