Answer:

<h3>How did scientists “discover” Pangea and other supercontinents of the past?</h3>

Nowadays, they can study the geologic record and use radioactive dating, seismic surveys, and other technologies to construct maps of how the world looked at various points in Earth's history.

Suppose an individual is lying on his stomach with sheets of paper stacked on his back. If each sheet of paper has a mass of 0.0

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

N = 177843 sheets

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass;m = 0.0035 kg

Pressure; p = 101325 pa = 101325 N/m²

L = 0.279m

W = 0.216m

The weight of N sheets is N(mg)

Where;

m is the mass of one sheet

N is number of sheets

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

The pressure equals weight divided by the area on which the weight presses:

Thus,

p= F/A = Nmg/(L•W)

Therefore, making N the subject;

N = pLW/(mg)

N = 101325 x 0.279 x 0.216/ (0.0035 x 9.81)

N = 177843

A world-class sprinter running a 100 m dash was clocked at 5.4 m/s 1.0 s after starting running and at 9.8 m/s 1.5 s later. In w

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

<em>The output power is greater in the interval from 1.0 s to 2.5 s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Physical Power </u>

It measures the amount of work W an object does in certain time t. The formula needed to compute power is

$\displaystyle P=\frac{W}{t}$

Work can be computed in several ways since we are given the motion conditions, we'll use this formula, for F= applied force, x=distance parallel to F

$W=F.x$

The second Newton's law gives us the net force as

$F=m.a$

being m the mass of the object and a the acceleration it has for a given period of time. In our problem, we have two different behaviors for each interval and we must calculate this force since the acceleration is changing. Let's calculate the acceleration in the first interval. We can use the formula for the final speed vf knowing the initial speed vo (which is 0 because the sprinter starts from rest), the acceleration a, and the time t:

$v_f=v_o+at$

$v_f=at$

Solving for a

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f}{t}={5.4}{1}$

$a=5.4\ m/s^2$

The distance traveled in the interval is given by

$\displaystyle x=v_o.t+\frac{a.t^2}{2}$

Since vo=0

$\displaystyle x=\frac{a.t^2}{2}=\frac{5.4(1)^2}{2}$

$x=2.7\ m$

The force is given by

$F=m.a$

We don't know the value of m, so the force is

$F=2.7m$

Computing the work done by the sprinter

$W=F.x=2.7m(5.4)$

$W=14.58m$

The power is finally computed

$\displaystyle P=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{14.58m}{1}$

$P=14.58m$

During the second interval, from t=1 sec to 1.5 sec, the speed changes from 5.4 m/s to 9.8 m/s. This allows us to compute the second acceleration

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}=\frac{9.8-5.4}{0.5}$

$a=8.8\ m/s^2$

The distance is

$\displaystyle x=(5.4).(0.5)+\frac{8.8(0.5)^2}{2}$

$x=3.8\ m$

The net force is

$F=m(8.8)=8.8m$

The work done by the sprinter is now computed as

$W=8.8m(3.8)=33.44m$

At last, the output power is

$\displaystyle P=\frac{33.44m}{0.5}=66.88m$

By comparing both results, and being m the same for both parts, we conclude the output power is greater in the interval from 1.0 s to 2.5 s

How much work is accomplished when a force of 250 N pushes a box across the floor for a distance of 50 meters?

IrinaK [193]

Work = force * distance
and newton*meters = Joule

In this case, work = 250N*50m = 12500 J

So the answer is D) 12,500 J
