Answer:

407 steps

Explanation:

From the question,

P = mgh/t........... Equation 1

Where P = power, m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height, t = time.

Make h the subject of the equation

h = Pt/mg............. Equation 2

Given: P = 746 W, t = 1 minute = 60 seconds, m = 70 kg.

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

h = 746(60)/(70×9.8)

h = 44760/686

h = 65.25 m

h = 6525 cm

number of steps = 6525/16

number of steps = 407 steps

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

428.59 N

Explanation:

Buoyant force, B=Vg\rho where V is volume, g is gravitational constant and \rho is density

B+F_{upward}=mg where F_{upward} is upward force

Vg\rho_{w}+F_{upward}=mg

F_{upward}=mg- Vg\rho_{w}

F_{upward}=g(mg- V\rho_{w})=g(m-m\frac {\rho_{w}{\rho_{hippo}} where \rho_{hippo} is the density of hippo

F_{upward}=mg(1-\frac {\rho_{w}}{\rho_{hippo}})

Using g as 9.81

F_{upward}=1500*9.81*(1-1000/1030)= 428.5922 N

Therefore, the upward force=428.59 N

Two students walk in the same direction along a straight path, at a constant speed one at 0.90 m/s and the other at 1.90 m/s. a.
creativ13 [48]

Answer: a) 456.66 s ; b) 564.3 m

Explanation: The time spend to cover any distance a constant velocity is given by:

v= distance/time so t=distance/v

The slower student time is: t=780m/0.9 m/s= 866.66 s

For the faster students t=780 m/1,9 m/s= 410.52 s

Therefore the time difference is 866.66-410.52= 456.14 s

In order to calculate the distance that faster student should  walk

to arrive 5,5 m before that slower student, we consider the follow expressions:

distance =vslower*time1

distance= vfaster*time 2

The time difference is 5.5 m that is equal to 330 s

replacing in the above expression we have

time 1= 627 s

time2 = 297 s

The distance traveled is 564,3 m

Jack tries to place magnets on his refrigerator at home, but they won’t stick. What could be the reason?
saul85 [17]
The most probable reason why the magnets won't stick on the refrigerator is that the body of the refrigerator and the magnets have like poles. If both have negative or both have positive poles facing each other, they will repel. In principle, magnets are attracted to opposite poles and like poles repel.

En la etiqueta de un bote de fabada de 350 g, leemos que su aporte energético es de 1630 kj por cada 100 g de producto a) La can
fredd [130]

Answer:

(a) 153.37 g

(b) 5705 kJ

Explanation:

(a) To find the amount of bean needed by a man you first calculate the equivalence in beans to 2500kJ

2500kJ*\frac{100g}{1630kJ}=153.37\ g

Thus, 153.37 g has the energy needed by a man that needs 200kJ per day.

(b) The amount of energy per pot of bean is given by:

E=350g*\frac{1630kJ}{100g}\\\\E=5705\ kJ

Thus, the energy is 5705kJ

You hang different masses M from the lower end of a vertical spring and measure the period T for each value of M. You use Excel
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

a)693.821N/m

b)17.5g

Explanation:

We the Period T we can find the constant k,

That is

T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

squaring on both sides,

T^2=\frac{4\pi^2}{k}M +\frac{4\pi^2}{k}m_{spring}

where,

M=hanging mass, m = spring mass,

k =spring constant

T =time period

a) So for the equation we can compare, that is,

y=T^2=0.0569x+0.0010

the hanging mass M is x here, so comparing the equation we know that

\frac{4\pi^2}{k}=0.0569\\k= \frac{4\pi^2}{0.0569}\\k=693.821N/m

b) In order to find the mass of the spring we make similar process, so comparing,

\frac{4\pi^2}{k}m =0.001\\m=\frac{0.004k}{4\pi^2} =\frac{0.001*693.821}{4\pi^2}\\m=0.0175kg\\m=17.5g
