Here's the tool you need.  You can't answer the question without this:

           "1 watt"
means
           "1 joule of energy, generated, used, or moved, every second".

So      60 watts  =  60 joules per second

           Total energy generated,
            used, or moved                  = (power) x (time).

                                     580 joules  =  (60 watts) x (time)

Divide each side
by  (60 watts):              Time  =  (580 joules) / (60 joules/sec) 

                                               =  (9 and 2/3)  seconds  .

A load of 54 N attached to a spring that ishanging vertically stretches the spring 0.15 m.What is the spring constant?Answer in
beks73 [17]

Answer:

300 N/m

Explanation:

given,

Load attached to the spring, W = 54 N

length of stretch of the spring, x = 0.15 m

spring constant= ?

Force applied on the spring is calculated by the equation

F = k x

where k is the spring constant

x is the displacement of the spring due to applied load

now,

54 = k × 0.15

k = \dfrac{54}{0.15}

k =300\ N/m

hence, the spring constant is equal to 300 N/m

A highway patrol car traveling a constant speed of 105 km/h is passed by a speeding car traveling 140 km/h. Exactly 1.00 s after
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

The elapsed time from when the speeder passes the patrol car until it is caught is 9.24 s.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The position of the patrol car at a time "t" can be calculated using this equation:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

Where:

x = position of the patrol car at a time "t"

x0 = initial position.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

a = acceleration.

For the speeding car, the equation is the same only that the acceleration is zero. Then, the equation gets reduced to this:

x = x0 + v · t

Where "v" is the constant velocity.

First, let´s convert the velocity units into m/s:

140 km/h · 1000 m / 1 km · 1 h / 3600 s = 38.9 m/s

105 km/h · 1000 m / 1 km · 1 h / 3600 s = 29.2 m/s

We have to find how much time it takes the patrol car to catch the speeder after the speeder passes the patrol car.

When the patrol car catches the speeder, the position of both cars is the same:

position of the patrol car = position of the speeder

x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t² = x0 + v · t

if we place the origin of the frame of reference at the point where the patrol car starts accelerating (1 s after the speeder passes the patrol car) then, the initial position of the patrol car will be zero, while the initial position of the speeder will be the traveled distance in 1 s:

x = v · t

x = 38.9 m/s · 1 s = 38.9 m

When the patrol car accelerates, the speeder is 38.9 m ahead of it. Then:

x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t² = x0 + v · t

0 + 29.2 m/s · t + 1/2 · 3.50 m/s² · t² = 38.9 m + 38.9 m/s · t

Let´s agrupate terms and equalize to zero:

-38.9 m - 38.9 m/s · t + 29.2 m/s · t + 1.75 m/s² · t² = 0

-38.9 m - 9.70 m/s · t + 1.75 m/s² · t² = 0

Solving the quadratic equation for t using the quadratic formula:

t = 8.24 s  (the other solution is discarded because it is negative)

The elapsed time from when the speeder passes the patrol car until it is caught is (8.24 s + 1.00) 9.24 s.

Calculate the rate of heat conduction through a layer of still air that is 1 mm thick, with an area of 1 m, for a temperature of
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The rate of heat conduction through the layer of still air is 517.4 W

Explanation:

Given:

Thickness of the still air layer (L) = 1 mm

Area of the still air = 1 m

Temperature of the still air ( T) = 20°C

Thermal conductivity of still air (K) at 20°C = 25.87mW/mK

Rate of heat conduction (Q) = ?

To determine the rate of heat conduction through the still air, we apply the formula below.

Q =\frac{KA(\delta T)}{L}

Q =\frac{25.87*1*20}{1}

Q = 517.4 W

Therefore, the rate of heat conduction through the layer of still air is 517.4 W
