What is power?

Physics

Scrat [10]4 years ago

This question asks you what power is.

Your answer would be B) Power is the rate at which work is done

Power is not the amount of work that is being placed, but is a rate that could be measured.

For example, when you use more power, you would get things done more quickly. When you use less power, you get things done less quickly.

A visual example of the rate of power is charging an electric car. The more power you use to charge the car, the more quicker the car gets charged.

People mistakenly get mixed up with answer choice A, due to the fact that they see the word "rate", but the rest of the statement is false.

Therefore, answer choice B) Power is the rate at which work is done would be the correct answer.

What happens to the density of a given substance if you increase the amount of the substance that you have?
Amanda [17]
Have you ever looked up the density of a substance ?  You ought to try it.  Go ahead. Pick a substance, then go online or open up an actual book and find its density.  You will never see any particular volume mentioned along with the density . . . because it doesn't matter.  The whole idea of density is that it describes the substance, no matter how much or how little you have of it.  The density of a tiny drop of water under a microscope is the same as the density of a supertanker-ful of water.

1)why do we get electric shock while holding a live wire barefooted and not when wearing rubber shoes?
katrin2010 [14]
Electricity is always going to take the path of least resistance to ground. The rubber in your shoes is not a conductor of electricity, therefore you are not completing the circuit and you don't get shocked. Your bare feet, on the other hand ARE conductors of electricity, so when you hold the wire, you complete the circuit and become the path of least resistance to ground... ZAP!

an Olympic runner leaps over a hurdle.if the runner initial vertical speed is 2.2m/s how much will the runners center of mass be
Snowcat [4.5K]
Supposing the runner is condensed to a point and moves upward at 2.2 m/s.
It takes a time = 2.2/g = 2.2/9.8 = 0.22 seconds to increase to max height. 
Now looking at this condition in opposite - that is the runner is at max height and drops back to earth in 0.22 s (symmetry of this kind of motion). 
From what height does any object take 0.22 s to fall to earth (supposing there is no air friction)? 
d = 1/2gt²= (0.5)(9.8)(0.22)²= 0.24 m

calculate the diameter of a silver wire of length 75cm , which is extended by 1.85mm when a 10kg mass is suspended from it's end
sdas [7]

Answer:0.8\ mm

Explanation:

Given

length of wire l=75\ cm

change in length \Delta l=1.85\ mm

mass of wire m=10\ kg

Young's modulus for silver E=7.9\times 10^{10}\ N/m^2

load on wire F=mg

F=10\times 9.8=98\ kg

change in length is given by

\Delta l=\dfrac{Pl}{AE}

Where A=area of cross-section

A=\dfrac{Pl}{\Delta lE}

A=\dfrac{98\times 0.75}{1.85\times 10^{-3}\times 7.9\times 10^{10}}

A=\dfrac{73.5}{14.615\times 10^{7}}

A=5.029\times 10^{-7}\ m^2

also wire is the shape of cylinder so cross-section is given by

A=\dfrac{\pi d^2}{4}=5.029\times 10^{-7}\ m^2

\Rightarrow d^2=\dfrac{5.029\times 10^{-7}\times 4}{\pi }

\Rightarrow d^2=64.02\times 10^{-8}

\Rightarrow d=8\times 10^{-4}\ m

\Rightarrow d=0.8\ mm
