If the force applied to an object remains constant, is more power needed for the object to move faster ? Explain

Physics

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The power is defined as the work done (W) per unit of time (t):

P=\frac{W}{t}

this can be rewritten in another way: keeping in mind that the work is the product of force (F) and displacement (d): W=Fd and that the ratio between displacement (d) and time (t) is the velocity: v=\frac{d}{t}, we can rewrite the equation above as

P=\frac{Fd}{t}=F\frac{d}{t}=F\cdot v

So, the power is the product of force and velocity: therefore, if the force applied to an object is constant, we see that if we want to increase the velocity (v) we also need to use more power (P), because from the formula we see that P and v are directly proportional to each other.

What does it mean that a form of energy might take more energy to harness than it provides?
Elden [556K]
Inefficiency is a big struggle when it comes to renewable resources. A form of energy might take more energy to harness than it provides because the energy might dissipate. Energy transformation is never 100% conversion. Some of the energy dissipates in the form of heat.

At the moment car a is starting from rest and accelerating at 5.0 m/s2, car b passes it moving at a constant speed of 45m/s. how
Burka [1]
X=v(initial)t+.5(a)t^2. Car B's displacement can be represented by equation x=45t. Car A can be represented by the equation x=.5(5)t^2. Plug these equations into a graphing calc and find intercept, the x value is time, the y is displacement.

The reason most atoms undergo nuclear decay is because
natali 33 [55]
The reason most atoms undergo nuclear decay is to attain stability. Most elements with 84 or more electrons are unstable, so the nucleus of the elements decompose and undergo nuclear decay forming new elements with lower number of electrons.
