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 rate of using energy . . . 1 joule per second.
If you lift 10 pounds 3 feet off the floor in 1 second, your power 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 rate 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¢.

The 1.5kg ball is launched straight upward with an initial velocity of 7m/s. What is the maximum height it will reach?

Temka [501]

Answer:

h = 2.5 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a ball, m = 1.5 kg

Initial velocity of the ball, u = 7 m/s

We need to find the maximum height reached by the ball. Let it is be h. Using the conservation of energy to find it such that,

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2\\\\h=\dfrac{u^2}{2g}$

Put all the values,

$h=\dfrac{7^2}{2\times 9.8}\\\\=2.5\ m$

So, it will reach to a height of 2.5 m.

PROJECTILE MOTION-Why isn't there any accelertion in the x direction while there is an acceleration of -g in the y direction? ..

Ahat [919]

There is no acceleration of g in the x direction because the gravitational acceleration points downward. Also, on most studies we ignore the tidal forces since we are dealing with small bodies compared to the size of the earth.

Unpolarized light with an intensity of 22.4 ????ux passes through a polarizer whose transmission axis is vertically oriented. (a

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

a) I₁ = 11.2 Lux , vertical direction , b) I₂ = 1.44 Lux

Explanation:

a) A polarized is a system that absorbs light that is not polarized in the direction of its axis, therefore half of the non-polarized light must be absorbed

consequently the above the processed light has half of the incident intensity and the directional of the polarized

I₁ = I₀ / 2

I₁ = 22.4 / 2

I₁ = 11.2 Lux

is polarized in the vertical direction

b) The polarized light falls on a second polarizer, therefore it must comply with the law of Malus

I₂ = I₁ cos² θ

I₂ = 11.2 cos² 69

I₂ = 1.44 Lux
