Explanation:

Remember that power is defined as how much Work is done per unit of time.

P = \frac{dW}{dt}

Work is defined as the amount of force applied across a certain distance.  

W = F*d

Since in both cases of climbing the ladder (on Earth and the moon), Luke coveres the same amount of <em>distance </em>in the same amount of <em>time</em>, we are only left with one difference between the two cases - gravity.

If you were to carry your backpack on the moon with the same load of text books, it would take less force to pick it up on the moon. Therefore, Luke expends less effort on the environment with less gravity - the moon.

To find the difference factor - you would want to divid the gravitational contants between earth and the moon.

Answer:

It takes 6.125 times as much work on Earth as it does on the moon.

Explanation:

Formulas

The power formula is

P = Work / Time

Work = Force * distance

Givens

d = 3.0 meters

t = 5.0 seconds

g = 9.8 m/s^2 on earth

g = 1.8 m/s^2 on the moon

Solution

<u>Earth</u>

Work  = F * d

Work = m* a * 3.0 m

Work = m *9.8 * 3.0

Work = m * 29.4

Power = (Work * 29.4)/5

Power = 29.4/5 * m

Power = 5.88 watts.

<u>Moon</u>

You follow the same procedure except you use 1.6 for a.

Work = m * 1.6 * 3

Work = 4.8*m Joules

Power = 4.8 * m/ 5

Power = 0.96 * m Watts

P_earth/Power_moon = 5.88 * m / 0.96 * m = 6.125

Power =

A 71-kg swimmer dives horizontally off a 500-kg raft. If the diver's speed immediately after leaving the raft is 6m/s, what is t
Sloan [31]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Momentum is used to measure the quantity of motion in an object. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

Momentum = mass * velocity

The principle of conservation of momentum states that momentum cannot be created or destroyed but  can be transferred. Therefore the momentum before and after an action is equal.

Initial momentum = Final momentum

Let m be the mass of the diver, M be the mass of the raft, u be the initial velocity of the diver, U be the initial velocity of the raft, v be the final velocity of the diver and V be the final velocity of the raft.

m = 71 kg, M = 500 kg, v = 6 m/s

Initial both the raft and diver are at rest, hence u and U is zero, hence:

mu + MU = mv + MV

71(0) + 500(0) = 71(6) + 500(V)

0 = 426 + 500(V)

500(V) = -426

V = -426/500

V = -0.852 m/s

Scientists are making plans to put a probe in orbit around Earth. They want the probe to enter the orbit shown below.
iris [78.8K]

An arrow which shows the direction that the probe should be moving in order for it to enter the orbit is X.

<h3>What is an orbit?</h3>

An orbit can be defined as the curved path through which a astronomical (celestial) object such as planet Earth, in space move around a Moon, Sun, planet or star.

In this scenario, if the scientists want the probe to enter the orbit they should ensure that probe moves in direction X. This ultimately implies that, the probe must move in the same direction as the orbit, in order to enter it.

A 3.50 cm tall object is held 24.8 cm from a lens of focal length 16.0 cm. What is the image height?
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

<h2>6.36 cm</h2>

Explanation:

Using the formula to first get the image distance

1/f = 1/u+1/v

f = focal length of the lens

u = object distance

v = image distance

Given f = 16.0 cm, u = 24.8 cm

1/v = 1/16 - 1/24.8

1/v = 0.0625-0.04032

1/v = 0.02218

v = 1/0.02218

v = 45.09 cm

To get the image height, we will us the magnification formula.

Mag = v/u = Hi/H

Hi = image height = ?

H = object height = 3.50 cm

45.09/24.8 = Hi/3.50

Hi = (45.09*3.50)/24.8

Hi = 6.36 cm

The image height is 6.36 cm

A summary of a source is usually
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

A shorter than the original source and in the researcher's words

Explanation:

The summary is an abridged version of the original source and in the researcher's own very words.

Summaries gives an over-arching perspective and excludes implicit details from a given text.

A summary should not be detailed and must avoid overt illustrations. They must capture the true essence of piece leaving out flowery details.

A summary should be lesser in length than the original piece. Any third party reader should immediately be able to grab the details of the original piece from the summary.
