Answer:

(a) 441 W (b) 0.59 hP

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a woman, m = 60 kg

Height of a staircase, h = 15 m

Time, t = 20 s

(a) We need to find the power she expend. Work done per unit time is called power. It is given by :

$P=\dfrac{W}{t}\\\\P=\dfrac{mgh}{t}\\\\P=\dfrac{60\times 9.8\times 15}{20}\\\\P=441\ W$

( b) Since, 1 hP = 745.7 W

P = 0.59 hP

A 16.0 kg child on roller skates, initially at rest, rolls 2.0 m down an incline at an angle of 20.0° with the horizontal. If th

enyata [817]

The kinetic energy of the child at the bottom of the incline is 106.62 J.

The given parameters:

Mass of the child, m = 16 kg
Length of the incline, L = 2 m
Angle of inclination, θ = 20⁰

The vertical height of fall of the child from the top of the incline is calculated as;

$sin(20) = \frac{h}{2} \\\\h = 2 \times sin(20)\\\\h = 0.68 \ m$

The gravitational potential energy of the child at the top of the incline is calculated as;

$P.E = mgh\\\\P.E = 16 \times 9.8 \times 0.68\\\\P.E = 106.62 \ J$

Thus, based on the principle of conservation of mechanical energy, the kinetic energy of the child at the bottom of the incline is 106.62 J since no energy is lost to friction.

Atomic physicists usually ignore the effect of gravity within an atom. To see why, we may calculate and compare the magnitude of

STatiana [176]

Answer:

$2.27\cdot 10^{49}$

Explanation:

The gravitational force between the proton and the electron is given by

$F_G=G\frac{m_p m_e}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

$m_p$ is the proton mass

$m_e$ is the electron mass

r = 3 m is the distance between the proton and the electron

Substituting numbers into the equation,

$F_G=(6.67259\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg s^{-2})\frac{(1.67262\cdot 10^{-27}kg) (9.10939\cdot 10^{-31}kg)}{(3 m)^2}=1.13\cdot 10^{-68}N$

The electrical force between the proton and the electron is given by

$F_E=k\frac{q_p q_e}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb constant

$q_p = q_e = q$ is the elementary charge (charge of the proton and of the electron)

r = 3 m is the distance between the proton and the electron

Substituting numbers into the equation,

$F_E=(8.98755\cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2})\frac{(1.602\cdot 10^{-19}C)^2}{(3 m)^2}=2.56\cdot 10^{-19}N$

So, the ratio of the electrical force to the gravitational force is

$\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{2.56\cdot 10^{-19} N}{1.13\cdot 10^{-68}N}=2.27\cdot 10^{49}$

So, we see that the electrical force is much larger than the gravitational force.
