Steps 1 and 2)
The variables are W = work, P = power, and t = time. In this case, W = 9514 joules and P = 347 watts.
The goal is to solve for the unknown time t.
-----------------------
Step 3)
Since we want to solve for the time, and we have known W and P values, we use the equation t = W/P
-----------------------
Step 4)
t = W/P
t = 9514/347
t = 27.4178674351586
t = 27.4 seconds
-----------------------
Step 5)
The lawn mower ran for about 27.4 seconds. I rounded to three sig figs because this was the lower amount of sig figs when comparing 9514 and 347.
-----------------------
Note: we don't use the mass at all
Displacement is d
Vf² = Vi² + 2 g d
(-20²) = (+10²) + 2 (-9.8) d
-19.6 d = 300
d = -15.3 m
negative means lower
time is t
d = Vi t + 1/2 g t²
-15.3 = 10 t + (-4.9) t²
4.9 t² - 10 t -15.3 = 0
t = 3.06 s
Hope this helps -John
For number one she is going to observe the contraction of the ballon
For number two she is going to observe the expansion of the ballon
