Answer:

117.72kW

Explanation:

Given data

Mass m= 50kg

height x = 2m

time taken = 2 minutes= 129 seconds

let us find the work done

WD= force * distance

WD= mgx

WD= 50*9.81*2

WD= 981 Joules

Let us find the power

Power= work * time

Power= 981*120

Power= 117720

Power= 117.72 kW

Hence the power spent is 117.72kW

A boat is traveling at an initial velocity of 2.7 meters per second in the positive direction. It accelerates at a rate of 0.15

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 4.5 \ m/s \ in \ the \ positive \ direction}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find the final velocity of the boat.

We are given the initial velocity, acceleration, and time. Therefore, we will use the following kinematic equation.

$v_f= v_i + at$

The initial velocity is 2.7 meters per second. The acceleration is 0.15 meters per second squared. The time is 12 seconds.

$v_i$ = 2.7 m/s
a= 0.15 m/s²
t= 12 s

Substitute the values into the formula.

$v_f = 2.7 \ m/s + (0.15 \ m/s^2)(12 \ s)$

Multiply the numbers in parentheses.

$v_f= 2.7 \ m/s + (0.15 \ m/s/s * 12 \ s)$

$v_f = 2.7 \ m/s + (0.15 \ m/s *12)$

$\v_f=2.7 \ m/s + (1.8 \ m/s)$ $v_f=2.7 \ m/s + (1.8 \ m/s)$

Add.

$v_f=4.5 \ m/s$

The final velocity of the boat is 4.5 meters per second in the positive direction.

Simple but not plagiarized answer for "what is forces and motion?"

egoroff_w [7]

FORCE-physical power or strength possessed by a living being:
He used all his force in opening the window.

MOTION-the action or process of moving or of changing place or position; movement.
