Homework Statement
Some of these questions are easy and I just want to make sure i"m right. Others are pretty hard for me. Please only do a few problems because there are a lot and i don't want to overload anyone. If several people could help me by each doing a few problems it wouldn't be a hassle for you guys and would be a huge help for me. Thanks in advance. You can show me how you got the answer if you would like, but again there are a lot of problems so if you don't have time don't worry about showing the work. Thanks.
1. A 1000 kilogram sports car accelerates from rest to 25.0 m/s in 7.5 seconds. What is the average power output of the automobile engine. Choices: A. 20.8 KW, B. 30 KW, C. 41 KW, or D. 52.4 KW I believe the answer is C but I'm not sure.
2.The more powerful the motor is A. The longer the time interval for doing the work is. B. the shorter the time interval for doing the work is. C. the greater the ability to do work is. or D. the shorter the workload is. I believe the answer is C to this, but again not 100% sure.
3. A hill is 100 meters long and makes an angle of 12 degrees with the horizontal. As a 50 kilogram jogger runs up the hill how much work does gravity do on the jogger? A. 50,000 J, B. 10,000 J, C. -10,000 J, or D. 0 J I believe the answer is a.
4. A flight attendant pulls a 50.0 N flight bad a distance of 250 meters along a level airport floor at a constant speed.
