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 =

Things you can do with an environmental engineering major and a broadcasting minor?
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

With an  Environmental  Engineering  and a broadcasting minor

You can work as an On Air  personality that host  programs that provide your audience with  documentaries about the environments and project carried out by Environmental Engineer

and also you can work as a journalist that explore the world making research that will preserve the environment  and leveraging the media as a broadcaster to provide this research findings as a video for you audience  

Explanation:

In order to get a better understanding let define some terms

Environmental Engineer :

Environmental engineers resolve and help prevent environmental problems. They work in many areas, including air pollution control, industrial hygiene, toxic materials control, and land management. The duties of an environmental engineer range from planning and designing an effective waste treatment plant to studying the effects of acid rain on a particular area. An environmental engineer is sometimes required to work outdoors, though most of her work is done in a laboratory or office setting. Career opportunities for environmental engineers exist in consulting, research, corporate, and government positions.

Broadcasting:

Broadcasting is the distribution of audio or video content to a dispersed audience via any electronic mass communications medium, but typically one using the electromagnetic spectrum (radio waves), in a one-to-many model.

Using the rules for significant figures, what do you get when you add 24.545 and 307.3?
lions [1.4K]
When you add 24.545+307.3= 331.845

You will go with the number with the smallest number, which is 307.3.

So answer will be 331.8
