Power is the rate at which energy is consumed. When 1 J of energy is consumed in one second, the power consumed is 1 watt.
The microwave consumes 1.5 kJ of energy.
In joules, the energy consumed is 1500 J
Here, E is the energy consumed in time interval <em>t.</em>
The power rating of the microwave is therefore,
Thus, the power rating of the oven is 1500 W or 1.5 kW
This is a defective, misleading question, and should never be asked in a Physics class.
There is no such thing as the force due to the impact.
If you know how long it takes the clam to stop once it begins to hit the dirt,
then you can calculate the impulse transferred to it, and tease a force out
of that. But the question doesn't give us the time.
It depends on the material of the surface. Was the clam dropped onto dirt ?
Into a dumpster ? Onto grass ? Concrete ? Styrofoam ? Mud ? The answer
is different in each case, and we still need to know the short length of time
AFTER it first encountered whatever surface brought it to rest.
I would kick this question back to the Physics teacher. It's meaningless,
and the longer you try to work on it, the more nonsense you'll plant into
your head that'll need to be dug out later.
Answer:
-10 m/s²
Explanation:
a = Δv / Δt
a = (20 m/s − 50 m/s) / 3 s
a = -10 m/s²
Cell phones may be radioactive.Maybe this is the reason???.
