Explanation:

The SI unit of power is the kilogram-meter2 per second cubed, which is called the watt (1 W = 1 kg-m2/s3). Since power is the energy used per unit of time, it is derived as the energy/time quotient.

Kelvin is a fundamental unit! It's a lot easier to measure temperature than to measure the motion of component particles. Hence, we can accept it as a fundamental quantity. Time is said to be a fundamental unit because it is not dependent on one or more units

What is difference between kilowatt and kilowatt hour?

Scrat [10]

Those two units can be compared to a 'mile per hour' and a 'mile per hour - hour'.
One is a rate. The other is a quantity, after maintaining a rate for some time.

-- 'Joule' is a unit of energy. It's the amount of work (energy) you do
when you push with a force of 1 newton though a distance of 1 meter.
Lifting 10 pound of beans 3 feet off the floor takes about 40.7 joules of energy.

-- 'Watt' is a rate of using energy . . . 1 joule per second.
If you lift 10 pounds 3 feet off the floor in 1 second, your power is 40.7 watts.

-- 'Watt-second' is the amount of energy used in one second,
at the rate of 1 joule per second . . . 1 joule.

-- 'Watt-hour' is the amount of energy used in one hour,
at the rate of 1 joule per second . . . 3,600 joules.

-- 'Kilowatt' is a bigger rate of using energy . . . 1,000 joules per second.

-- 'Kilowatt - second' is the amount of energy used in one second,
at the rate of 1,000 joules per second . . . 1,000 joules .

-- 'Kilowatt - hour' is the amount of energy used in one hour,
at the rate of 1,000 joules per second . . . 3,600,000 joules .

Depending on where you live, 3,600,000 joules of energy bought
from the electric company costs something between 5¢ and 25¢.

When the temperature of the air is 25 degress C, the velocity of a sound wave traveling through the air is approximately

dusya [7]

Assuming an ideal gas, the speed of sound depends on temperature
only. Air is almost an ideal gas.

Assuming the temperature of 25°C in a "standard atmosphere", the
density of air is 1.1644 kg/m3, and the speed of sound is 346.13 m/s.

The velocity can't be specified, since the question gives no information
regarding the direction of the sound.

The efficiency of the scissor is 200%.

Explanation:

Efficiency is defined as the ratio of output of any instrument or device or machine to the input supplied to it. So the greater the output the greater will be the efficiency of the device.

As here the work done by us on the system is said to be 10 J so this will be equal to the input work done on the system. And the work done by the system i.e., the scissor is 20 J, so this will be the output work.

So, the efficiency is the ratio of output to input as shown below.

Efficiency = $(\frac {20} {10} ) \times 100$ = 200

So, the efficiency of the scissor is 200%.

You are performing a knee extension exercise. You hold a 20kg weight at full knee extension. The weight is 0.4m from your knee j

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The moment is -78.4 N-m (clockwise).

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the object (m) = 20 kg

Distance of the object from the knee joint (d) = 0.4 m

Weight of leg is not considered.

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Now, weight of the object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration due to gravity. So,

Weight = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity

= $mg=20\times 9.8 =196\ N$

We know that, moment of a force about a point is defined as the product of force applied and the perpendicular distance between the point and the line of application of force.

Moment of the given weight about the knee joint is given as:

Moment about knee joint = Weight × Distance from knee joint to weight

Moment about knee joint = 196 × 0.4 = 78.4 Nm

Now, from the diagram below, we can observe that, the weight acts vertically down and thus the sense of rotation about the knee joint at point O is clockwise. So, moment is negative.

Therefore, the moment is -78.4 N-m (clockwise).
