3) A child runs up the stairs and does 1250 J of work. If the child generates 267 W of power how long did it take for the child to run up the stairs?

4) A 8.642 kg rabbit is running across your back yard. If that rabbit has 125.6 J of Kinetic Energy, how fast is it running?

5) When using a simple machine you do 120 J of work on the machine. You notice that the machine gives you an output of 93 J. What is the efficiency of this machine?

6) A 212 kg bumper car is traveling 8.00 m/s when it rear ends a second 196 kg bumper car traveling 6.75 m/s. If the cars get stuck together, how fast are they traveling after the collision?

1)

The acceleration of the car is the rate of change of velocity of the car; it can be calculated as:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time taken for the velocity of the car to change from u to v

In this problem, for this car we have:

u = 37.1 m/s

v = 29.8 m/s

t = 3 s

So, the acceleration is:

a=\frac{29.8-37.1}{3}=-2.43 m/s^2

2)

The work done in lifting the box is equal to the potential energy transferred to the box during the process; it is given by:

W=Fd

where

F is the force applied

d is the displacement of the box

Here we have:

F = 87.3 N is the force applied

d = 2.04 m is the displacement of the box

So, the work done to lift the box is:

W=(87.3)(2.04)=178.1 J

3)

The power is the rate of work done per unit time. It is calculated as:

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

W is the work done

t is the time taken to do the work

For the child in this problem, we have:

W = 1250 J is the work done by the child running up the stairs

P = 267 W is the power used

Therefore, re-arranging the equation, we find the time taken:

t=\frac{W}{P}=\frac{1250}{267}=4.68 s

4)

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its motion. Mathematically, it is given by

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

For the rabbit in this problem, we have:

m = 8.642 kg is the mass of the rabbit

KE = 125.6 is its kinetic energy

Solving the formula for v, we find the speed of the rabbit:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2KE}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(125.6)}{8.642}}=5.4 m/s

5)

The efficiency of a machine is the ratio between the energy produced in output by the machine and the work done in input. Mathematically, it is given by

\eta = \frac{E_{out}}{W_{in}}\cdot 100

where

E_{out} is the energy in output

W_{in} is the work in input

For the machine in this problem,

W_{in}=120 J is the work in input

E_{out}=93 J is the energy in output

Therefore, the efficiency of this machine is:

\eta=\frac{93}{120}\cdot 100=77.5\%

6)

During a collision, the total momentum of the system is always conserved before and after the collision. So we can write:

p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 =(m_1+m_2)v

where

m_1=212 kg is the mass of the first car

u_1=8.00 m/s is the initial velocity of the first car

m_2=196 kg is the mass of the 2nd car

u_2=6.75 m/s is the initial velocity of the 2nd car

v is the final velocity of the two cars stuck together (after the collision, they move together)

Solving the equation for v, we find:

v=\frac{m_1 u_1 +m_2 u_2}{m_1 +m_2}=\frac{(212)(8.00)+(196)(6.75)}{212+196}=7.40 m/s

7)

The relationship between speed, frequency and wavelength of a wave is given by the wave equation:

v=f\lambda

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency of the wave

\lambda is the wavelength

For the wave in the string in this problem we have:

\lambda=0.23 m (wavelength)

f = 12 Hz (frequency)

So, the speed of the wave is:

v=(12)(0.23)=2.76 m/s

8)

The relationship between frequency and wavelength for an electromagnetic wave is given by

c=f\lambda

where:

c is the speed of light in a vacuum

f is the frequency of the wave

\lambda is the wavelength of the wave

For the blue light in this problem, we have

f=6.2\cdot 10^{14}Hz (frequency)

while the speed of light is

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s

So, the wavelength of blue light is:

\lambda=\frac{c}{f}=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^8}{6.2\cdot 10^{14}}=4.8\cdot 10^{-7} m

9)

The sound wave in this problem travels with uniform motion (=constant velocity), therefore we can use the following equation:

d=vt

where

d is the distance covered by the wave

v is the speed of the wave

t is the time elapsed

In this problem:

v = 343 m/s is the speed of the sound wave

t = 0.287 s is the time elapsed

So, the distance covered by the wave is

d=(343)(0.287)=98.4 m

H2O2 is a polyatomic ion<br> ?
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

If you are meaning O2^2- ion, well, don’t forget that ions have a charge, that has to be specified when referring to them. It is a polyatomic ion just because it consists of more than one atom, irrespective of the fact that these atoms are of the same element or not. It was given that name because at the early times chemistry was founded as a science, it was found that with respect to other oxygenated substances, peroxides contained more oxygen than expected: Latin prefix per- gives the terms it is attached to the meaning of being increased, enhanced, and similar.

There are 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in an hour, 7 days in a week, and 4 weeks in a month? using these conversions how many m
Serggg [28]

Explanation:

From your information above, assume 1 month is 28 days

1 days=24hours ; 28 days=672 hours (just multiply 1 days with 28)

1 hour=60minutes ; 672 hours=40,320 minutes

.. 1 month=40,320 minutes

What is the density of an object that has a volume of 34.2 cm^3 and a mass of 19.6 g? (a) 0.573 g/cm^3 (b) 1.74 g/cm^3 (c) 670 g
KengaRu [80]

Answer: The density of the object will be 0.573g/cm^3

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

Density=\frac{mass}{Volume}

Given : Mass of object = 19.6 grams

Volume of object= 34.2cm^3

Putting in the values we get:

Density=\frac{19.6g}{34.2cm^3}=0.573g/cm^3

Thus density of the object will be 0.573g/cm^3

What does C=o represent
Novay_Z [31]

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that is slightly less dense than air. ... Carbon monoxide consists of one carbon atom and one oxygen atom, connected by a triple bond that consists of two covalent bonds as well as one dative covalent bond.  


I think it's probably not right.
