Question

One watt is A. equal to one kilogram per second B. the power that can be delivered by an average horse C. the same as one-foot pound per second D. the proper replacement unit for one joule per second E. the same as one horsepower per second

Answer 1

Answer:

D. the proper replacement unit for one joule per second

Explanation:

When energy is divided by the time the energy was used we get power

$P=\dfrac{E}{t}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{mv^2}{t}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{kg(\dfrac{m^2}{s^2})}{s}\\\Rightarrow P=kg(\dfrac{m^2}{s^2})}\times \dfrac{1}{s}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{kgm^2}{s^3}$

$kg\dfrac{m^2}{s^2}=Joule$

$P=\dfrac{kgm^2}{s^3}$

So, the answer is D. the proper replacement unit for one joule per second
