Real-world examples of power

1 answer:

3 0

By definition, power is the amount of energy consumed (or produced) in a second. (or more precisely, it is the rate of change in energy).
so anything which uses energy in a known time period can be labeled with a power rating.

an example for power could be a nuclear plant; traditional nuclear plants produce somewhat close to 1 giga watts (which means 1 giga joules in a second)

The weight of a body of certain mass becomes zero in space.why?write with reasons

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Weight is what you get when a certain amount of gravity is acting on that mass, and something, like the surface of a planet, is resisting that action. In space, when falling freely, there's nothing resisting the pull of gravity so weight disappears. Mass however stays.

When you irradiate a metal with light of wavelength 433 nm in an investigation of the photoelectric effect, you discover that a

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

The right solution is:

(a) 2.87 eV

(b) 1.4375 eV

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength,

= 433 nm

Potential difference,

= 1.43 V

Now,

(a)

The energy of photon will be:

E = $\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{433\times 10^{-9}}$

= $4.59\times 10^{-19} \ J$

or,

= $\frac{4.59\times 10^{-19}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}$

= $2.87 \ eV$

(b)

As we know,

⇒ $Vq=\frac{hc}{\lambda}-\Phi_0$

By substituting the values, we get

⇒ $1.43\times 1.6\times 10^{19}=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{433\times 10^{-9}}-\Phi_0$

⇒ $\Phi_0=2.3\times 10^{-19} \ J$

or,

⇒ $=\frac{2.3\times 10^{-19}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}$

⇒ $=1.4375 \ eV$

If there is an object in top of another object, why does the upper object exert a downward normal force?

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

This is because normal force is exerted perpendicularly to the point of contact between the upper and lower objects.

Explanation:

This is because the upper object is still subject to gravitational pull. Therefore, the amount of force it exerts on the lower object due to gravity will be equal to the normal force that acts in the negative direction of gravitational force. Additionally, normal force is evident because the upper object will not go into the lower object.
