One kilowatt hour (kWh) is the amount of work or energy generated when one kilowatt of power is supplied for a time of one hour.

A kilowatt hour is the unit of energy used by power companies when figuring your electric bill. Determine the number of joules of energy in one kilowatt hour.

The definition of Power tells us that it is the amount of Energy supplied during a certain period of time.

In this case 1 kWh is the amount of energy released during a period of 60 minutes to replace a given task.

In practical terms 1kW hour is the equivalent of one thousand Watts, that is

P = \frac{E}{t}

Where

P = Power

E = Energy

t = time

The power is equal to 1000W or 1000J/s through a hour, then

E = Pt

E = 1000\frac{J}{s}1hour (\frac{3600s}{1hour})

E = 3.6*10^6J

Therefore the number of Joules of energy in one Kilowatt hour are 3.6*10^6J

What happens to air pressure as altitude decreases
Ksivusya [100]
Pressure decreases with increasing altitude. The pressure at any level in the atmosphere may be interpreted as the total weight of the air above a unit area at any elevation. At higher elevations, there are fewer air molecules above a given surface than a similar surface at lower levels.

A car is running at the speed of 45km/hr see a child 25 meter ahead and suddenly apllies a brakes. If the retradation of the car
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The car stops in 7.78s and does not spare the child.

Explanation:

In order to know if the car stops before the distance to the child, you take into account the following equation:

x=x_o+v_ot-\frac{1}{2}at^2        (1)

vo: initial speed of the car = 45km/h

a: deceleration of the car = 2 m/s^2

t: time

xo: initial distance to the child = 25m

x: final distance to the child = 0m

It is necessary that the solution of the equation (1) for time t are real.

You first convert the initial speed to m/s, then replace the values of the parameters and solve the quadratic polynomial for t:

45\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1h}{3600s}*\frac{1000m}{1km}=12.5\frac{m}{s}

0=25+12.5t-2t^2\\\\2t^2-12.5t-25=0\\\\t_{1,2}=\frac{-(-12.5)\pm \sqrt{(-12.5)^2-4(2)(-25)}}{2(2)}\\\\t_{1,2}=\frac{12.25\pm 18.87}{4}\\\\t_1=7.78s\\\\t_2=-1.65s

You take the first value t1 because it has physical meaning.

The solution for t is real, then, the car stops in 7.78s and does not spare the child.

URGENTE ¿Cuál de los siguientes términos corresponde al concepto presión? * A. Es la fuerza perpendicular que ejerce un cuerpo s
melomori [17]

Answer:

Respuesta correcta, opción D: Es la fuerza que un cuerpo ejerce perpendicularmente sobre el área en la que actúa.

Explanation:

La definición de presión es la fuerza que un cuerpo ejerce en dirección perpendicular sobre el área en la que actúa.

Cuando se aplica una fuerza sobre la superficie de un cuerpo, la presión es la siguiente:

P = \frac{F}{A}

En donde:

F es la fuerza aplicada.

A es el área del cuerpo.  

Por lo tanto la opción correcta es la D: es la fuerza que un cuerpo ejerce perpendicularmente sobre el área en la que actúa.

Espero que se sea de utilidad!
