Answer:

A. 450 N

B. 3240 J

C. 0.77 KW

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height of one step = 20 cm

Number of steps = 36

Mass of runner = 45 kg

Time taken = 4.2 s

Next, we shall convert 20 cm to metre (m). This can be obtained as follow:

100 cm = 1 m

Therefore,

20 cm = 20 cm × 1 m /100 cm

20 cm = 0.2 m

Next, we shall determine the total height. This can be obtained as follow:

Height of one step = 0.2 m

Number of steps = 36

Total height =?

Total height = 36 × 0.2

Total height = 7.2 m

A. Determination of the runner's weight.

Mass of runner (m) = 45 kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Weight (W) =?

W = m × g

W = 45 × 10

W = 450 N

B. Determination of the increase in the potential energy.

At the ground level, the potential energy (PE₁) is 0 J.

Next, we shall determine the potential energy at 7.2 m. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of runner (m) = 45 kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Total height (h) = 7.2 m

Potential energy at height 7.2 m (PE₂) = ?

PE₂ = mgh

PE₂ = 45 × 10 × 7.2

PE₂ = 3240 J

Final, we shall determine the increase in potential energy. This can be obtained as follow:

Potential energy at ground (PE₁) = 0 J

Potential energy at height 7.2 m (PE₂) = 3240 J

Increase in potential energy =?

Increase in potential energy = PE₂ – PE₁

Increase in potential energy = 3240 – 0

Increase in potential energy = 3240 J

C. Determination of the power.

Energy (E) = 3240 J

Time (t) = 4.2 s

Power (P) =?

P = E/t

P = 3240 / 4.2

P = 771.43 W

Finally, we shall convert 771.43 W to kilowatt (KW). This can be obtained as follow:

1000 W = 1 KW

Therefore,

771.43 W = 771.43 W × 1 KW / 1000 W

771.43 W = 0.77 KW

Therefore, her power is 0.77 KW

A thin double convex glass lens with an index of 1.56 while surrounded by air has a 10 cm focal length. If it is placed under wa
bearhunter [10]

Explanation:

Formula which holds true for a leans with radii R_{1} and R_{2} and index refraction n is given as follows.

          \frac{1}{f} = (n - 1) [\frac{1}{R_{1}} - \frac{1}{R_{2}}]

Since, the lens is immersed in liquid with index of refraction n_{1}. Therefore, focal length obeys the following.  

            \frac{1}{f_{1}} = \frac{n - n_{1}}{n_{1}} [\frac{1}{R_{1}} - \frac{1}{R_{2}}]  

             \frac{1}{f(n - 1)} = [\frac{1}{R_{1}} - \frac{1}{R_{2}}]

and,       \frac{n_{1}}{f(n - n_{1})} = \frac{1}{R_{1}} - \frac{1}{R_{2}}

or,          f_{1} = \frac{fn_{1}(n - 1)}{(n - n_{1})}

              f_{w} = \frac{10 \times 1.33 \times (1.56 - 1)}{(1.56 - 1.33)}

                          = 32.4 cm

Using thin lens equation, we will find the focal length as follows.

             \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{s_{o}} + \frac{1}{s_{i}}

Hence, image distance can be calculated as follows.

       \frac{1}{s_{i}} = \frac{1}{f} - \frac{1}{s_{o}} = \frac{s_{o} - f}{fs_{o}}

              s_{i} = \frac{fs_{o}}{s_{o} - f}

             s_{i} = \frac{32.4 \times 100}{100 - 32.4}

                       = 47.9 cm

Therefore, we can conclude that the focal length of the lens in water is 47.9 cm.

A tourist drops (from rest) a ping pong ball from the top of the tower, which has a height of 324 meters. Assuming no air resist
Elanso [62]

Answer:

8.13secs

Explanation:

From the question weal are given

Height H =324m

Required

time it takes to drop t

Using the equation of motion

H = ut + 1/2gt²

Substitute the given values

324 = 0(t)+1/2(9.8)t²

324 = 1/2(9.8)t²

324 = 4.9t²

t² =324/4.9

t² = 66.12

t = √66.12

t = 8.13secs

Hence the time taken to drop is 8.13secs
