Answer:

160 watts.

Explanation:

Remark

Power = Work / Time

Work = F * d

Note: Since he is running up stairs he is doing work against gravity.

Givens

m = 50000 g kg / 1000 grms
m = 50000 / 1000 = 50 kg
h = 4 m
time = 12.5 seconds
g = 10 m/s^2

Formula

P = W * d/t
W = m*g *d / t

Solution

P = 50kg * 10 m/s^2 * 4 m / 12.5
P = 160 watts.

10. Explain the principle of electric motor. Write its uses.

konstantin123 [22]

Explanation:

The principle of an electric motor is based on the current carrying conductor which produces magnetic field around it. A current carrying conductor is placed perpendicular to the magnetic field so that it experiences a force.

The largest electric motors are used for ship propulsion, pipeline compression and pumped-storage applications with ratings reaching 100 megawatts. Electric motors are found in industrial fans, blowers and pumps, machine tools, household appliances, power tools and disk drives.

The Sun has a mass of 1.99x10^30 kg and a radius of 6.96x10^8 m. Calculate the acceleration due to gravity, in meters per second

just olya [345]

Answer:

$g=274\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Mass of the Sun, $M=1.99\times 10^{30}\ kg$

The radius of the Sun, $r=6.96\times 10^8\ m$

We need to find the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Sun. It is given by the formula as follows :

$g=\dfrac{GM}{r^2}\\\\g=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.99\times 10^{30}}{(6.96\times 10^8)^2}\\\\g=274\ m/s^2$

So, the value of acceleration due to gravity on the Sun is $274\ m/s^2$ .

A skater slides across the ice with an initial velocity of 5.0 m/s. She slows 10 points

zvonat [6]

Explanation:

Given that,

The initial velocity of a skater is, u = 5 m/s

She slows to a velocity of 2 m/s over a distance of 20 m.

We can find the acceleration of skater. It is equal to the rate of change of velocity. So, it can be calculated using third equation of motion as follows :

$v^2-u^2=2as$
