an object of mass 24 kg is accelerated on a frictionless plane inclined at an angle of 87 degree with the horizontal by a constant Force starting the bottom from the rest it covers a distance of 18 m in 30 second 1 what is the average power required to accomplish the process
Answers
Agriculture is the practice of cultivating plants and livestock. Agriculture was the key development in the rise of sedentary human civilization, whereby farming of domesticated species created food surpluses that enabled people to live in cities. The history of agriculture began thousands of years ago.
An object of mass 24kg is accelerated up a frictionless plane inclined at an angle of 37° with the horizontal by a constant force. Starting from rest it covers a distance of 18m in 3 sec. What is the average power needed to accomplish the process?
Since friction is assumed to be zero then there is no loss of energy in accelerating the 24 kg mass up an inclined plane. Its height needs to be solved first using the sine function of right triangles.
Solving for the height h
sin 37 = h/18 m
h = 18 m * sin 37
h = 10.8327 m
The mass of 24 kg is raised to a height of h so the amount of work is equal to m * g * h.
Solving for the work done
Work = 24 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 10.8327 m
Work = 2547.85 joules
Solving for the average power
AVG Power = Work /time
AVG Power = 2547.85 joules /3 s
AVG Power = 849.28 watts
The average power needed to accomplish the task is 849.28 watts.
