Two people carry identical 40.0 N boxes up a ramp. The ramp is 2.00 m long and rests on a platform that is 1.0 m high. One perso

n walks up the ramp in 2.0 s and the other person walks up the ramp in 4.0 s. What is the difference in the power the two people use to carry the boxes up the ramp

Answer:

Difference in power = 30 W

Explanation:

Power: This is the rate at which energy is used. The S.I unit of power is Watt.

From the question,

P = W×(L+h)/t

Where, W = weight of the box, L  = length of the ramp, h = height of the platform, t = time.

For the first person,

P₁ = W(L+h)/t₁............... Equation 1

Where, W = 40 N, L = 2 m, h = 1 m, t₁ = 2 s

Substitute into equation 1

P₁ = 40(2+1)/2

P₁ = 20(3)

P₁ = 60 W.

For the second person,

P₂ = W(L+h)/t₂.................. Equation 2

Given: W = 40 N, L = 2 m, h = 1 m, t₂ = 4 s

Substitute into equation 2

P₂ = 40(2+1)/4

P₂ = 10(3)

P₂ = 30 W

Difference in power = P₁-P₂ = 60-30 = 30 W

The density of aluminum is 2.7 × 103 kg/m3 . the speed of longitudinal waves in an aluminum rod is measured to be 5.1 × 103 m/s.
andrey2020 [161]
<span>The speed of longitudinal waves, S, in a thin rod = âšYoung modulus / density , where Y is in N/m^2. So, S = âšYoung modulus/ density. Squaring both sides, we have, S^2 = Young Modulus/ density. So, Young Modulus = S^2 * density; where S is the speed of the longitudinal wave. Then Substiting into the eqn we have (5.1 *10^3)^2 * 2.7 * 10^3 = 26.01 * 10^6 * 2.7 *10^6 = 26.01 * 2.7 * 10^ (6+3) = 70.227 * 10 ^9</span>

Susie walks 3 blocks north to the local CVS store, then 4 blocks east to her grandmother’s house. She then walks 2 blocks west a
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Suzie is 3 blocks north of where she started

Explanation:

Displacement is the minimum distance between the initial and final point of motion.

Here, Suzie first walks 3 blocks north. From there she walks 4 blocks east. Then 2 blocks to the east then 2 blocks north and then 2 blocks east. She covered 4 blocks east toward west. This is the same distance she covered traveling east. But she is 2 blocks north. From there she traveled a block south to the pizzeria and another block to her friends house. She covered the two block she had traveled north.

Hence, Suzie is 3 blocks north of where she started.

Think about how geothermal energy is captured and used. Explain how geothermal energy shows the flow of thermal energy from hot
kumpel [21]

Answer:

People can capture geothermal energy through: Geothermal power plants, which use heat from deep inside the Earth to generate steam to make electricity. Geothermal heat pumps, which tap into heat close to the Earth's surface to heat water or provide heat for buildings

When the weather is cold, the water or refrigerant heats up as it travels through the part of the loop that's buried underground. Once it gets back above ground, the warmed water or refrigerant transfers heat into the building. The water or refrigerant cools down after its heat is transferred.
