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.

Answer:

I think so because if it starts at a low temperature for that material, it should melt when you bring it up to that temperature.

Dacia wants to know how to determine the polar coordinate θ. What should Katarina tell Dacia?

crimeas [40]

Answer:

r = √ x² + y² and θ = tan⁻¹ y / x

Explanation:

The polar coordinates are obtained by transforming the Cartesian coordinates (x y) into others (r tés), for this we use to find r the Pythagorean theorem

r = √ x² + y²

To find teas we use trigonometries

tan θ = y / x

θ = tan⁻¹ y / x

In general the angle can be given in any unit, but the most used in physics is in radians

Katarina [22]

Answer:v=41.23 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of heavy object $m_1=52 kg$

distance of $m_1$ from the axle $r_1=14 cm$

mass of rock $m_2=123 gm$

Length of rod $=4.1 m$

distance of $m_2$ from axle $r_2=4.1-0.14=3.96 m$

Net torque acting is

$T_{net}=m_1gr_1-m_2gr_2$

$T_{net}=52\times 0.14\times g-0.123\times 3.96\times g$

$T_{net}=6.793\times 9.8$

$T_{net}=66.57 N-m$

Work done by $T_{net}$ is converted to rock kinetic Energy

thus

$T_{net}\times \theta =\frac{mv^2}{2}$

Where $\theta =angle\ turned =\frac{\pi }{2}$

$v= velocity\ at\ launch$

$66.57\times \frac{\pi }{2}=\frac{0.123\times v^2}{2}$

$v^2=66.57\times \pi$

$v=\sqrt{1700.511}$

$v=41.23 m/s$

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

ΔS=2*m*Cp*ln((T1+T2)/(2*(T1*T2)^1/2))

Explanation:

The concepts and formulas that I will use to solve this exercise are the integration and the change in the entropy of the universe. To calculate the final temperature of the water the expression for the equilibrium temperature will be used. Similarly, to find the change in entropy from cold to hot water, the equation of the change of entropy will be used. In the attached image is detailed the step by step of the resolution.
