A 60-kg woman runs up a staircase 15 m high (vertically) in 20 s.

Physics

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

wo fixed charges, A and B are located at x axis. A is at x = 0 m, B is at x = 4 m. QA = +4.0 μC and QB = -5.0 μC. Calculate the
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

10250 N/C leftwards

Explanation:

QA = 4 micro Coulomb

QB = - 5 micro Coulomb

AP = 6 m

BP = 2 m

A is origin, B is at 4 m and P is at 6 m .

The electric field due to charge QA at P is EA rightwards

E_{A}=\frac{KQ_{A}}{AP^{2}}=\frac{9\times10^{9}\times4\times10^{-6}}{6^{2}}=1000 N/C (rightwards)

The electric field due to charge QB at P is EB leftwards

E_{B}=\frac{KQ_{B}}{BP^{2}}=\frac{9\times10^{9}\times5\times10^{-6}}{2^{2}}=11250 N/C (leftwards)

The resultant electric field at P due the charges is given by

E = EB - EA

E = 11250 - 1000 = 10250 N/C leftwards

Why is the current atomic model called the "electron could model"
vlada-n [284]
The diagram is showing a 3d model of an atom, with all of the electrons demonstrated in a rounded shape, which resembles a cloud, thus being called an electron cloud.

Which kind of pigment reflects two primary light colors and absorbs one?1) primary pigment2) secondary pigment3) complementary p
weqwewe [10]

The primary colors of light are red, blue and green.

There are the pigments like yellow, magenta and cyan that are the mixture of two primary colors.

For example, magenta is a mixture of red and blue color. Thus, it reflects the red and blue color. Also, magneta absorbs the green color.

These type of colors that reflects two primary colors and absorb one color are known as secondary pigments.

Hence, 2nd option is the correct answer.
