746 joules per second = 746 watts = 1 horsepower
340 joules per second = 340 watts = (340/746) = <em>0.456 horsepower</em>
Power is a RATE or a SPEED of doing work.
How long you do it doesn't matter.
Just like 30 miles per hour doesn't change whether you do it for an hour or for 10 minutes.
Answer:
2 x 10^10
Explanation:
solution:
We know v0 = 0, a = 9.8, t = 4.0. We need to solve for v
so,
we use the equation:
v = v0 + at
v = 0 + 9.8*4.0
v = 39.2 m/s
Now we just need to solve for d, so we use the equation:
d = v0t + 1/2*a*t^2
d = 0*4.0 + 1/2*9.8*4.0^2
d = 78.4 m
Answer: Around 364 to 480
