Answer: 1479watts

Explanation:

Power is defined as the energy expended or work done in a specific time.

Mathematically,

Power = Workdone/time taken

Since work done is force × distance

Power = force × distance/time

Force = Mary's weight = 87N

Distance = height of the flight = 102meters

Time = 6.0seconds

Substituting in the formula we have;

Power = 87 × 102/6

Power = 1,479watts

Note that the time must be in seconds before usage. If its given in minutes, you will have to convert to seconds

A positively charged particle is in the center of a parallel-plate capacitor that has charge ±Q on its plates. SUppose the dista
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Stay the same

Explanation:

First of all, let's find how the capacitance of the capacitor changes.

Initially, it is given by

C=\frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d}

where

\epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity

A is the area of the plates

d is the separation between the plates

From the formula, we see that the capacitance is inversely proportional to the separation between the plates. In this problem, the distance between the plates is doubled, so the capacitance will be halved:

C' = \frac{1}{2}C

The potential difference across the capacitor is given by

V= \frac{Q}{C}

where

Q is the charge on the plates

C is the capacitance

We see that the voltage is inversely proportional to the capacitance. We said that the capacitance has halved: therefore, the potential difference across the two plates will double:

V' = 2 V

Now we can analyze the electric field between the plates of the capacitor, which is given by

E=\frac{V}{d}

we said that:

- The voltage has doubled: V' = 2 V

- The distance between the plates has doubled: d' = 2 d

therefore, the new electric field will be

E'=\frac{2V}{2d}=\frac{V}{d}=E

So, the electric field is unchanged. And since the force on the particle at the center is directly proportional to the electric field:

F = qE

Then the force on the particle will stay the same.

A group of students is measuring the change in momentum of an object. Which set of lab equipment would be most in measuring the
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The momentum of an object is defined as the mass of the object times the velocity of the object, as P = m*v.

So the equipment needed would be:

Something to measure the mass of the object, like a balance.

Something to measure the speed of the object, like a doppler radar, or a simpler thing may be a cronometer, with that you can measure the amount of time that the object needs to travel a given distance, and with that you can obtain the speed of the object.

Now you can notice that speed is different than velocity, this is true, velocity is a vector, so this has a direction, then you need something to fix the direction in which the object moves, in this way you can determine the velocity.

a uniform rule balance on a knife edge at the 55cm mark when a mass of 40g is hung from the 95cm mark. find the weight of the ru
BigorU [14]

Answer:

W = 3.1 N

Explanation:

moments about any convenient point will sum to zero.

I choose summing about the knife edge mark and will assume the ruler of weight W is of uniform construction.

I will assume the ruler weight makes a positive moment

W[55 - 50) - 0.040(9.8)[ 95 - 55] = 0

                                                5W = 15.68

                                                   W = 3.136
