Answer:
answer is friction. MCQ A is answer
The answer is D. Current.
Answer:
Power=720[watt]
Explanation:
We need to remember the definition of mechanical work which is equal to the product of the force applied by the distance traveled.
In this problem, we have to find the power which is defined as the work divided into the time in which such work is performed. This way if we have the displacement and the time, this will be the speed with which this work is done.
![Power= W/T\\T=time [s]\\W=work [J]\\Power = F*V\\where\\V=velocity [m/s]\\Power=1800 * 0.4 = 720 [watt]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Power%3D%20W%2FT%5C%5CT%3Dtime%20%5Bs%5D%5C%5CW%3Dwork%20%5BJ%5D%5C%5CPower%20%3D%20F%2AV%5C%5Cwhere%5C%5CV%3Dvelocity%20%5Bm%2Fs%5D%5C%5CPower%3D1800%20%2A%200.4%20%3D%20720%20%5Bwatt%5D)
Ah hah ! There's an easy way and a hard way to do this one.
If it's OK with you, I'm gonna do it the easy way, and not even
talk about the hard way !
First, let's look at a few things in this question.
-- "gravitational force between a planet and a mass"
This is just a complicated way to say "How much does the mass weigh ?"
That's what we have to find.
-- If we know the mass, how do we find the weight ?
Multiply the mass by the acceleration of gravity there.
Weight = (mass) x (gravity) .
-- Do we know the acceleration of gravity on this dark mysterious planet ?
We do if we read the second line of the question !
It's right there ... 8.8 m/s² .
-- We know the mass. We know gravity. And we know that
if you multiply them, you get the weight (forced of gravity).
I'm pretty sure that you can do the rest of the solution now.
weight = (mass) x (gravity)
Weight = (17 kg) x (8.8 m/s²)
Multiply them:
Weight = 149.6 kg-m/s²
That complicated-looking unit is the definition of a Newton !
So the weight is 149.6 Newtons. That's the answer. It's choice-A.
It's about 33.6 pounds.
When this mass is on the Earth, it weighs about 37.5 pounds.
But when it's on this planet, it only weighs about 33.6 pounds.
That's because gravity is less on this planet. (8.8 there, 9.8 on Earth)
