Answer:

$Power=V\, I$ 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:

$Power=\frac{V\,Q}{t} =V\,\frac{Q}{t} = V\, I$

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".

An astronaut has a momentum of 280 kg and travels 10 m/s. what is the mass of the astronaut?

Kamila [148]

Answer:

The answer is

Explanation:

The mass of an object given it's momentum and velocity / speed can be found by using the formula

$m = \frac{p}{v} \\$

where

m is the mass

p is the momentum

v is the speed or velocity

From the question

p = 280 kg/ms

v = 10 m/s

The mass of the object is

$m = \frac{280}{10} = 28 \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

What is acceleration measured in?

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Calculating acceleration involves dividing velocity by time — or in terms of units, dividing meters per second [m/s] by second [s]. Dividing distance by time twice is the same as dividing distance by the square of time. Thus the SI unit of acceleration is the meter per second squared.

This I what it showed when I looked it up so if your writing this down try and put some in your own words

The gravitational force of a star on an orbiting planet 1 is f1. planet 2, which is three times as massive as planet 1 and orbit

Margaret [11]

Let us consider two bodies having masses m and m' respectively.

Let they are separated by a distance of r from each other.

As per the Newtons law of gravitation ,the gravitational force between two bodies is given as - $F = G\frac{mm'}{r^{2} }$ where G is the gravitational force constant.

From the above we see that F ∝ mm' and $F\alpha \frac{1}{r^{2} }$

Let the orbital radius of planet A is $r_{1}$ = r and mass of planet is $m_{1}$ .

Let the mass of central star is m .

Hence the gravitational force for planet A is $f_{1} =G \frac{m_{1}*m }{r^{2} }$

For planet B the orbital radius $r_{2} =2r_{1}$ and mass $m_{2} = 3 m_{1}$

Hence the gravitational force $f_{2} =G\frac{m m_{2} }{r^{2} }$

$f_{2} =G\frac{m*3m_{1} }{[2r_{1}] ^{2} }$

$= \frac{3}{4} G\frac{mm_{1} }{r_{1} ^{2} }$

Hence the ratio is $\frac{f_{2} }{f_{1} } = \frac{\frac{3}{4}G mm_{1/r_{1} ^2} }{Gmm_{1}/r_{1} ^2 }$

$=\frac{3}{4}$ [ ans]

Newtons second law in words??

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object

Explanation:

it's newton's second law
