Answer: Sam provides the biggest power

Explanation: <u>Power</u> is defined, in Physics, as the rate of work done. <u>Work</u> is energy transferred to an object due to the force causing the displacement of the object.

So, to determine Power:

For Sam:

P = \frac{work}{time}

P=\frac{F.d}{t}

P=\frac{300.5}{30}

P = 50 Watts

The unit for Power is [P] = J/s = Watt

For Gary:

P = \frac{work}{time}

P=\frac{1000}{25}

P = 40 Watts

Comparing power of Sam and Gary, we can conclude that Sam provides the biggest power of 50 Watts.

At rest, hydrogen has a spectral line at 116 nm. if this line is observed at 107 nm for the star sirius, how fast is sirius movi
Citrus2011 [14]

2.3275862×10¹²km/s fast is sirius moving in km/s.

<h3>Briefing:</h3>

Hydrogen has a spectral line at = 116nm=116×10⁻⁹m

Line is observed at = 107 nm=107×10⁻⁹m

Now, from the Hubble's law

V=(\Delta \lambda / \lambda)×C

Where,

v is the velocity

Δλ = Change in wavelength = 116 - 107= 9nm=9×10⁻⁹m

λ = Actual wavelength=116nm=116×10⁻⁹m

C is the speed of the light=3×10⁸m/s

on substituting the respective values, we get

V=(9/116)×3×10⁸=23275862.069×10⁵m/s

V=2.3275862×10¹²km/s.

<h3>What is the wavelength?</h3>

A waveform signal's wavelength, which is the distance between two identical locations (adjacent crests) in the succeeding cycles, determines whether it is sent through space or via a wire. Typically, in wireless systems, this length is specified in meters (m), centimeters (cm), or millimeters (mm).

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed is scalar and velocity is vector. Vector values imply direction as well as magnitude. Therefore, speed and velocity are not the same. The speeds of these 2 planes are the same at 300km/hr, but the velocity of the plane traveling north is +300km/hr while the velocity of the plane traveling south is -300km/hr if we define north as positive and south as negative.

An engineer has the task of producing an aluminum alloy with a density of 3.0 grams per cubic centimeter. She comes up with the
pochemuha

Answer:

The best option is for the following option m = 15 [g] and V = 5 [cm³]

Explanation:

We have that the density of a body is defined as the ratio of mass to volume.

Ro =m/V

where:

Ro = density = 3 [g/cm³]

Now we must determine the densities with each of the given values.

<u>For m = 7 [g] and V = 2.3 [cm³]</u>

Ro=7/2.3\\Ro=3.04 [g/cm^{3} ]

<u>For m = 10 [g] and V = 7 [cm³]</u>

<u />Ro=10/7\\Ro=1.42[g/cm^{3} ]\\<u />

<u>For m = 15 [g] and V = 5 [cm³]</u>

<u />Ro=15/5\\Ro=3[g/cm^{3} ]\\<u />

<u>For m = 21 [g] and V = 8 [cm³]</u>

<u />Ro=21/8\\Ro=2.625[g/cm^{3} ]\\<u />
