Power is calculated by multiplying voltage by

Physics

butalik [34]3 years ago
5 0

If you're calculating the power of an athlete who is lifting weights,
or the power of a windmill that is pumping water from a well, or
the power of two horses turning millstones, then those electrical
units won't help at all.

But if you happen to be calculating the power delivered to an
electrical circuit or dissipated by an electrical device, then you
can use ...

                (voltage) times (current)
or
                (voltage)² divided by (resistance)
or
                (current)² times (resistance) .

The choice just depends on which quantities you know
or can easily measure.

Lonnie pitches a baseball of mass 0.20 kg. The ball arrives at home plate with a speed of 40 m/s and is batted straight back to
suter [353]

Answer:

B) 20N.s is the correct answer

Explanation:

The formula for the impulse is given as:

Impulse = change in momentum

Impulse = mass × change in speed

Impulse = m × ΔV

Given:

initial speed  = 40m/s

Final speed = -60 m/s (Since the the ball will now move in the opposite direction after hitting the bat, the speed is negative)

mass = 0.20 kg

Thus, we have

Impulse = 0.20 × (40m/s - (-60)m/s)

Impulse = 0.20 × 100 = 20 kg-m/s or 20 N.s

A 2,000 kg car starts from rest and coasts down from the top of a 5.00 m long driveway that is sloped at an angel of 20o with th
ehidna [41]

Answer:

The speed at the bottom of the driveway is3.67m/s.

Explanation:

Height,h= 5sin20°= 1.71m

Potential energy PE=mgh= 2000×9.8×1.71

PE= 33516J

KE= PE- Fk ×d

0.5mv^2= 33516 - (4000×5)

0.5×2000v^2= 33516 - 20000

1000v^2= 13516

v^2= 13516/1000

v =sqrt 13.516

v =3.67m/s

A ball is dropped from rest at height of 20m. If it loses 25% of its kinetic energy when it strikes the ground. What is the heig
victus00 [196]

Answer:

15 meters

Explanation:

The inicial energy of the ball is just potencial energy, and its value is:

E = m * g * h = m * g * 20,

where m is the ball mass, and g is the value of gravity.

In the moment that the ball strickes the ground, all potencial energy transformed into kinetic energy, and 25% of this energy is lost, so the total energy at this moment will be:

E' = 0.75 * E = 0.75 * m * g * 20 = 15*m*g

This kinetic energy will make the ball goes up again, and at the maximum height, all kinetic energy is transformed back into potencial energy.

So, as the mass and the gravity are constants, we can calculate the height the ball will reach:

E' = m*g*h = 15*m*g -> h = 15 meters
