If 68 W of power is produced in 18 seconds, how much work is done?

Physics

Answer: 1224 joules

Explanation:

Given variables are:

Power (p) = 68 W

Time taken (t) = 18 seconds

work done (w) = ?

Recall that power is the rate of work done per unit time i.e Power is obtained by dividing the work done by the time taken.

Hence, Power = work / time

Make work the subject formula

work = power x time

work = 68 watts x 18 seconds

work = 1224 joules

Thus, 1224 joules of work is done.

DedPeter [7]
E                  S                                                               *

The "E" represents Earth, "S" represent Sun, and the "*" represents the nearest star(which is Proxima Centauri).

The main thing to worry about here is units, so ill label everything out.
D'e,s'(Distance between earth and sun) = .<span>00001581 light years
D'e,*'(Distance between earth and Proxima) = </span><span>4.243 light years

Now this is where it gets fun, we need to put all the light years into centimeters.(theres alot)
In one light year, there are </span>9.461 * 10^17 centimeters.(the * in this case means multiplication) or 946,100,000,000,000,000 centimeters.

To convert we multiply the light years we found by the big number.
D'e,s'(Distance between earth and sun) = 1.496 * 10^13 centimeters<span>
D'e,*'(Distance between earth and Proxima) = </span><span>4.014 * 10^18 centimeters
</span>
Now we scale things down, we treat 1.496 * 10^13 centimeters as a SINGLE centimeter, because that's the distance between the earth and the sun. So all we have to do is divide (4.014 * 10^18 ) by (<span>1.496 * 10^13 ).
Why? because that how proportions work.

As a result, you get a mere 268335.7 centimeters.

To put that into perspective, that's only about 1.7 miles

A lot of my numbers came from google, so they are estimations and are not perfect, but its hard to be on really large scales.</span>

What makes a clinical thermometer suitable for measuring small changes in body temperature? *
Nana76 [90]

Answer: Because of the fine bore of the tube.

Explanation:

Temperature is the degree of hotness and coldness. And thermometer is the instrument use to measure temperature.

The two most common types of themometric fluids for thermometer are alcohol and mercury.

What makes a clinical thermometer suitable for measuring small changes in body temperature is because of the fine bore of the tube which makes it possible for small temperature changes to cause large changes in the length of mercury columns, making the thermometer very sensitive to temperature changes.

The most prominent feature of the thermometer is the kink or constriction of bore near the bulb.

If you were on a ship at sea, and a tsunami passed under your ship, what would probably be your reaction? explain.
swat32
<span>Extremely powerful single waves have no effect on ships at sea since the depth of water allows the energy to be distributed over hundreds and thousands of feet. In deep water, the bigger the wave, the faster it moves and the slower the surface changes height. As the wave gets into shallow waters, it slows down and can start to pile up to large heights.</span>

Five hundred joules of heat are added to a closed system. The initial internal energy of the system is 87 J, and the final inter
Aleonysh [2.5K]

We can solve the problem by using the first law of thermodynamics:

\Delta U= Q-W

where

\Delta U is the variation of internal energy of the system

Q is the heat added to the system

W is the work done by the system

In this problem, the variation of internal energy of the system is

\Delta U=U_f-U_i=134 J-87 J=47 J

While the heat added to the system is

Q=500 J

therefore, the work done by the system is

W=Q-\Delta U=500 J-47 J=453 J
