Define 1 unit electricity

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

A unit is represented in kWH or Kilowatt Hour. This is the actual electricity or energy used. If you use 1000 Watts or 1 Kilowatt of power for 1 hour then you consume 1 unit or 1 Kilowatt-Hour (kWh) of electricity.

6. The hole on a level, elevated golf green is a horizontal distance of 150 m from the tee and at an elevation of 12.4 m above t

Georgia [21]

Answer:

u = 104.68 m/s

Explanation:

given,

horizontal distance = 150 m

elevation of 12.4 m

angle = 8.6°

horizontal motion = x = u cos θ. t .............(1)

vertical motion =

$y = u sin \theta - \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$ ................(2)

from equation(1) and (2)

$y = x tan \theta - \dfrac{gx^2}{2u^2cos^2\theta}$ ..........{3}

$12.4 = 150\times tan (8.6) - \dfrac{9.8\times 150^2}{2u^2cos^2(8.6)}$

$\dfrac{9.8\times 150^2}{2u^2cos^2(8.6)} = 10.29$

$\dfrac{9.8\times 150^2}{2\times 10.29\times cos^2(8.6)} = u^2$

$u = \sqrt{10959.34}$

u = 104.68 m/s

The initial speed of the ball is u = 104.68 m/s

Three kids are riding on a snow sled traveling horizontally without friction at 19.8 m/s. The masses of Kid A, B, and C are 42.8

Kamila [148]

Answer:

34.6 m/s

Explanation:

From conservation of momentum, the sum of initial and final momentum are equal. Momentum is a product of mass and velocity. Initial mass will be 42.8+31.5+25.9=100.2 kg

Final mass will be 31.5+25.9=57.4 kg

From formula of momentum

M1v1=m2v2

Making v2 the subject of the formula then

$V2=\frac {M1v1}{m2}$

Substitute 100.2 kg for M1, 19.8 m/s fkr v1 and 57.4 kg for m2 then

$V2=\frac {100.2 kg\times 19.8 m/s}{57.4 kg}=34.56376 m/s\approx 34.6 m/s$

The velocity of an object is the _____ of the object
