Power is the RATE at which energy changes or flows.

The unit of energy is the Joule, so a unit of power is the Joule/second.

That unit has the special name "Watt".

Your question is not necessarily a question. It's also a statement, You could write

"Watt's the basic unit of the measurement of power".

An airplane starts from rest and accelerates at a constant rate of 3.00 m/s2 for 30.0 s before leaving the ground. a. How far di

rosijanka [135]

The formula we can use in this case is:

d = v0t + 0.5 at^2

v = at + v0

where,

d = distance travelled

v0 = initial velocity = 0 since at rest

t = time travelled

a = acceleration

v = final velocity when it took off

a. d = 0 + 0.5 * 3 * 30^2

d = 1350 m

b. v = 3 * 30 + 0

v = 90 m/s

An electric field is produced by the very long, uniformly charged rod drawn above. If the strength of the electric field is E1 a

Debora [2.8K]

Answer: hello the complete question is attached below

answer :

r2 = 4r1

Explanation:

Electric field strength = F / q

we will assume the rod has an infinite length

For an infinitely charged rod

E ∝ 1/ r

considering two electric fields E1 and E2 at two different locations as described in the question

E1/E2 = r1/r2 ----- ( 2 )

Calculate for r2 when E2 = E1/4

back to equation 2

E1 / (E1/4) = r1 / r2

∴ r2 = 4r1

A 0.0450 kg bullet is accelerated from rest to a speed of 425 m/s in a 2.25 kg rifle (which is inititally at rest). The pain of

Mrac [35]

Answer:

If the rifle is held loosely away from the shoulder, the recoil velocity will be of -8.5 m/s, and the kinetic energy the rifle gains will be 81.28 J.

Explanation:

By momentum conservation, and given the bullit and the recoil are in a straight line, the momentum analysis will be unidimentional. As the initial momentum is equal to zero (the masses are at rest), we have that the final momentum equals zero, so

$0=P_{f}=m_{b} *v_{b}+m_{r}*v_{r}$

now we clear $v_{r}$ and use the given data to get that

$v_{r}=-8.5\frac{m}{s}$

But we have to keep in mind that the bullit accelerate from rest to a speed of 425 m/s, then if the rifle were against the shoulder, the recoil velocity would be a fraction of the result obtained, but, as the gun is a few centimeters away from the shoulder, it is assumed that the bullit get to its final velocity, so the kick of the gun, gets to its final velocity $\bold{v_{r}}$ too.

Finally, using $v_{r}$ we calculate the kinetic energy as

$K=\frac{1}{2}m_{r}v_{r}^{2}=81.28J$

For a closed system, entropy Group of answer choices may be produced within the system. all of the answers are correct. may be t

wolverine [178]

Answer:

The answer is: all of the answers are correct.

Explanation:

Entropy is defined as the magnitude of the irreversibilities of a process. Entropy is the disorder of molecules within a system. If the system is closed, entropy is produced if the process is irreversible. If the system is subjected to expansions or energy transfer, the entropy increases.

A process is reversible if the system and its surroundings are returned to their initial states. In a quasi-static process it is characterized by being a reversible process in which there are no irreversibilities. The entropy in this system is constant in the system.
