Answer:

Power = 360W

Explanation:

Given

Force = 600N

Time = 10s

Height = 6m

Required

Determine the power used

First, we need to calculate the work done to climb the stairs.

Word = Force * Distance

In this case, the distance represents the height of the stairs.

So:

Work = 600N * 6m

Work = 3600J

Next, we calculate the power using:

Power = \frac{Work}{Time}

Substitute values for Work and Time

Power = \frac{3600J}{10s}

Power = 360W

<em>Hence, the power used by the person is 360 watts</em>

A spring has a force constant k, and an object of mass m is suspended from it. The spring is cut in half and the same object is
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

f2/f1 = \sqrt{2}

Explanation:

From frequency of oscillation

f = 1/2pi *\sqrt{k/m}

Initially with the suspended string, the above equation is correct for the relation, hence

f1 = 1/2pi *\sqrt{k/m}

where k is force constant and m is the mass

When the spring is cut into half, by physics, the force constant will be doubled as they are inversely proportional

f2 = 1/2pi *\sqrt{2k/m}

Employing f2/ f1, we have

f2/f1 = \sqrt{2}

The speed of light is 3.0x10^5 km/sec and it takes light 1.3 seconds for light to travel from the moon to earth froim this infor
Vika [28.1K]
The motion of the light is a uniform motion with constant speed v=3 \cdot 10^5 km/s, therefore we can use the basic relationship between speed, space and time:
v= \frac{S}{t} (1)
where S is the distance covered and t is the time taken. The light takes t=1.3 s to travel from the moon to Earth, therefore by rearranging eq.(1) we can find the distance between the Moon and the Earth:
S=vt=(3 \cdot 10^5 km/s)(1.3 s)=390000 km=3.9 \cdot 10^5 km

Two ways that radio waves are used for transmitting information. Help me please.
Travka [436]
1. Stop transmitting start and stop sending photons. This is typical morse code like transmissions of information. By varying the pattern of starts stops you vary the information sent. Also used in digital communications over radios, modems, and pulse dialing over radio/phones. 

<span>2. Change the frequency. You use a pattern of shorter and longer wavelengths of radio waves higher and lower energies of individual photons to transmit information. This is frequency modulation </span>
