In order to keep a leaking ship from sinking, it is necessary to pump 12.0 lb of water each second from below deck up a height of 2.00 m and over the side. What is the minimum horse- power motor that can be used to save the ship?

P = 0.14 hp

Explanation:

The power required by the ship is given as:

where,

P = Power = ?

m = mass to pump = (12 lb)(1 kg/2.20 lb) = 5.44 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = height = 2 m

t = time = 1 s

Therefore,

Converting to horsepower (hp):

P = 0.14 hp

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
