<u>Answer:</u> Watt, a unit of power is equal to a joule divided by a second
<u>Explanation:</u>
Power is defined as the ratio of rate of work done by an object. It is measured in Watt.
Mathematically,
where,
W = work done by the object. It is measured in Joules
t = time taken by the object. It is measured in seconds
So, the unit of watt is equal to a joule divided by a second.
Hence, Watt, a unit of power is equal to a joule divided by a second

Answer:
UV light is more powerful as it has greater energy.
Explanation:
The energy propagated by electromagnetic waves ( light ) through vacuum or medium is known as electromagnetic radiation.
The frequency/wavelength range of electromagnetic radiation is known as electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum ranging from gamma ray to radio waves.
Frequency range of UV light = ( 8 x 10¹⁴ to 3 x 10¹⁶ ) Hz
Frequency range of Microwaves = ( 300 x 10⁶ to 300 x 10⁹ ) Hz
Ratio of UV light to Microwaves = ( to
)
= ( 2.66 x 10⁶ to 1 x 10⁸ )
Energy of electromagnetic radiation is given by the relation:
E = hν
Here h is plank's constant and ν is frequency.
UV light is more powerful than Microwaves as frequency of UV light is greater than frequency of microwaves. Thus, by the above equation, the energy of UV light is more than energy of Microwaves.
Answer:
0.087 m
Explanation:
Length of the rod, L = 1.5 m
Let the mass of the rod is m and d is the distance between the pivot point and the centre of mass.
time period, T = 3 s
the formula for the time period of the pendulum is given by
.... (1)
where, I is the moment of inertia of the rod about the pivot point and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
Moment of inertia of the rod about the centre of mass, Ic = mL²/12
By using the parallel axis theorem, the moment of inertia of the rod about the pivot is
I = Ic + md²
Substituting the values in equation (1)
12d² -26.84 d + 2.25 = 0
d = 2.15 m , 0.087 m
d cannot be more than L/2, so the value of d is 0.087 m.
Thus, the distance between the pivot and the centre of mass of the rod is 0.087 m.
