Here is your answer

5 watts

REASON :

Given,

t= 20 secs

F= 20 N

s (displacement)= 5m

Now,

Power= \frac{Work done}{time}

P= W/t ...... (i)

W= F×s×cos(theta)

W= 20×5 × 1 (theta is 0 degree; so cos0= 1)

W= 100 J

Hence,

P= 100/20 (from eq. i)

P= 5 watts

levacccp [35]

Answer:

Obviously Lengthen...   T = 2\pi \sqrt{L/g}   or   g = 4\pi ^{2} L/g

Explanation:

As we can observe from the equation, time period of a simple pendulum depends upon the length directly. When the gravitational acceleration increases the time period of the pendulum decreases and vice versa. So, by increasing the length, the time period can be adjusted...

A straight wire carries a current of 3 A which is in the plane of this page, pointed toward the top of the page. A particle of c
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

The magnitude of the magnetic force exerted on the moving charge by the current in the wire is 2.18 x 10^{-8} N

The direction of the magnetic force exerted on the moving charge by the current in the wire is radially inward

Explanation:

given information:

current, I = 3 A

q_{0} = +6.5 x 10^{-6} C

r = 0.05 m

v = 280 m/s

and direction of the magnetic force exerted on the moving charge by the current in the wire, we can use the following formula:

F = qvB sin θ

where

F = magnetic force (N)

q = electric charge (C)

v = velocity (m/s)

θ = the angle between the velocity and magnetic field

to find B we use

B = μ_{0}I/2πr

μ_{0} = 4π x 10^{-7} or 1.26 x 10^{-6} N/A^{2} , thus

B = 4π x 10^{-7} x 3 / 2π(0.05)

  = 1.2  x  10^{-5} T

Now, we can calculate the magnitude force

F = qvB sin θ

θ = 90°, because the speed and magnetic are perpendicular

F = 6.5 x 10^{-6} x 280  x 1.2 x  10^{-5} sin 90°

  = 2.18 x 10^{-8} N

Using the hand law, the magnetic direction is radially inward

Neha and Suhani are playing with two identical pendulums. They leave the bob from a certain position and wait for it to return t
Anika [276]

Answer:

The correct option is C

Explanation:

The pendulum bob would return at the same time because the initial angle a pendulum bob is dropped does not affect it's period (the time it takes for the pendulum to move back and forth), however the one with a larger angle move faster but would eventually arrive at the same "starting point" due to varying displacements made.

A floating leaf oscillates up and down two complete cycles in one second as a water wave passes by. The wave's wavelength is 10
postnew [5]

Answer:

C) 20 m/s

Explanation:

Wave: A wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium and transfers energy from one point to another, without causing any permanent displacement of the medium itself. Examples of wave are, water wave, sound wave, light rays, radio waves. etc.

The velocity of a moving wave is

v = λf ............................ Equation 1

Where v = speed of the wave, λ = wave length, f = frequency of the wave.

Given: f = 2 Hz (two complete cycles in one seconds), λ = 10 meters

Substituting these values into equation 1

v = 2×10

v = 20 m/s.

Thus the speed of the wave = 20 m/s

The right option is C) 20 m/s

A cart is driven by a large propeller or fan, which can accelerate or decelerate the cart. The cart starts out at the position x
mash [69]

Answer:

The acceleration of the cart is 1.0 m\s^2 in the negative direction.

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion:

Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2*a*x

2*a*x = Vf^2 - Vi^2

a = (Vf^2 - Vi^2)/ 2*x

Where Vf is the final velocity of the cart, Vi is the initial velocity of the cart, a the acceleration of the cart and x the displacement of the cart.

Let x = Xf -Xi

Where Xf is the final position of the cart and Xi the initial position of the cart.

x = 12.5 - 0

x = 12.5

The cart comes to a stop before changing direction

Vf = 0 m/s

a = (0^2 - 5^2)/ 2*12.5

a = - 1 m/s^2

The cart is decelerating

Therefore the acceleration of the cart is 1.0 m\s^2 in the negative direction.
