An automobile engine delivers 47.4 hp. how much time will it take for the engine to do 6.82 × 105 j of work? one horsepower is e

kogti [31]

1 horsepower is equal to 746 W, so the power of the engine is
$P=47.4 hp \cdot 746 \frac{W}{hp}=35360 W$
The power is also defined as the energy E per unit of time t:
$P= \frac{E}{t}$
Where the energy corresponds to the work done by the engine, which is $E=6.82 \cdot 10^5 J$ . Re-arranging the formula, we can calculate the time t needed to do this amount of work:
$t = \frac{E}{P}= \frac{6.82 \cdot 10^5 J}{35360 W}=19.3 s$

A clay vase on a potter's wheel experiences an angular acceleration of 5.69 rad/s2 due to the application of a 16.0-n m net torq

Digiron [165]

The equivalent of the Newton's second law for rotational motions is:
$\tau = I \alpha$
where
$\tau$ is the net torque acting on the object
$I$ is its moment of inertia
$\alpha$ is the angular acceleration of the object.

Re-arranging the formula, we get
$I= \frac{\tau}{\alpha}$
and since we know the net torque acting on the (vase+potter's wheel) system, $\tau=16.0 Nm$ , and its angular acceleration, $\alpha = 5.69 rad/s^2$ , we can calculate the moment of inertia of the system:
$I= \frac{\tau}{\alpha}= \frac{16.0 Nm}{5.69 rad/s^2} =2.81 kg m^2$

Identify the person who made the correct statement.

dmitriy555 [2]

The answer is: [C]: Neither Juan nor Christina are correct.
_________________________________________________
Explanation:
_____________
Consider Juan's statement:
_______________________
"Juan said fossils deposits always contain only one type of organism."
__________________________
This statement is incorrect. There are many instances of fossil deposits containing more than one type of organism.
___________________________________
Consider Christina's statement.
___________________________________
"Christina said fossil deposits never contain one type of organism."
___________________________________________
This statement is incorrect. Fossil deposits, by definition (of "fossil") ALWAYS contain <u>at least one type</u> of organism.
___________________________________________
As such, neither Juan nor Christina are correct.
And as such, Answer choice: [C] is the correct answer.
_____________________
Answer choices A, B, and D are ruled out.
