Answer:

First let's find the work.

Work = Force*Displacement

= 20*5

= 100 Joules

Power = Work/Time

= 100/4

= 25 Watts

Aleksandr-060686 [28]
The word "Per" means divide

"miles per gallon" is the same as "miles / gallon"

The truck went 1,200 miles
on 55 gallons

1,200 ÷ 55 = 21.81

Net force of 8.0 N acts on an 18 kg body for one minute. Determine the impulse due to the force.
boyakko [2]

Answer:

p = FΔt = 8.0 N(60 s) = 480 N•s

Explanation:

not asked for, but in that time a frictionless 18 kg mass on a horizontal surface will have change velocity by 480/18 = 26.7 m/s.

An impulse results in a change of momentum.

A spy camera is said to be able to read the numbers on a car's license plate. If the numbers on the plate are 4.30 cm apart, and
Maslowich

Answer:

D = 2.38 m

Explanation:

This exercise is a diffraction problem where we must be able to separate the license plate numbers, so we must use a criterion to know when two light sources are separated, let's use the Rayleigh criterion, according to this criterion two light sources are separated if The maximum diffraction of a point coincides with the first minimum of the second point, so we can use the diffraction equation for a slit

         a sin θ  = m λ

Where the first minimum occurs for m = 1, as in these experiments the angle is very small, we can approximate the sine to the angle

           θ = λ / a

Also when we use a circular aperture instead of slits, we must use polar coordinates, which introduce a numerical constant

           θ = 1.22 λ / D

Where D is the circular tightness

       

Let's apply this equation to our case

         D = 1.22 λ /  θ

To calculate the angles let's use trigonometry

         tan  θ = y / x

          θ = tan⁻¹  y / x

          θ = tan⁻¹ (4.30 10⁻² / 140 10³)

          θ = tan⁻¹ (3.07 10⁻⁷)

          θ = 3.07 10⁻⁷ rad

Let's calculate

        D = 1.22 600 10⁻⁹ / 3.07 10⁻⁷

        D = 2.38 m

When a spacecraft travels away from Earth, the gravitational force acting on it
S_A_V [24]
The correct answer is decreases

The further away you are the weaker it would be. That's why at one point you stop being in the field and ti doesn't pull you towards it anymore. Proportionally, if you move towards the Earth then it increases.

A wagon is pulled at a speed of 0.40metets/seconds by a horse exerting an 1,800 Newton's horizontal force. what is the power of
Tatiana [17]

Given:

speed of 0.40meters/seconds

1,800 Newton's horizontal force

Required:

Power of the horse

Solution:

P = F(D/T) where P is power in watts, F is the force, D is the distance and T is time

P = (1,800N) (0.40 meters/seconds)

P = 720 Watts
