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:
12.5 m/s
Explanation:
The motion of the hammer is a free fall motion, so a uniformly accelerated motion, therefore we can use the following suvat equation:
Where, taking downward as positive direction, we have:
s = 8 m is the displacement of the hammer
u = 0 is the initial velocity (it is dropped from rest)
v is the final velocity
is the acceleration of gravity
Solving the equation for v, we find the final velocity:
So, the final speed is 12.5 m/s.
