Answer:

The right option is (A) V.A

Explanation:

Power: This is the rate at which work is done. Or it is the produce of force and velocity. The S.I unit of power is Watt (W). Other units include Horse power(hp), foot-pound per minutes, etc.

Generally, power can be represented as,

Power = Energy/time

P = W/t......................... Equation 1

Where p = power, w = Work or energy, t = time in seconds.

Electrical energy: This is the product of potential difference and the quantity of charge.

∴ W = VQ............................... Equation 2

Where V = potential difference, Q = quantity of charge and W = Energy or Work done.

Also Q = It........................ Equation 3.

where I = current in ampere, t = time in seconds

Substituting equation 3 into equation 3

W = VIt............................ Equation 4.

Also substituting Equation 4 into Equation 1

P = VIt/t = VI = voltage(V)×Current(A)

Therefore the equivalent unit of power is

P = V.A.

The right option is (A) V.A

A 62.0-kg athlete leaps straight up into the air from a trampoline with an initial speed of 9.6 m/s. The goal of this problem is

pochemuha

Answer:

2856.96 J

$\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2+mgh_i=\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2+mgh_f$

6.78822 m/s

Explanation:

$v_i$ = Initial velocity = 9.6 m/s

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = Height

The athlete only interacts with the gravitational potential energy. Air resistance is neglected.

At height y = 0

Kinetic energy

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}\times 62\times 9.6^2\\\Rightarrow K=2856.96\ J$

At height y = 0 the potential energy is 0 as

$P=mgy\\\Rightarrow P=mg0=0$

At maximum height her velocity becomes 0 so the kinetic energy becomes zero.

As the the potential and kinetic energy are conserved

The general equation

$K_i+P_i=K_f+P_f\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2+mgh_i=\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2+mgh_f$

Half of maximum height

$\\\Rightarrow mgh_i+\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2=mg\frac{h_i}{2}+\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow gh_i=g\frac{h_i}{2}+\frac{1}{2}v^2\\\Rightarrow g\frac{h_i}{2}=\frac{1}{2}v^2\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{gh}$

$h_i=\frac{v_i^2}{2g}$

$v=\sqrt{gh}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{g\times \frac{v_i^2}{2g}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{v_i^2}{2}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{9.6^2}{2}}\\\Rightarrow v=6.78822\ m/s$

The velocity of the athlete at half the maximum height is 6.78822 m/s

What is electrical conductivity?

Luda [366]

Answer:

Electrical resistivity and its inverse, electrical conductivity, is a fundamental property of a material that quantifies how strongly it resists or conducts electric current. A low resistivity indicates a material that readily allows electric current. Resistivity is commonly represented by the Greek letter ρ.

Only the smallest particles of soil can be displaced by suspension because

mote1985 [20]

The choices can be found elsewhere and as follows:

a. they are so small that they stay close to the ground due to the attractive properties of charged soil particles.

b. they are easily carried by the wind.

c. they easily dissolve in liquid droplets.

d. it is easier for then to roll along the small crevices in the ground.

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. Only the smallest particles of soil can be displaced by suspension because they are so small that they are easily carried by the wind. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.
