"700 watts" means 700 joules of work per second.
"300 watts" means 300 joules of work per second.
If the labels on both machines are true, and both machines
are loaded to their full capacity, then the 700-watt engine
is doing work faster than the 300-watt one.
Answer:
The darts hit very different areas of the board.
Explanation:
42) The sailboat travels east with velocity

, while the current moves south with speed

. Since the two velocities are perpendicular to each other, he resultant velocity will be given by the Pytagorean theorem:

and the direction is in between the two original directions, therefore south-east. So, the correct answer is
D) 42 mph southeast
43) Since the light moves by uniform motion, we can calculate the distance corresponding to one light year by using the basic relationship between velocity, space and time. In fact, we know the velocity:

and the time is one year, corresponding to:

therefore, the distance corresponding to one light year is:

Therefore, the correct answer is D.
44) For the purpose of the problem, we can assume that the light travels instantaneously from the flash to us (because the distances involved are very small), so the time between the flash and the thunder corresponds to the time it took for the sound to travel to us.
The speed of sound is

And since the time between the flash and the thunder is t=3 s, the distance is

Therefore, the correct answer is A) 3/5 mile.

Answer:
Answer in Explanation
Explanation:
Whenever we talk about the gravitational potential energy, it means the energy stored in a body due to its position in the gravitational field. Now, we know that in the gravitational field the work is only done when the body moves vertically. If the body moves horizontally on the same surface in the Earth's Gravitational Field, then the work done on the body is considered to be zero. Hence, the work done or the energy stored in the object while in the gravitational field is only possible if it moves vertically. This vertical distance is referred to as height. <u>This is the main reason why we require height in the P.E formula and calculations.</u>
The derivation of this formula is as follows:
Work = Force * Displacement
For gravitational potential energy:
Work = P.E
Force = Weight = mg
Displacement = Vertical Displacement = Height = h
Therefore,
P.E = mgh
