Answer:

Speed = 2.25 m/s

Explanation:

(Assume a running step is 1.5 m long)

Given the following data;

Energy = 0.6J

Power = 61 Watts

Mass = 68 kg

To find how fast the person running;

First of all, we would determine the total mechanical energy being dissipated by the person.

Total energy = 0.6 * 68

Total energy = 40.8 Joules

Next, we find the time;

Energy = power * time

40.8 = 61 * time

Time = 61/40.8

Time = 1.5 seconds

Finally, to find the speed;

Speed = distance/time

Speed = number of steps * time

Speed = 1.5 * 1.5

Speed = 2.25 m/s

Your high-fidelity amplifier has one output for a speaker of resistance 8 Ω. How can you arrange two 8-Ω speakers, one 4-Ω speak
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

(a) 8Ω (b)  Ratio = Parra/P8 ohm = 1

Explanation:

Solution

Recall that,

An high-fidelity amplifier has one output for a speaker of resistance of = 8 Ω

Now,

(a) How can  two 8-Ω speakers be  arranged, when one =  4-Ω speaker, and one =12-Ω speaker

The Upper arm is : 8 ohm, 8 ohm

The Lower arm is : 12 ohm, 4 ohm

The Requirement is  = (16 x 16)/(16 + 16) = 8 ohm

(b) compare  your arrangement  power output of with the power output of a single 8-Ω speaker

The Ratio = Parra/P8 ohm = 1

Now explore friction force. Set the piece of plastic or wood on the table and push it steadily across the tabletop using your fi
nydimaria [60]

Answer: If there is a higher friction, the opposition force is higher so that it can reduce our speed. So, a factor that affects friction is the roughness or smoothness of the surface of the object. In comparison of the table with the fabric, the fabric will have a more opposition force. As the surface of the fabric is usually rougher than the surface of a smooth table. As there is more friction on a fabric, we will feel more opposition force on our finger tip.

Hope it helped! :>

A monochromatic light passes through a narrow slit and forms a diffraction pattern on a screen behind the slit. As the slit widt
maw [93]

Answer:

shrinks with all the fringes getting narrower

Explanation:

As the light passes through the slit, the diffraction pattern shrinks, as the waves have more opening to penetrate, and the fringes becomes more narrow as a result of that, The opposite happens as the conditions are reversed.

A car moving with an initial speed v collides with a second stationary car that is one-half as massive. After the collision the
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

4v/3

Explanation:

Assume elastic collision by the law of momentum conservation:

m_1v = m_1v_1 + m_2v_2

where v is the original speed of car 1, v1 is the final speed of car 1 and v2 is final speed of car 2. m1 and m2 are masses of car 1 and car 2, respectively

Substitute m_2 = m_1/2 \& v_1 = v/3

m_1v = \frac{m_1v}{3} + \frac{m_1v_2}{2}

Divide both side by m_1, then multiply by 6 we have

6v = 2v + 3v_2

3v_2 = 4v

v_2 = \frac{4v}{3}

So the final speed of the second car is 4/3 of the first car original speed
