What is power in physics​

Physics

Shkiper50 [21]3 years ago

Edit

In physics, power is the rate of doing work or of transferring heat, i.e. the amount of energy transferred or converted per unit time. Having no direction, it is a scalarquantity. In the International System of Units, the unit of power is the joule per second (J/s), known as the watt in honour of James Watt, the eighteenth-century developer of the condenser steam engine. Another common and traditional measure is horsepower (comparing to the power of a horse). Being the rate of work, the equation for power can be written:

Power

Derivations from

other quantities

P = E/t

P = F·v

P = V·I

P = T·ω

As a physical concept, power requires both a change in the physical system and a specified time in which the change occurs. This is distinct from the concept of work, which is only measured in terms of a net change in the state of the physical system. The same amount of work is done when carrying a load up a flight of stairs whether the person carrying it walks or runs, but more power is needed for running because the work is done in a shorter amount of time.

What must be the reaction force when someone hits a tree with an axe?
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer: The correct option is that the axe handle applying a force to the person's hand.

Explanation:

This reaction force is due to Newton's third law of motion. This law states that for every action there is equal and opposite reaction to it. This implies that when a force is being exerted on a surface, the surface must exert a force that is equal and opposite in direction to the exerting force. This law represents a certain symmetry in nature that forces always occur in pairs, and one body cannot exert a force on another without experiencing a force itself.

A typical example of Newton's third law includes:

--> When you hit a tree with an axe: with your hand you exert a force on the tree with the intention to cut it down(action force). The same force you excreted on the tree would be felt in your hands (reaction force).

--> when air rushes out of a balloon: when air escapes for a balloon, the opposite reaction is that the balloon flies up.

Please answer the questions... I will surely mark you as the brainliest according to me :)
frutty [35]

Answer:

(a) You can tell that have the same strength because they have attracted the same amount of paper clips.

(b) Iron is used in electromagnets because steel retained magnetic properties after the power was turned off, but in the iron, the paper clips dropped off right away.
