Answer:

Explanation:

The rate of doing work is defined as power. The formula of power is given by

Power = work / time

It's SI unit is watt.

It is a scalar quantity.

A child throws a baseball directly upward. What are the signs of the velocity and acceleration of the ball at the very top of th
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

velocity zero and acceleration negative

Explanation:

According to the directions taken in the vector analysis, the direction which is upwards taken as positive, the direction which is downwards is taken as negative.

The direction which is rightwards taken as positive and the direction which is leftwards taken as negative.

here, ball throws vertically upwards and it attains a maximum height. At maximum height the magnitude of velocity is zero but the acceleration is always acting downwards so it is taken as negative in sign.

A stone is dropped from a bridge 45 meters above the surface river. It takes the stone 4.6 seconds to reach the water surface. F
Hunter-Best [27]
The most interesting thing about this problem is that in order to use all of the given information, you need to ignore the laws of Physics, and never mind what the stone would really do if dropped from a real bridge in the real world.

Average velocity = (displacement) / (time for the displacement)

Displacement =
        Straight path from the start point to the finish point  =  45 meters down .
Time = 4.6 seconds

Average velocity  =  45/4.6 = <em>9.783 meters/second down</em>

==================================

In the real world, a dropped stone would only take  3.03  seconds
to fall 45 meters.

Alternatively, a stone that fell for  4.6 seconds from rest would fall
103.7 meters, with an average velocity of  22.5 meters/second down.

But we accepted the given information, and did the best we could do
with it.

<u>Order sequence of steps that are involved in the production of work by a four-stroke heat engine as follows: </u>

  • Piston moves down, allowing fuel-air mixture to enter intake valve
  • Piston moves up, compressing gas and causing gas to increase its temperature
  • Combustion as gas is still compressed; increase in energy from combustion pushes piston down
  • Piston moves up, pushing burned gases through exhaust valve: Spark plug fires, causing

Answer: Options D, A, C and B

<u>Explanation: </u>

There are four basic steps of a four stroke engine- Intake, Combustion, Power and Exhaust. The first step is the intake of air plus fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. At this time, the piston moves down. Now when the chamber is closed, the spark plug ignites fire which expands the fuel gases.

The gases push down, piston and crankshaft rotates in this way. Once the gases the combustion is done, there is plenty of space in the chamber that makes the piston moves up. In this way a complete cycle is completed and the crankshaft moves. That’s the working of this four stroke engines.
