Calculate the power transfer when a pump moves 50kg of water through a vertical height of 8meters in 5seconds (take g =10meters
Vika [28.1K]

Hi there!

Recall the following relationships:

W = \Delta U = mg\Delta h\\\\P = \frac{W}{t}

W = Work (J)

U = Potential Energy (J)

m = mass (kg)

g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²)

h = height (m)

t = time (s)

Begin by calculating the work:

W = 50(10)(8) = 4000 J

Now, divide by the time to solve for power:

P = \frac{4000}{5} = \boxed{800W}

**W is the unit for power (Watts).  Be careful not to get the two confused.

When an ice cube is placed in a glass of warm water, how are the signs and values q for the ice and the warm water related, assu
Valentin [98]

Answer:

q(ice) = -q(warm water)

Explanation:

Ice removes energy if ice is put in warm water and ice retains the very same amount of energy. Thus the water temperature heat sign is negative, and the ice heat sign is positive.

0.4375 m/s^2

Acceleration is change in velocity over time

Change in velocity (Vf-Vi) 9.7m/s - 6.2m/s = 3.5 m/s

Time is 8 seconds

Acceleration = 3.5m/s / 8s = 0.4375 m/s^2
