What is difference between kilowatt and kilowatt hour?
Scrat [10]
Those two units can be compared to a 'mile per hour' and a 'mile per hour - hour'.
One is a rate.  The other is a quantity, after maintaining a rate for some time.

-- 'Joule' is a unit of energy.  It's the amount of work (energy) you do
when you push with a force of 1 newton though a distance of 1 meter.
Lifting 10 pound of beans 3 feet off the floor takes about 40.7 joules of energy.

-- 'Watt' is a <u><em>rate</em></u> of using energy . . . 1 joule per second.
If you lift 10 pounds 3 feet off the floor in 1 second, your <em>power</em> is 40.7 watts.

-- 'Watt-second' is the amount of energy used in one second,
at the rate of 1 joule per second . . . 1 joule.

-- 'Watt-hour' is the amount of energy used in one hour,
at the rate of 1 joule per second . . . 3,600 joules.

-- 'Kilowatt' is a bigger <em>rate</em> of using energy . . . 1,000 joules per second.

-- 'Kilowatt - second' is the amount of energy used in one second,
at the rate of 1,000 joules per second . . . 1,000 joules .

-- 'Kilowatt - hour' is the amount of energy used in one hour,
at the rate of 1,000 joules per second . . . 3,600,000 joules .

Depending on where you live, 3,600,000 joules of energy bought
from the electric company costs something between 5¢ and 25¢.

A plane lands on a runway with a speed of 115 m/s, moving east, and it slows to a stop in 13.0 s. What is the magnitude (in m/s2
marin [14]

Answer:

<em> The planes average acceleration in magnitude and direction = 8.846 m/s² moving east</em>

Explanation:

Acceleration: This can be defined as the rate of change of velocity. The S.I Unit of acceleration is m/s². Acceleration is a vector quantity because it can be represented both in magnitude and in direction.

Acceleration can be represented mathematically as

a = v/t.................................... Equation 1

Where a = acceleration, v = velocity, t= time.

<em>Given: v = 115 m/s, t = 13.0 s</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1</em>

<em>a = 115/13</em>

<em>a = 8.846 m/s² moving east</em>

<em>Thus the planes average acceleration in magnitude and direction = 8.846 m/s² moving east</em>

James Cameron piloted a submersible craft to the bottom of the Challenger Deep, the deepest point on the ocean's floor, 11,000 m
Over [174]

Answer:

4.1\cdot 10^8 N

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find the pressure exerted on the sphere, which is given by:

p=p_0 + \rho g h

where

p_0 =1.01\cdot 10^5 Pa is the atmospheric pressure

\rho = 1000 kg/m^3 is the water density

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration

h=11,000 m is the depth

Substituting,

p=1.01\cdot 10^5 Pa + (1000 kg/m^3)(9.8 m/s^2)(11,000 m)=1.08\cdot 10^8 Pa

The radius of the sphere is r = d/2= 1.1 m/2= 0.55 m

So the total area of the sphere is

A=4 \pi r^2 = 4 \pi (0.55 m)^2=3.8 m^2

And so, the inward force exerted on it is

F=pA=(1.08\cdot 10^8 Pa)(3.8 m^2)=4.1\cdot 10^8 N

A heat engine exhausts 3 000 J of heat while performing 1 500 J of useful work. What is the efficiency of the engine
amid [387]

efficiency=work output/work input×100

since it exhausts(use up)3000j of heat that's the work input and the 1500j is the work input

efficiency=1500/3000×100

=50%
