Answer:

Power = 130 watt

Explanation:

Power is described as the ability to do work, it is also defined as the amount of work in Joules done in a given time in seconds. Mathematically, it is represented as:

$power = \frac{work (J)}{Time (s)}$

In this example, power is calculated as follows:

Work = 39000 J

Time = 5 minutes

converting the time from minutes to seconds:

1 minute = 60 seconds

∴ 5 minutes = 60 × 5 = 300 seconds

$\therefore power = \frac{39000}{300} \\power = 130 watt$

N:B the unit for power can also be represented as Joules/seconds or J/s or JS⁻¹

A snowball is thrown with an initial x velocity of 7.5 m/s and an initial y velocity of 8.4 m/s . Part A How much time is requir

elena55 [62]

In order to calculate the time taken by the snowball to reach the highest point in its journey, we need to consider the variables along the y-direction.

Let us list out what we know from the question so that we can decide on the equation to be used.

We know that Initial Y Velocity $V_{iy}$ = 8.4 m/s

Acceleration in the Y direction $a_{y}$ = -9.8 m/ $s^{2}$ , since the acceleration due to gravity points in the downward direction.

Final Y Velocity $V_{fy}$ = 0 because at the highest point in its path, an object comes to rest momentarily before falling down.

Time taken t = ?

From the list above, it is easy to see that the equation that best suits our purpose here is $V_{fy} = V_{iy} + a_{y}t$

Plugging in the numbers, we get 0 = 8.4 - (9.8)t

Solving for t, we get t = 0.857 s

Therefore, the snowball takes 0.86 seconds to reach its highest point.

A 2 kg mass is free falling in the negative Y direction when a 10 N force is exerted in the minus X direction. What is the accel

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The mass's acceleration is 5 m/s^2 in the minus X direction and 9,8 m/s^2 in the minus Y direction.

Explanation:

By applying the second Newton's law in the X and Y direction we found that in the minus X direction an external force of 10 N is exerted, while in the minus Y direction the gravity acceleration is acting:

X-direction balance force: $-10 [N] = m.ax$
