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

Engineers are trying to improve a race car. Their goal is to increase the acceleration of the car using the same engine. Which c
Andru [333]

To increase the acceleration of the car using the same engine, the   mass of the car must be decreased.

<h3>What is Newton's first law of motion</h3>

Newton's first law of motion states that an object at rest or uniform motion in a straight line will continue in that path unless acted upon by an external force.

The first law is also called the law of inertia because it depends on the mass of the object. The greater the mass, the greater the inertia and more reluctant the object will be to move.

Thus, to increase the acceleration of the car using the same engine, the   mass of the car must be decreased.

A 30-cm long string, with one end clamped and the other free to move transversely, is vibrating in its second harmonic. The wave
Ann [662]

Answer:

\lambda = 40 cm

Explanation:

given data

string length = 30 cm

solution

we take here equation of length that is

L = n \times \frac{1}{4} \lambda     ...............1

so

total length will be here

L = \frac{\lambda}{2} +  \frac{\lambda}{4}\\

L = \frac{3 \lambda }{4}

so \lambda  will be

\lambda = \frac{4L}{3}\\\lambda = \frac{4\times 30}{3}

\lambda = 40 cm

14. If the spring constant of a simple harmonic oscillator is doubled, by what factor will the mass of the system need to change
klio [65]

Lets se

And

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \sqrt{k}T=2\pi\sqrt{m}

So

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow k\propto m

If spring constant is doubled mass must be doubled

Statements best explains why a scientific theory can be revised?
Vadim26 [7]

Answer: Because new theories can come out that better explain observations and experimental results can replace old theories.

Explanation: Theories more than ten years old are usually out of date. Scientists want to prove that the work of other scientists is wrong. New evidence that supports a change prompts scientists to modify earlier theories.
