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 10.0 kg sphere is released from rest in an ocean. as it falls, the water applies a resistive force r
dimaraw [331]

The calculated coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.33125.'

The rate of kinetic friction the friction force to normal force ratio experienced by a body moving on a dry, uneven surface is known as k. The friction coefficient is the ratio of the normal force pressing two surfaces together to the frictional force preventing motion between them. Typically, it is represented by the Greek letter mu (). In terms of math, is equal to F/N, where F stands for frictional force and N for normal force.

given mass of the block=10 kg

spring constant k= 2250 Nm

now according to principal of conservation of energy we observe,

the energy possessed by the block initially is reduced by the friction between the points B and C and rest is used up in work done by the spring.

mgh= μ (mgl) +1/2 kx²

10 x 10 x 3= μ(600) +(1125) (0.09)

μ(600) =300 - 101.25

μ = 198.75÷600

μ =0.33125

The complete question is- A 10.0−kg block is released from rest at point A in Fig The track is frictionless except for the portion between point B and C, which has a length of 6.00m the block travels down the track, hits a spring of force constant 2250N/m, and compresses the spring 0.300m form its equilibrium position before coming to rest momentarily. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the rough surface between point Band (C)

A projectile is shot at an angle 45 degrees to the horizontalnear the surface of the earth but in the absence of air resistance.
juin [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

For first case

launch angle \theta =45^{\circ}C

at highest point h=150 m/s

150=u\cos 45

u=\frac{150}{\cos 45}=212.132 m/s

For second case

\theta _2=37^{\circ}C

at highest Point velocity is u\cos \theta _2

=212.132\times \cos 37

=169.41 m/s

as there is no acceleration in x direction therefore horizontal velocity is same

Hydrogen line spectrum lies entirely within visible range
mart [117]

No, that's silly.

You've got your Pfund series where electrons fall down to the 5th level,
your Brackett series where they fall to the 4th level, and your Paschen
series where they fall to the 3rd level.  All of those transitions ploop out
photons at Infrared wavelengths.

THEN next you get your Balmer series, where the electrons fall in
to the 2nd level.  Most of those are at visible wavelengths, but even
a few of the Balmer transitions are in the Ultraviolet.

And then there's the Lyman series, where electrons fall all the way
down to the #1 level.  Those are ALL in the ultraviolet.
