You skipped over a number in the question, and you didn't tell me what my average speed is. Lucky for you, my average speed has NO EFFECT on the answer to the question.
When you calculate velocity, you only use the straight-line distance between the start-point and the end-point. It doesn't matter what route the thing took to get there, or how much ground it actually covered.
If I travel in a circle and stop at the same point I started from, then the size of the circle doesn't matter, and neither does my speed. The distance between my start-point and my end-point is zero, and my average velocity is zero.
250/4= 62.5 mph
to find the mph of a car, you need to divide the number of miles traveled by the hours that it took to travel that many miles
We can use kinematics here if we assume a constant acceleration (not realistic, but they want a single value answer, so it's implied). We know final velocity, vf, is 1.0 m/s, and we cover a distance, d, of 0.47mm or 0.00047 m (1m = 1000mm for conversion). We also can assume that the flea's initial velocity, vi, is 0 at the beginning of its jump. Using the equation vf^2 = vi^2 + 2ad, we can solve for our acceleration, a. Like so: a = (vf^2 - vi^2)/2d = (1.0^2 - 0^2)/(2*0.00047) = 1,064 m/s^2, not bad for a flea!
From our studies of the work of Professor Newton,
we have learned that
F = M a .
That is, the product of an object's mass and its acceleration
is equal to the net force acting on it.
An object in equilibrium is an object that has no acceleration.
In other words, it may be moving in a straight line at a speed
that does not change, or it may be just lying there before us.
In either case, since the object has no acceleration, we glance
at Newton's formula, and we instantly realize that the net force
on the object must be ZERO.
The object behaves just as if there were NO forces acting on it at all.
Answer:
P=4801.5
Explanation:
Given :
work done = W = 100,832 J
time = 21.0 sec
Find:
P = ?
Formula:
P = W/t
Solution:
P = W/t
P = 100,832/21.0
= 4801.52 J/s or Watts
