Power P is the amount of energy E transferred or converted per unit time t, and is expression is:

P = E/t

The necessary energy to lift the box its the work of against the Gravity Force, and is given by:

E = mgh

Then the power is:

P = E/t

P = mgh/t

P = (45 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(1.7 m )/ 30

P = 24.99 W

The colour of star depend on its temperature, why?

taurus [48]

<em>Another key factor that determines a star's colour is its temperature. As stars become hotter, the overall radiated energy increases, and the peak of the curve changes to shorter wavelengths. To put it another way, when a star heats up, the light it produces moves toward the blue end of the spectrum.</em>

What is the smallest radius of an unbanked (flat) track around which a bicyclist can travel if her speed is 22 km/h and the coef

Aleks [24]

First, let's put 22 km/h in m/s:

$22 \frac{km}{h} \times \frac{1000m}{1km} \times \frac{1h}{3600s}=6.11 \frac{m}{s}$

Now the radial force required to keep an object of mass m, moving in circular motion around a radius R, is given by

$F_{rad}=m \frac{v^2}{R}$

The force of friction is given by the normal force (here, just the weight, mg) times the static coefficient of friction:

$F_{fric}= mg \mu_{s}$

Notice we don't use the kinetic coefficient even though the bike is moving. This is because when the tires meet the road they are momentarily stationary with the road surface. Otherwise the bike is skidding.

Now set these equal, since friction is the only thing providing the ability to accelerate (turn) without skidding off the road in a line tangent to the curve:

$m\frac{v^2}{R} = mg \mu_{s} \\ \\ \frac{v^2}{R} = g \mu_{s} \\ \\R= \frac{v^2}{g \mu_{s}} \\ \\ R= \frac{6.11}{9.8 \times 0.37}=1.685m$
