What's the difference between work and power

Physics
2 answers:
zhuklara [117]3 years ago

Work is defined as the process of energy transfer to the motion of an object through the application of force. ... Power is defined as the amount of energy transferred in unit time. The SI unit of power is the watt.

You need to have power or energy, to be able to work. When you reach another lesson, you will learn about time, which is the flow of work you have done. You need more work than time for your work to count.

If you need more help, don't hesitate to ask!

May I please have brainliest?

WORK is the amount of energy used to get something done.

POWER is the RATE at which the energy is used and the work is done.

Which describes an object in projectile motion? Check all that apply.A.Gravity acts to pull the object downB.The object moves in
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

A.Gravity acts to pull the object down

D.The object’s inertia carries it forward.

E.The path of the object is curved.

Explanation:

The motion of a projectile consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion along the horizontal direction, with constant horizontal speed

- A vertical motion with constant acceleration of g = 9.8 m/s^2 downward (acceleration due to gravity), due to the presence of the force of gravity, so the vertical velocity changes (increases in the downward direction)

As a result, the combined motion of the projectile has a curved trajectory (parabolic, more specifically). So the following options are correct:

A.Gravity acts to pull the object down --> gravity acts along the vertical direction

D.The object’s inertia carries it forward. --> there are no forces acting along the horizontal direction (if we neglect air resistance), so the horizontal motion continues with constant speed

E.The path of the object is curved

Use the accompanying seismogram to answer which of the three types of seismic waves reached the seismograph first.
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Primary waves (P-waves)

Explanation:

Due to excess of the energy inside the earth when the tectonic plates begin to slide or fracture then the energy is released in the form of seismic waves, this causes the earthquake.

<u>Two types of seismic waves are generally responsible for the earth quakes:</u>

  1. body waves
  2. surface waves

Body waves are of two types:

Primary waves (P-waves)

These are the fastest of all the waves involved in the earth-quake which travel at a speed of 1.6 km to 8 km per second.

They can pass trough solids, liquids and gases. They arrive at the surface as an instant thud.

Secondary waves (S-waves)

They can only pass through the solids and they move slower than the P-waves.

As S-waves move, they displace the rock particles, pushing them outwards perpendicular to the wave-path that leads to the earthquake-related first rolling period.

Surface waves (L-waves/ long waves)

  • These waves move along the surface of the earth. They are responsible for the earthquake's carnage.
  • They move up and down the Earth's surface, rocking the foundations of man-made structures.
  • Surface waves are slowest of the three waves, which means that they are the last to arrive. So at the end of an earthquake usually comes the most powerful shaking.

An astronaut on an alien planet drops a rock into a crater which is 100 meters deep. The rock hits the bottom of the crater 4 se
Semmy [17]

Answer:

The gravity on this planet is stronger than that of earth.

Explanation:

First we need to find the acceleration due to gravity value of this planet to compare its gravity force with that of the earth. Hence, we will use second equation of motion:

h = Vi t + (0.5)gt²

where,

h = height or depth of crater = 100 m

Vi = Initial Velocity of rock = 0 m/s

t = time = 4 s

g = acceleration due to gravity on this planet = ?

Therefore,

100 m = (0 m/s)(4 s) + (0.5)(g)(4 s)²

g = (200 m)/(16 s²)

g = 12.5 m/s²

on earth:

ge = 9.8 m/s²

Since,

ge < g

Therefore,

<u>The gravity on this planet is stronger than that of earth.</u>

Most comets have short periods and orbit close to the ecliptic plane. (T/F)
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Most comets are located outside the solar system, in part of the cloud that originated from dust and gas that has remained virtually untouchable for billions of years. The orbit of these comets can reach the order of a light year. Thus, they are called long-period comets.
