Answer:

2.5 Watts.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) = 260 Kg

Time (t) = 1 h

Height (g) = 3.5 m

Power (P) =.?

Next, we shall determine the energy. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 260 Kg

Height (g) = 3.5 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Energy (E) =?

E = mgh

E = 260 × 10 × 3.5

E = 9100 J

Finally, we shall determine the power. This can be obtained as follow:

Time (t) = 1 h = 3600 s

Energy (E) = 9100 J

Power (P) =.?

P = E/t

P = 9100 / 3600

P = 2.5 Watts

Thus, the power is 2.5 Watts.

Four uniform spheres, with masses mA = 200 kg, mB = 250 kg, mC = 1700 kg, and mD = 100 kg, have (x, y) coordinates of (0, 50 cm)

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

$F_2=2.43\times10^{-19}\ N$

$\theta=21.496^{\circ}$ in the anticlockwise direction from the positive x- axis.

Explanation:

Given are the masses of various spheres with their names in subscript:

$m_A=200\ kg$

$m_B=250\ kg$

$m_C=1700\ kg$

$m_D=100\ kg$

Now their respective coordinate positions (in cm) are as given below:

$P_A=(0,50)$

$P_B=(0,0)$

$P_C=(-80,0)$

$P_D=(40,0)$

<u>Now force on B due to A:</u>

$F_{BA}=G\times \frac{200\times 250}{50^2}$

$F_{BA}=20G\ N$

<u>Now force on B due to C:</u>

$F_{BC}=G\times \frac{1700\times 250}{80^2}$

$F_{BC}=66.406G\ N$

<u>Now force on B due to D:</u>

$F_{BD}=G\times \frac{100\times 250}{40^2}$

$F_{BD}=15.625G\ N$

<em>We observe that the forces due to masses C&D act opposite in direction.</em>

<u>So, the net force in the x-direction:</u>

$F_x=F_{BC}-F_{BD}$

$F_x=66.406G-15.625G$

$F_x=50.781G\ N$ in the positive x-direction

<em>We have only one force in y-direction due to mass A.</em>

So,

$F_y=20G\ N$ in the positive y-direction.

<u>Now the net force:</u>

$F_2=\sqrt{F_y^2+F_x^2}$

$F_2=\sqrt{(20G)^2+(50.781G)^2}$

$F_2=54.5776G^2\ N$

$F_2=2.43\times10^{-19}\ N$

<u>Now the direction of this force with respect to x-axis:</u>

$tan\ \theta=\frac{F_y}{F_x}$

$tan\ \theta=\frac{20G}{50.781G}$

$\theta=21.496^{\circ}$ in the anticlockwise direction from the positive x- axis.

Only some shortwave radiation from the Sun reaches Earth’s surface. What is the leading cause of this radiation loss? Only some

anastassius [24]

Answer: Reflection by clouds

Explanation:

Only some shortwave radiation from the sun reaches the Earth's surface because solar radiation is being reflected by thick clouds and thin clouds transmit the solar radiation.

About 31 % of solar radiation is reflected by clouds. The tiny water particle scatters 20-90 % of incoming sunlight giving them a bright white appearance.

A truck covers 40.0 m in 7.45 s while uniformly slowing down to a final velocity of 3.50 m/s.

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

(A) Original velocity will be 7.244 m /sec

(B) Acceleration will be $-0.5026m/sec^2$

Explanation:

We have given distance covers by truck s = 40 m

Time taken by truck to cover this distance t = 7.45 sec

Final velocity v = 3.50 sec

According to second equation of motion

$S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$40=u\times 7.45+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 7.45^2$

$7.45u+27.751a=40$ -----eqn 1

According to first equation of motion

v = u + at

So $3.5=u+7.45a$ -----eqn2

Solving equation 1 and 2

a = $-0.5026m/sec^2$

And u = 7.244 m /sec

(A) Original velocity will be 7.244 m /sec

(B) Acceleration will be

$-0.5026m/sec^2$
