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.

A hiker walks 11 km due north from camp and then turns and walks 11 km due east. What is the magnitude of the displacement (on a
sattari [20]

Answer:

16 km

Explanation:

Drawing a right triangle to model the problem helps. I started by drawing the lines of the triangle to model the hiker's journey- a vertical straight line for 11 km north and then a horizontal line connected to the top of it for 11 km east; I then drew the hypothenuse to connect the two lines.

The hypothenuse is what we have to solve for, so we will use the Pythagorean Theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Since both distances are 11 km both a and b in the equation are 11.

11^2 + 11^2 = c^2

121 + 121 = c^2

242 = c^2

c = 15.56

Rounding the answer makes it 16 km for the hiker's magnitude of displacement.

It was a dark and stormy night.Buffy hameard thunder exactly 6 secounds after she saw lightning , the temperature of air is 15°C
SashulF [63]

Answer:

υ = 345.82 m/s

Explanation:

The formula used to find the speed of sound in air, at different temperatures is given as follows:

v = v_{0}\sqrt{\frac{T}{273} }

where,

υ = speed of sound at given temperature  = ?

υ₀ = speed of sound at 0°C = 331 m/s

T = temperature in K = 15°C + 273 = 298 k

Therefore, using these values in the equation, we get:

v = (331 m/s)\sqrt{\frac{298 k}{273 k}}\\

<u>υ = 345.82 m/s</u>

The figure below shows a combination of capacitors. Find (a) the equivalent capacitance of combination, and (b) the energy store
velikii [3]

Answer:

A) C_{eq} = 15 10⁻⁶  F,  B)   U₃ = 3 J,  U₄ = 0.5 J

Explanation:

In a complicated circuit, the method of solving them is to work the circuit in pairs, finding the equivalent capacitance to reduce the circuit to simpler forms.

In this case let's start by finding the equivalent capacitance.

A) Let's solve the part where C1 and C3 are. These two capacitors are in serious

         \frac{1}{C_{eq}} = \frac{1}{C_1} + \frac{1}{C_3}            (you has an mistake in the formula)

         \frac{1}{C_{eq1}} = (\frac{1}{30} + \frac{1}{15}) \  10^{6}

         \frac{1}{C_{eq1}} = 0.1   10⁶

         C_{eq1} = 10 10⁻⁶ F

capacitors C₂, C₄ and C₅ are in series

          \frac{1}{C_{eq2}} = \frac{1}{C_2} + \frac{1}{C_4} + \frac{1}{C_5}

          \frac{1}{C_{eq2} }  = (\frac{1}{15} + \frac{1}{30} +   \frac{1}{10} ) \ 10^6

          \frac{1}{C_{eq2} } = 0.2 10⁶

          C_{eq2} = 5 10⁻⁶ F

the two equivalent capacitors are in parallel therefore

          C_{eq} = C_{eq1} + C_{eq2}

          C_{eq} = (10 + 5) 10⁻⁶

          C_{eq} = 15 10⁻⁶  F

B) the energy stored in C₃

The charge on the parallel voltage is constant

is the sum of the charge on each branch

         Q = C_{eq} V

         Q = 15 10⁻⁶ 6

         Q = 90 10⁻⁶ C

the charge on each branch is

         Q₁ = Ceq1 V

         Q₁ = 10 10⁻⁶ 6

          Q₁ = 60 10⁻⁶ C

         Q₂ = C_{eq2} V

         Q₂ = 5 10⁻⁶ 6

         Q₂ = 30 10⁻⁶ C

now let's analyze the load on each branch

Branch C₁ and C₃

           

In series combination the charge is constant    Q = Q₁ = Q₃

          U₃ = \frac{Q^2}{2 C_3}

          U₃ =\frac{ 60 \ 10^{-6}}{2 \ 10 \ 10^{-6}}

          U₃ = 3 J

In Branch C₂, C₄, C₅

since the capacitors are in series the charge is constant Q = Q₂ = Q₄ = Q₅

          U₄ = \frac{30 \ 10^{-6}}{ 2 \ 30 \ 10^{-6}}

          U₄ = 0.5 J
