The power of an engine is a measure of A) the total amount of work it can perform.
B) the rate at which it can perform work.
C) its ability to outperform a horse.
D) its volume.

Astudent weighing 700 n climbs at constant speed to the top of an 8 m vertical rope in 10 s. the average power expended by the student to overcome gravity is most nearly

Aprotein molecule in an electrophoresis gel has a negative charge. the exact charge depends on the ph of the solution, but 30 excess electrons is typical. what is the magnitude of the electric force on a protein with this charge in a 1600n/c electric field? write in two significant numbers, and also in newton

Visualize the problem and identify special cases first examine the problem by drawing a picture and visualizing the motion. apply newton's 2nd law, ∑f⃗ =ma⃗ , to each body in your mind. don't worry about which quantities are given. think about the forces on each body: how are these consistent with the direction of the acceleration for that body? can you think of any special cases that you can solve quickly now and use to test your understanding later? one special case in this problem is if m2=0, in which case block 1 would simply fall freely under the acceleration of gravity: a⃗ 1=−gj^.
