Complete question is;

Shoveling snow can be extremely taxing since the arms have such a low efficiency in this activity. Suppose a person shoveling a sidewalk metabolizes food at the rate of 800 W. (The efficiency of a person shoveling is 3%.)

(a) What is her useful power output? (b) How long will it take her to lift 3000 kg of snow 1.20 m? (This could be the amount of heavy snow on 20 m of footpath.) (c) How much waste heat transfer in kilojoules will she generate in the process?

Answer:

A) P_out = 24 W

B) t = 1470 s

C) Q = 1140.72 KJ

Explanation:

We are given;

Input Power; P_in = 800 W

Efficiency; η = 3% = 0.03

A) Formula for efficiency is;

η = P_out/P_in

Making P_out the subject, we have;

P_out = η•P_in

P_out = 0.03 × 800

P_out = 24 W

B) We know that;

Power = work done/time taken

Thus;

P_out = mgh/t

We are given;

m = 3000 kg

h = 1.20 m

Thus, time is;

t = (3000 × 9.8 × 1.2)/24

t = 1470 s

C) amount of heat wasted is calculated from;

Q = (P_in - P_out)t

Q = (800 - 24) × 1470

Q = 1,140,720 J

Q = 1140.72 KJ

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

b) q large and m small

Explanation:

q is large and m is small

We'll express it as :

q > m

As we know the formula:

F = Eq

And we also know that :

F = Bqv

F = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

Bqv = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

or Eq = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

Assume that you want a velocity selector that will allow particles of velocity v⃗  to pass straight through without deflection while also providing the best possible velocity resolution. You set the electric and magnetic fields to select the velocity v⃗ . To obtain the best possible velocity resolution (the narrowest distribution of velocities of the transmitted particles) you would want to use particles with q large and m small.

Current is produced when charges are accelerated by an electric field to move to a position of lower
Vaselesa [24]
Current is created when charges are quickened by an electric field to move where the position of lower temperature. An electric current is a stream of electric charge. In electric circuits, this charge is regularly conveyed by moving electrons in a wire.

An object is moving across a surface, but it is not gain or lose speed. Which best describes the objects force?
raketka [301]

Answer:

Gravity. An object is moving across a surface, but it does not gain or lose speed.

Explanation:

The basic idea. Physicists see gravity as one of the four fundamental forces that govern the universe, alongside electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces.

2 m3 of an ideal gas are compressed from 100 kPa to 200 kPa. As a result of the process, the internal energy of the gas increase
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

work done is -150 kJ

Explanation:

given data

volume v1 = 2 m³

pressure p1 = 100 kPa

pressure p2 = 200 kPa

internal energy = 10 kJ

heat is transferred  = 150 kJ

solution

we know from 1st law of thermodynamic is

Q = du +W    ............1

put here value and we get

-140 = 10 + W

W = -150 kJ

as here work done is -ve so we can say work is being done on system
