Answer:

the work done by the lawnmower is 236.14 J.

Explanation:

Given;

power exerted by the lawnmower engine, P = 19 hp

time in which the power was exerted, t = 1 minute = 60 s.

1 hp = 745.7 watts

The work done by the lawnmower is calculated as follows;

$Work = Energy = \frac{Power}{time} \\\\Work = \frac{(19 \times 745.7)}{60} = 236.14 \ J$

Therefore, the work done by the lawnmower is 236.14 J.

Answer:

x = 0.0734 m = 7.34 cm

Explanation:

First we shall calculate the area of the piston:

$Area = \pi radius^2\\Area = \pi (0.028\ m)^2\\Area = 0.00246\ m^2$

Now, we will calculate the force on the piston due to atmospheric pressure:

$Atmospheric\ Pressure = \frac{Force}{Area}\\\\Force = (Atmospheric\ Pressure)(Area)\\Force = (101325\ N/m^2)(0.00246\ m^2) \\Force = F = 249.56\ N$

Now, for the compression of the spring we will use Hooke's Law as follows:

$F = kx\\$

where,

k = spring constant = 3400 N/m

x = compression = ?

Therefore,

ASK YOUR TEACHER A baseball with a mass of 146 g is thrown horizontally with a speed of 40.6 m/s (91 mi/h) at a bat. The ball is

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of the ball = 146 g = 146 / 1000 = 0.146 kg

initial speed of the ball = 40.6 m/s

final speed of the ball = - 45.1 m/s

time of impact = 1.05 ms = 1.05 / 1000 = 0.00105 s

impulse, Ft = change in momentum = mv - mu = m (v-u)

F = m (v - u) / t = 0.146 kg ( -45.1 -40.6) / 0.00105 s = -11916.4 N

Why is the H-R diagram useful in plotting the life cycles of stars?

Roman55 [17]

The sun provides a handy benchmark for describing other stars. The mass of this solar system's sun gives us a unit for measuring other stars' masses.
