What is power?

Physics
2 answers:
Scrat [10]3 years ago
7 0

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 is the frequency of orange light is it has a wavelength of 6.2 x 10^-6<br> meters?
Tanya [424]

λ=v/f

λ-wavelength

v-speed

f-frequency

we have the wavelength(6.2 x 10^-6meters) and we use the speed of light which is equal to 3*10^8m/s

6.2*10^-6m=3*10^8m/s/f

f=(3*10^8m/s)/(6.2*10^-6)≈0.48*10^14Hz

When the acceleration of a mass on a spring is zero, the velocity is at a
Sergeu [11.5K]

1) Maximum

2) Maximum

Explanation:

The force acting on a mass on a spring is given by Hooke's law; in magnitude:

F=kx

where

F is the force

k is the spring constant

x is the displacement

Also we know from Newton's second law that we can write

F=ma

where

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

So we can write the equation as

ma=kx (1)

From this relationship, we see that the acceleration is directly proportional to the displacement.

On the other hand, we know that the total mechanical energy of the system mass-spring is constant, and it is given by

E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2=const. (2)

where the first term is the elastic potential energy while the second term is the kinetic energy, and where

v is the velocity of the mass

From eq. (2), it is clear that when displacement increases, velocity decreases, and vice-versa; however, from eq.(1) we also know that acceleration is proportional to the displacement.

Therefore this means that:

- When acceleration increases, velocity decreases

- When acceleration decreases, velocity increases

Therefore, the two answers here are:

- When the acceleration of a mass on a spring is zero, the velocity is at a  maximum

When the velocity of a mass on a spring is zero, the acceleration is at a  maximum
