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.

9. How does the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle relate to the lengths of the legs? (2 points)
konstantin123 [22]
<span>The pythagorean theorem addresses the length of the hypotenuse in relation to the length of the legs. The square root of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of one leg squared plus the other leg squared. In other words, A squared plus B squared equals C squared where A and B are the lengths of the legs of the triangle and C is the length of the hypotenuse.</span>

A plane travelling at 63 m/s[S] down a runway begins accelerating uniformly at 2.8 m/s?[S]. How far does it travel
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

270 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 63 m/s

a = 2.8 m/s²

t = 4.0 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (63 m/s) (4.0 s) + ½ (2.8 m/s²) (4.0 s)²

Δx = 274.4 m

Rounded to two significant figures, the displacement is 270 meters.

Distinguish between linear momentum and angular momentum.
Katarina [22]

Linear momentum is in a straight line and depends on the objects mass and velocity.

Angular (rotational) momentum depends on the objects mass, velocity, and radius.
