Answer:
the rate that the energy of a system is transformed
Explanation:
We can define energy as the capacity or ability to do work. Power is defined as the rate of doing work or the rate at which energy is transformed. It can also be regarded as the time rate of energy transfer. In older physics literature, power is sometimes referred to as activity.
Power is given by energy/time. Its unit is watt which is defined as joule per second. Another popular unit of power is horsepower. 1 horsepower = 746 watts.
Very large magnitude of power is measured in killowats and megawatts.
Answer:
C) only part of the bandwidth of the AM signal is amplified, causing some of the sideband information to be lost and distortion results.
Explanation:
Selectivity is the ability of a receiver to respond only to a specific signal on a wanted frequency and reject other signals nearby in frequency.
If a receiver is overly selective, only part of the bandwidth of the AM signal is amplified, causing some of the sideband information to be lost and distortion results. Whereas, if a receiver is underselective, the receiver can pick different signals on different frequencies at the same time.
-- If 2,000 newtons of force were applied through a distance of 1,000 meters,
then 2,000,000 newton-meters = 2,000,000 joules of work were done.
-- 45 minutes = (45 x 60) = 2,700 seconds
-- Power = (work) / (time) = (2,000,000 j) / (2,700 s) = <u>740.74 watts</u>
Interestingly, that's almost exactly 1 horsepower. (0.99295... of 746 watts)
The comets hit the moon's surface because there is no atmosphere on the moon to protect it. The earth has an atmosphere so it is protected.
