Which statement correctly defines power?
1 answer:
Answer:
which corresponds to the second option shown: "voltage times amperage"
Explanation:
The electric power is the work done to move a charge Q across a given difference of potential V per unit of time.
Since such electrical work is the product of the potential difference V times the charge that moves through that potential, and this work is to be calculated by the unit of time, we need to divide the product by time (t) which leads to the following final simple equation:
Notice that we replaced the quotient representing charge per unit of time (Q/t) by the actual current running through the circuit.
This corresponds to the second option shown in the question: "Voltage times amperage".

Answer:
the acceleration of the airplane is 5.06 x 10⁻³ m/s²
Explanation:
Given;
initial velocity of the airplane. u = 34.5 m/s
distance traveled by the airplane, s = 46,100 m
final velocity of the airplane, v = 40.7 m/s
The acceleration of the airplane is calculated from the following kinematic equation;
v² = u² + 2as
Therefore, the acceleration of the airplane is 5.06 x 10⁻³ m/s²
Newton's second law states that the resultant of the forces applied to an object is equal to the product between the object's mass and its acceleration:
where in our problem, m is the mass the (child+cart) and a is the acceleration of the system.
We are only concerned about what it happens on the horizontal axis, so there are two forces acting on the cart+child system: the force F of the man pushing it, and the frictional force
acting in the opposite direction. So Newton's second law can be rewritten as
or
since the frictional force is 15 N and we want to achieve an acceleration of
, we can substitute these values to find what is the force the man needs:
