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

A classroom has 24 fluorescent bulbs, each of which is 32 W. how much energy does it take to light the room for a minute?(unit=J

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Energy= 46.08KJ

Explanation:

Given that the power needed to light each bulb is 32W

We know that Power = $\frac{energy}{time}$

The energy needed to light one bulb= $power*time$

Given time = 1minute = 60 seconds

Energy = $32W*60sec$ =1920J

Therefore energy needed to light one bulb is 1920J

The energy needed to light 24 bulbs = $1920*24$ =46080J=46.08KJ

Tsunamis are fast-moving waves often generated by underwater earthquakes. In the deep ocean their amplitude is barely noticable,

vovangra [49]

Answer:

v =163.95 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The wavelength of wave, $\lambda=646\ km=646\times 10^3\ m$

Distance covered, $d=3630\ km=3630\times 10^3\ m$

We need to find the speed of the wave. We know that,

speed = distance/time

So,

$v=\dfrac{3630\times 10^3\ m}{22140\ s}\\\\=163.95\ m/s$

So, the speed of the wave is equal to 163.95 m/s.
