How can gravitational energy play an important part of my life

Physics
1 answer:
m_a_m_a [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Well, lets say you park your car on the top of a hill, gravitational energy prevents it from the car falling back. Or a snow pack, aka before a potential avalanche. Though gravity cannot keep it safe forever, gravitational energy keeps it from crashing asap. In this case, it gives you time to escape. Altogether, gravitational force keeps the earth in it's atmosphere.

What is difference between kilowatt and kilowatt hour?
Scrat [10]
Those two units can be compared to a 'mile per hour' and a 'mile per hour - hour'.
One is a rate.  The other is a quantity, after maintaining a rate for some time.

-- 'Joule' is a unit of energy.  It's the amount of work (energy) you do
when you push with a force of 1 newton though a distance of 1 meter.
Lifting 10 pound of beans 3 feet off the floor takes about 40.7 joules of energy.

-- 'Watt' is a <u><em>rate</em></u> of using energy . . . 1 joule per second.
If you lift 10 pounds 3 feet off the floor in 1 second, your <em>power</em> is 40.7 watts.

-- 'Watt-second' is the amount of energy used in one second,
at the rate of 1 joule per second . . . 1 joule.

-- 'Watt-hour' is the amount of energy used in one hour,
at the rate of 1 joule per second . . . 3,600 joules.

-- 'Kilowatt' is a bigger <em>rate</em> of using energy . . . 1,000 joules per second.

-- 'Kilowatt - second' is the amount of energy used in one second,
at the rate of 1,000 joules per second . . . 1,000 joules .

-- 'Kilowatt - hour' is the amount of energy used in one hour,
at the rate of 1,000 joules per second . . . 3,600,000 joules .

Depending on where you live, 3,600,000 joules of energy bought
from the electric company costs something between 5¢ and 25¢.
