Answer:
a. F = 245 Newton.
b. Workdone = 392 Joules.
c. Power = 196 Watts
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Mass = 25kg
Distance = 1.6m
Time = 2secs
a. To find the force needed to lift the mass (in N );
Force = mass * acceleration
We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8
F = 25*9.8
F = 245N
b. To find the work done by the student (in J);
Workdone = force * distance
Workdone = 245 * 1.6
Workdone = 392 Joules.
c. To find the power exerted by the student (in W);
Power = workdone/time
Power = 392/2
Power = 196 Watts.
D. Light from the sun is reflected off the moon's surface
Yes, because you would need friction to slow down the rollercoaster to a stop.
Your "weight" is the name you give to that gravitational force.
So your question actually says:
"Your weight just got three times stronger !
What happens to your weight ?"
