Answer:

Power = 2.45Kw or 2450 Watts.

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass, m = 250kg

Height, h = 2m

Time, t = 2secs

We know that acceleration due to gravity, g is equal to 9.8m/s²

Power can be defined as the energy required to do work per unit time.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

$Power = \frac {Energy}{time}$

But Energy = mgh

Substituting into the equation, we have

$Power = \frac {mgh}{time}$

$Power = \frac {250*9.8*2}{2}$

$Power = \frac {4900}{2}$

Power = 2450 Watts

To convert to kilowatt (Kw), we would divide by 1000

Power = 2450/1000

Power = 2.45Kw.

Therefore, the average power output of the weightlifter is 2.45 Kilowatts.

What is the acceleration experienced by a car that takes 10s to reach 27m/s from rest

Lerok [7]

|acceleration| = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in the car's speed = (27 - 0) = 27 m/s
Time for the change = 10 sec

|acceleration| = (27 m/s) / (10 s) = 2.7 m/s² .

That's the magnitude of the car's acceleration.
We don't know anything about its direction.

Cheetah mothers perform a number of different behaviors. They and their cubs stay in one place for only four days, moving on bef

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Cheetah cubs are in danger from predators like lions and hyenas which can track their prey by scent and so the mother and her cubs leave an area when their scent is too strong so that they are not hunted and the cubs survive.

Mother Cheetahs also train their cubs to hunt so that they may get food for themselves which will ensure their survival as well thus showing that both of these practices can impact on reproductive success.

yarga [219]

Hello! The nontoxic, nonflammable chemicals containing atoms of carbon, chlorine, and fluorine that have created a hole in the ozone layer are the Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)

These are compounds developed and improved by Thomas Midgley in the late 1920s. They were used as refrigerants and aerosol propellants.

These compounds created a hole in the ozone layer by the following reactions:

CCl₃F → CCl₂F· + Cl· (In the presence of light. Radical Reaction)
Cl· + O₃ → ClO + O₂
ClO + O₃ → Cl· + O₂

The last 2 reactions can repeat in a radical mechanism and explain why these compounds are so harmful to the ozone layer.

Answer: $\theta=cos^{-1}0.991=7.69^o$

The following vectors have been given: $\vec{a}=3.0\widehat{i}+3.0\widehat{j}+3.0\widehat{k}\\ \vec{b}=5.0\widehat{i}+7.0\widehat{j}+6.0\widehat{k}$

The angle between these two vectors can be found by:

$cos\theta=\frac{\vec{a}.\vec{b}}{||\vec{a}|| ||\vec{b}||}\\
||\vec{a}=\sqrt{a_x^2+a_y^2+a_z^2}$

$\vec{a}.\vec{b}=a_xb_x+a_yb_y+a_zb_z\\ \vec{a}.\vec{b}=3\times5+3\times7+3\times6=15+21+18=54$

$||\vec{a}||=\sqrt{3^2+3^2+3^2}=\sqrt{27}\\ ||\vec{b}||=\sqrt{5^2+7^2+6^2}=\sqrt{110}$

$cos\theta=\frac{54}{\sqrt{27}\times\sqrt{110}}\\=0.991\\ \Rightarrow \theta=cos^{-1}0.991=7.69^o$
