Answer:
Power = Work / Time
P = 400 kg * 9.8 m/s * 4.5 m / 3600 sec = 4.9 J/s = 4.9 Watts
Also, 4.9 Watts / (746 Watts / Horsepower) = .0066 Hp
Answer:
A. Speed is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector quantity.
Explanation:
A scalar quantity is one that consists of only a numerical value.
Speed is a scalar quantity because only the instantaneous value is indicated, for example the speedometer of a car that tells you your speed at the moment but not where you are going or in what direction are you going.
On the other hand, velocity is a vector quantity. Because it is composed of a <u>magnitude and a direction</u>, for example 10m/s to the south is a velocity, and 10m/s is a speed.
Answer:
Potential energy is energy that is stored – or conserved - in an object or substance. This stored energy is based on the position, arrangement or state of the object or substance. You can think of it as energy that has the 'potential' to do work.
Answer:
a. 8.96 m/s b. 1.81 m
Explanation:
Here is the complete question.
a) A long jumper leaves the ground at 45° above the horizontal and lands 8.2 m away.
What is her "takeoff" speed v
0
?
b) Now she is out on a hike and comes to the left bank of a river. There is no bridge and the right bank is 10.0 m away horizontally and 2.5 m, vertically below.
If she long jumps from the edge of the left bank at 45° with the speed calculated in part a), how long, or short, of the opposite bank will she land?
a. Since she lands 8.2 m away and leaves at an angle of 45 above the horizontal, this is a case of projectile motion. We calculate the takeoff speed v₀ from R = v₀²sin2θ/g. where R = range = 8.2 m.
So, v₀ = √gR/sin2θ = √9.8 × 8.2/sin(2×45) = √80.36/sin90 = √80.36 = 8.96 m/s.
b. We use R = v₀²sin2θ/g to calculate how long or short of the opposite bank she will land. With v₀ = 8.96 m/s and θ = 45
R = 8.96²sin(2 × 45)/9.8 = 80.2816/9.8 = 8.192 m.
So she land 8.192 m away from her bank. The distance away from the opposite bank she lands is 10 - 8.192 m = 1.808 m ≅ 1.81 m
