Your answer should be 9.7 :)
<span>Power is measured in watts. A watt is the power that it takes to do one joule ofwork in one second. It can be found using the formula <span>P=<span>Wt</span></span>. (In this formula, W stands for "work.")</span><span><span>Large amounts of energy can be measured in kilowatts (<span>1kW=1×<span>103</span>W</span>), megawatts (<span>1MW=1×<span>106</span>W</span>), or gigawatts (<span>1GW=1×<span>109</span>W</span>).</span><span><span> This is helpful</span><span> This is confusing</span></span></span><span>The watt is named James Watt, who invented an older unit of power: the horsepower.</span>
The change in velocity is +4 m/s to the right (or -4 m/s to the left).
The object's mass is irrelevant.
Take a look at a simple reaction like the one below:
In this reaction some reactant A is turned into some product B. The rate of reaction can be represented by a decrease in concentration of A over time or as the increase of B over time. This is written:
The problem states that the distance travelled (d) is
directly proportional to the square of time (t^2), therefore we can write this in
the form of:
d = k t^2
where k is the constant of proportionality in furlongs /
s^2
<span>Using the 1st condition where d = 2 furlongs, t
= 2 s, we calculate for the value of k:</span>
2 = k (2)^2
k = 2 / 4
k = 0.5 furlongs / s^2
The equation becomes:
d = 0.5 t^2
Now solving for d when t = 4:
d = 0.5 (4)^2
d = 0.5 * 16
<span>d = 8 furlongs</span>
<span>
</span>
<span>It traveled 8 furlongs for the first 4.0 seconds.</span>
