if you plug in your electrical heater in for 15.0 minutes and then in the process used 16,000 J how much power did you use

         Power  =  (energy)  /  (time)

BUT ... it has to be joules and seconds.

       (15 minutes) x (60 sec/min) = 900 seconds

             Power  =  (energy)  /  (time)

                       =  (16,000 J)  /  (900 seconds)

                       =     (16,000 / 900)        joule/sec

                       =     (17 and 7/9) watts.

That's not much for a 'heater'.

A typical SMALL heater pours out like 1200 watts or 1500 watts.

A company that sells heaters that only put out 17 watts
won't be able to sell many of them, because they're 
pretty useless as heaters.

Maybe they could be used as aquarium heaters, or as
hamster-cage heaters.

A ball is dropped from rest. how fast is the ball going after 3 seconds​
Airida [17]

Answer:

v = 29.4m/s

Explanation:

Since the ball is dropped at rest,

u = 0m/s

a = 9.81m/s²

Using

v = u + at

After 3 seconds,

v = 0 + (9.81)(3)

v = 29.4m/s

Gravity on the moon is about 1/6 th the gravity felt on the earth. This is because A) the moon is so far away from the earth. B)
ankoles [38]
<span>So we want to know why is there a difference between the force of gravity on the Moon and the force of gravity of the Earth. So the gravitational force between two objects depends on the masses of both objects. That can be seen from Newtons universal law of gravity. F=G*m1*m2*(1/r^2). So lets say we are holding an object of mass m=1kg on a height r=1m on the Moon and we are holding the same object on the Earth also on the same height of r=1m. The Gravitational force on the Earth will be Fg=G*M*m*(r^2) where M is the mass of the Earth. The force between the moon and that object will be Fg=G*n*m*(r^2), where n is the mass of the moon. Since mass of the Moon is much smaller than mass of the Earth, The gravitational force between the Moon and that body will be almost 6 times smaller than the gravitational force between the Earth and that body. So the correct answer is B. </span>
