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 pulley is assumed massless and frictionless and rotates freely about its axle. the blocks have masses m1=40g and a block m2= 2
Assoli18 [71]

The magnitude of acceleration of a block m₂ is 0.05 m/s² and the tension in the cord is 0.01 N.

Given:

mass of block 1, m₁ = 40 gm = 40×10⁻³ kg

mass of block 2, m₂ = 20 gm = 20×10⁻³ kg

Applied force, F = 0.03 N

Calculation:

Consider the free-body diagram of the system as shown below. Using Newton's second law of motion we get:

F = ma

where F is the applied force

            m is the total mass of the system

            a is the acceleration of block 2 (as it is pulled by horizontal force)

From the above equation we get:

0.03 N = (m₁+m₂) a

⇒ a = (0.03 N) / (m₁+m₂)

⇒ a = (0.03 N) / (40×10⁻³ kg + 20×10⁻³ kg)

⇒ a = 0.5 m/s²

Now, from the free-body diagram of block 2 as shown in figure 3, we get:

Balancing the forces along the horizontal:

∑Fₓ = 0

∴ T = m₂ a

where T is tension in the string

           a is the acceleration of block 2

Applying values in the above equation we get:

T = (20×10⁻³ kg) × (0.5 m/s²)

  = 0.01 N

Therefore, the acceleration of block 2 due to the applied horizontal force is 0.5 m/s² and the tension in the cord is 0.01 N.
