Power=work/time
power=50/20
50/20=2.5
Therefore A. 2.5 W

Which of the following characterizes Erik Erikson's identity versus role confusion stage?

andrew11 [14]

Identity vs. Role confusion is the 5th stage of Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development.

During this stage, adolescents try to explore their independence. They begin to get interested in social interaction and relationships. This is also the time they begin to feel confused and insecure about themselves trying to figure out how to fit in the group. This is the reason why they engage themselves in different roles and activities.

A hot air balloon must be designed to support a basket, cords, and one person for a total payload weight of 1300 N plus the addi

RSB [31]

Answer:

r = 4.44 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the Archimedes principle, which states that the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the dislodged fluid

B = ρ g V

Now let's use Newton's equilibrium relationship

B - W = 0

B = W

The weight of the system is the weight of the man and his accessories (W₁) plus the material weight of the ball (W)

σ = W / A

W = σ A

The area of a sphere is

A = 4π r²

W = W₁ + σ 4π r²

The volume of a sphere is

V = 4/3 π r³

Let's replace

ρ g 4/3 π r³ = W₁ + σ 4π r²

If we use the ideal gas equation

P V = n RT

P = ρ RT

ρ = P / RT

P / RT g 4/3 π r³ - σ 4 π r² = W₁

r² 4π (P/3RT r - σ) = W₁

Let's replace the values

r² 4π (1.01 10⁵ / (3 8.314 (70 + 273)) r - 0.060) = 13000

r² (11.81 r -0.060) = 13000 / 4pi

r² (11.81 r - 0.060) = 1034.51

As the independent term is very small we can despise it, to find the solution

r = 4.44 m

The mass of the Sun is 2 × 1030 kg, and the distance between Neptune and the Sun is 30 AU. What is the orbital period of Neptune

Veronika [31]

Kepler's third law states that, for a planet orbiting around the Sun, the ratio between the cube of the radius of the orbit and the square of the orbital period is a constant:
$\frac{r^3}{T^2}= \frac{GM}{4 \pi^2}$ (1)
where
r is the radius of the orbit
T is the period
G is the gravitational constant
M is the mass of the Sun

Let's convert the radius of the orbit (the distance between the Sun and Neptune) from AU to meters. We know that 1 AU corresponds to 150 million km, so
$1 AU = 1.5 \cdot 10^{11} m$
so the radius of the orbit is
$r=30 AU = 30 \cdot 1.5 \cdot 10^{11} m=4.5 \cdot 10^{12} m$

And if we re-arrange the equation (1), we can find the orbital period of Neptune:
$T=\sqrt{ \frac{4 \pi^2}{GM} r^3} = \sqrt{ \frac{4 \pi^2}{(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2} )(2\cdot 10^{30} kg)}(4.5 \cdot 10^{12} m)^3 }= 5.2 \cdot 10^9 s$

We can convert this value into years, to have a more meaningful number. To do that we must divide by 60 (number of seconds in 1 minute) by 60 (number of minutes in 1 hour) by 24 (number of hours in 1 day) by 365 (number of days in 1 year), and we get
$T=5.2 \cdot 10^9 s /(60 \cdot 60 \cdot 24 \cdot 365)=165 years$

A quarterback throws a football at 40km/hr to a receiver 50yd away. How much time does it take the ball to reach the receiver

Akimi4 [234]

Given:

Distance = 50 yard = 45.72 meter

Speed = 40 km/hr = 11.11 m/s

To find:

Time required by ball to reach the receiver = ?

Formula used:

speed = $\frac{distance}{time}$

Solution:

The speed of the ball is given by,

speed = $\frac{distance}{time}$

Thus,

Time = $\frac{distance}{speed}$

Distance = 50 yard = 45.72 meter

Speed = 40 km/hr = 11.11 m/s

Time = 4.12 second

Hence, ball reaches the receiver in 4.12 second.
