Hi there!

Recall the following relationships:

W = \Delta U = mg\Delta h\\\\P = \frac{W}{t}

W = Work (J)

U = Potential Energy (J)

m = mass (kg)

g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²)

h = height (m)

t = time (s)

Begin by calculating the work:

W = 50(10)(8) = 4000 J

Now, divide by the time to solve for power:

P = \frac{4000}{5} = \boxed{800W}

**W is the unit for power (Watts).  Be careful not to get the two confused.

Luden [163]

Answer:

1) a radio are uses by astronomy

2) 6 bilion waves

3) expert vertified

Explanation:

1) in contrast to an "ordinary" telescope, which receives visible light, a radio telescope "sees" radio waves emitted by radio sources, typically by means of a large parabolic ("dish") antenna, or arrays of them.and Radio telescopes are also the primary means to track space probes, and are used in the SETI project. so must been

radio are almostly

2) Radio waves have the longest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum.

3)Expert Verified

Radio telescopes are telescopes that are specially designed for observation of long light wavelengths

A car traveling at 23m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 7 seconds. What is the acceleration?
Lena [83]

The car has an initial velocity v_0 of 23 m/s and a final velocity v of 0 m/s. Recall that for constant acceleration,

v=v_0+at

The car stops in 7 s, so the acceleration is

0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}=23\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}+a(7\,\mathrm s)

\implies a\approx-3.29\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}
