Awanita is placing items on a shelf that is 200 cm above the ground. She exerts a force of 20 N to lift a box from the floor to

the shelf. She does this in 5 s. What is Awanitaâ€™s power output? (Power: P = W/t) 4 W 8 W 40 W 800 W.

Hi there!

Begin by calculating the total work done on the object.

Recall:

$\large\boxed{W = \text{ F x d}}$

W = Work (J)

F = Net force (N)

d = displacement (m ⇒ must be parallel to direction of force for this equation to hold. Elsewise, W = Fdcosθ).

We can plug in the given displacement and force. Remember to convert 'cm to 'm'.

$W = 20 * 2= 40 J$

Now, use the following relationship for power:

$\large\boxed{W = Pt, P = \frac{W}{t}}$

Plug in the values:

$P = \frac{40}{5} = \boxed{ 8 \text{Nm/s}}$

The required power output to lift the items on the shelf is of 8 W.

Power:

The power associated with the applied force is defined as the rate of doing work on an object.

Given data:

The vertical distance above the ground is, h = 200 cm = 2 m.

The magnitude of force required to lift the box is, F = 20 N.

The time interval for the lifting is, t = 5 s.

The mathematical expression for the Power is,

P = W/t

here, W is the magnitude of work done. And its value is, W = F × h

Solving as,

P = F × h /t

P = 20 × 2 / 5

P = 8 W

Thus, we can conclude that the required power output to lift the items on the shelf is of 8 W.

In an LC circuit at one time the charge stored by the capacitor is 10 mC and the current is 3.0 A. If the frequency of the circu

Ronch [10]

Answer:

$i_2=3.61\ A$

Explanation:

<u>LC Circuit</u>

It's a special circuit made of three basic elements: The AC source, a capacitor, and an inductor. The charge, current, and voltage are oscillating when there is an interaction between the electric and magnetic fields of the elements. The following variables will be used for the formulas:

$q, q_1, q_2$ = charge of the capacitor in any time $t, t_1, t_2$

$q_o$ = initial charge of the capacitor

$\omega$ =angular frequency of the circuit

$i, i_1, i_2$ = current through the circuit in any time $t, t_1, t_2$

The charge in an LC circuit is given by

$q(t) = q_0 \, cos (\omega t )$

The current is the derivative of the charge

$\displaystyle i(t) = \frac{dq(t)}{dt} = - \omega q_0 \, sin(\omega t).$

We are given

$q_1=10\ mc=0.01\ c, i_1=3\ A,\ q_2=6\ mc=0.006\ c\ ,\ f=\frac{1000}{4\pi}$

It means that

$q(t_1) = q_0 \, cos (\omega t_1 )=q_1\ .......[eq 1]$

$i(t_1) = - \omega q_0 \, sin(\omega t_1)=i_1.........[eq 2]$

From eq 1:

$\displaystyle cos (\omega t_1 )=\frac{q_1}{q_0}$

From eq 2:

$\displaystyle sin(\omega t_1)=-\frac{i_1}{\omega q_0}$

Squaring and adding the last two equations, and knowing that

$sin^2x+cos^2x=1$

$\displaystyle \left ( \frac{q_1}{q_0} \right )^2+\left ( \frac{i_1}{\omega q_0} \right )^2=1$

Operating

$\displaystyle \omega^2q_1^2+i_1^2=\omega^2q_o^2$

Solving for $q_o$

$\displaystyle q_o=\frac{\sqrt{\omega^2q_1^2+i_1^2}}{\omega}$

Now we know the value of $q_0$ , we repeat the procedure of eq 1 and eq 2, but now at the second time $t_2$ , and solve for $i_2$

$\displaystyle \omega^2q_2^2+i_2^2=\omega^2q_o^2$

Solving for $i_2$

$\displaystyle i_2=w\sqrt{q_o^2-q_2^2}$

Now we replace the given values. We'll assume that the placeholder is a pi for the frequency, i.e.

$\displaystyle f=\frac{1}{4\pi}\ KHz$

$w=2\pi f=500\ rad/s$

$\displaystyle q_o=\frac{\sqrt{(500)^2(0.01)^2+3^2}}{500}$

$q_0=0.01166\ c$

Finally

$\displaystyle i_2=500\sqrt{0.01166^2-.006^2}$

$i_2=5\ A$

A light-year is the distance light travels in one year (at speed = 2.998 × 108 m/s). (a) how many meters are there in 11.0 light

larisa [96]

<span>The answers are as follows:

(a) how many meters are there in 11.0 light-years?

11.0 light years ( 365 days / 1 year ) ( 24 h / 1 day ) ( 60 min / 1 h ) ( 60 s / 1 min ) ( 2.998x10^8 m/s ) = 1.04x10^17 m

(b) an astronomical unit (au) is the average distance from the sun to earth, 1.50 × 108 km. how many au are there in 11.0 light-years?

1.04x10^17 m ( 1 au / </span>1.50 × 10^8 km <span>) ( 1 km / 1000 m) = 693329.472 au

(c) what is the speed of light in au/h? au/h

</span>2.998 × 10^8 m/s ( 1 au / 1.50 × 10^8 km ) ( 1 km / 1000 m) ( 3600 s / 1 h ) = 7.1952 au/h

PLEASE HELP FAST The object distance for a convex lens is 15.0 cm, and the image distance is 5.0 cm. The height of the object is

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The image height is 3.0 cm

Explanation:

Given;

object distance, $d_o$ = 15.0 cm

image distance, $d_i$ = 5.0 cm

height of the object, $h_o$ = 9.0 cm

height of the image, $h_i$ = ?

Apply lens equation;

$\frac{h_i}{h_o} = -\frac{d_i}{d_o}\\\\ h_i = h_o(-\frac{d_i}{d_o})\\\\h_i = -9(\frac{5}{15} )\\\\h_i = -3 \ cm$

Therefore, the image height is 3.0 cm. The negative values for image height indicate that the image is an inverted image.

A body is placed on a rough inclined plane. Why does the frictional force decrease with the increase of angle of inclination

kondor19780726 [428]

The frictional force is directly proportional to the force that is perpendicular on the surface.

When the body is placed on a horizontal level with zero inclination, the only force acting on the body is the gravitational force which always pulls the body down. The gravitational force, in this case, is the perpendicular force to the surface. Accordingly, this entire force is used to generate friction

Now as the inclination of the surface increases, the gravitational force is no longer the perpendicular force of the body, its value decreases, which means only a part is used to generate frictional force. Consequently, frictional force decreases.

When the inclination reaches 90 degrees, the gravitational force does not act along the normal and accordingly, no friction force is generated.
