How much power is needed to lift a 20-kg object to a height of 4.0 m in 2.5 seconds?

Physics
1 answer:
4vir4ik [10]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

313.92w

Explanation:

Formula for power:

P=W/∆t = Fv

Givens:

m=20kg

∆y=4.0m

∆t=2.5s

a=9.81m/s²

In order to find power, we first need to solve for work.

W=Fd (force*displacement), f=mg

W=mg∆y

W=(20kg)(9.81m/s²)(4.0m)

W=784.8J

P=W/∆t

P=784.8J/2.5s

P=313.92 watts

What causes irregular galaxies to be irregular
Mariulka [41]

Irregular galaxies get their odd shapes in many ways. One way irregular galaxies are formed is when galaxies collide or come close to one another, and their gravitational forces interact. Another source of irregular galaxies may be very young galaxies that have not yet reached a symmetrical state.

A rock falls from the top of a hill to the bottom. The total energy of the rock at the top isn’t the same as the sum of its pote
mart [117]

Answer:

A) some of the rocks energy is transformed to thermal energy

Explanation:

If we neglect air resistance during the fall of the rock, than the mechanical energy of the rock (which is sum of its potential energy and its kinetic energy) would be constant during the entire motion, so the total energy of the rock at the top would be the same as the sum of its potential energy and kinetic energy at the bottom.

However, this not occurs, due to the presence of air resistance. In fact, air resistance acts against the fall of the rock, and because of the friction between the molecules of air and the surface of the rock, the rock loses part of its energy. This energy is converted into thermal energy of the molecules of the air.

If you wish to take a picture of a bullet traveling at 500 m/s, then a very brief flash of light produced by an RC discharge thr
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Resistance in the flash tube, R=3.97\times 10^{-3}\ \Omega

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the bullet, v = 500 m/s

Distance between one RC constant, d = 1 mm = 0.001 m

Capacitance, C=503\ \mu F=503\times 10^{-6}\ F

The time constant of RC circuit is given by :

\tau=RC

R is the resistance in the flash tube

R=\dfrac{\tau}{C}..........(1)

Speed of the bullet is given by total distance divided by total time taken as :

v=\dfrac{d}{\tau}

\tau=\dfrac{d}{v}

\tau=\dfrac{0.001}{500}

\tau=0.000002\ s

Equation (1) becomes :

R=\dfrac{0.000002}{503\times 10^{-6}}

R=3.97\times 10^{-3}\ \Omega

So, the resistance in the flash tube is 3.97\times 10^{-3}\ \Omega. Hence, this is the required solution.
