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

Scenario 3Starting at rest, a 3 kg ball is dropped from the side of a bridge and strikes the ground below at 35m/s. What is the
Nonamiya [84]

   The ball's gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as it falls toward the ground.

<h3>How can the height of a dropped ball be determined?</h3>

    Y = 1/2 g t 2, where y is the height above the ground, g = 9.8 m/s2, and t = 1.3 s, is the formula for problems like these. Any freely falling body with an initial velocity of zero meters per second can use this formula. figuring out how much y is.

   A ball drops from the top of a building and picks up speed as it descends. Its speed is increasing by 10 m/s every second. What we refer to as motion with constant acceleration is, for example, a ball falling due to gravity.

    The ball's parabolic motion causes it to move at a speed of 26.3 m/s right before it strikes the ground, which is faster than its straight downhill motion, which has a speed of 17.1 m/s. Take note of the rising positive y direction in the above graphic.

A 15 N force and a 45 N force act on in object in opposite directions. What is the net force on the object?
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

30N in the direction the 45N acts.

Explanation:

Fnet = F1 + F2 (the vector sum of the forces)

Assigning a positive direction to the 45N force and a negative direction to the 15N force gives:

Fnet = 45 - 15

Fnet = 30N

Since the answer is positive, it is in the direction the 45N force acts.
