Answer:

C. 500 watts

Explanation:

power is defined as the rate of work done

$power=\frac{work.done}{time}$

When a force causes a object to move, work is being done on the object by the force.

$work.done=force*displacement\\=400*10\\=4000J$

$power=\frac{4000J}{8s}\\=500 W$

Two forces P and Q act on an object of mass 15.0 kg with Q being the larger of the two forces. When both forces are directed to

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

P=6.25N and Q=16.25N

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must first draw a free body diagram for both situation, (see attached picture).

Now, we need to analyze the two free body diagrams. So let's analyze the first diagram. Since the body is accelerated, then the sum of forces is equal to mass times acceleration, so we get:

$\Sigma F=ma$

We can assume there will be only the two mentioned forces P and Q, so

the sum of forces will be:

P+Q=ma

$P+Q=(15kg)(1.50m/s^{2})$

P+Q=22.5N

We can do the same analysis for the second free body diagram:

$\Sigma F=ma$

$Q-P=(15kg)(0.7m/s^{2})$

Q-P=10.5N

so now we have a system of equations we can solve by elimination:

Q+P=22.5N

Q-P=10.5N

Now, we can add the two equations together so the P force is eliminated, so we get:

2Q=32.5N

now we can solve for Q:

$Q=\frac{32.5N}{2}$

Q=16.25N

Now we can use any of the equations to find P.

Q+P=22.5N

P=22.5N-Q

when substituting for Q we get:

P=22.5N-16.25N

P=6.25N

A backyard swimming pool with a circular base of diameter 6.00m is filled to depth 1.50m. (b) Two persons with combined mass 150

Mashutka [201]

The pressure increase at the bottom of the pool after they enter the pool and float is 106.103 Pa.

<h3>What is absolute pressure?</h3>

Absolute pressure is the force that exists in a space when there is no matter present, or when there is a perfect vacuum. This absolute zero serves as the baseline for measurements in absolute pressure. The measurement of barometric pressure is the greatest illustration of an absolute referenced pressure. In order to determine absolute pressure, a complete vacuum is used. In contrast, gauge pressure is the amount of pressure that is measured in relation to atmospheric pressure, also referred to as barometric pressure.

given,

diameter = 6 m

depth = h = 1.5 m

Atmospheric pressure = P₀ = 10⁵ Pa

a) absolute pressure

P = P₀ + ρ g h

P = 10⁵ + 1000 x 10 x 1.5

P = 1.15 x 10⁵ Pa

b) When two person enters into the pool,

mass of the two person = 150 Kg

weight of water level displaced exists equal to the weight of person.
