Answer:

Power is calculated by multiplying voltage by current.

Explanation:

If you're calculating the power of an athlete who is lifting weights,

or the power of a windmill that is pumping water from a well, or

the power of two horses turning millstones, then those electrical

units won't help at all.

But if you happen to be calculating the power delivered to an

electrical circuit or dissipated by an electrical device, then you

can use ...

(voltage) times (current)

(voltage)² divided by (resistance)

(current)² times (resistance) .

The choice just depends on which quantities you know

or can easily measure.

A car with a mass of 1380 Kg is traveling at 23 m/s to the north. A truck with a mass of 1625 Kg is traveling at 26 m/s to the s

Answer: -3.49 m/s (to the south)

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by the Conservation of Momentum principle which establishes the initial momentum $p_{i}$ must be equal to the final momentum $p_{f}$ , and taking into account this is aninelastic collision:

Before the collision:

$p_{i}=mV_{o}+MU_{o}$ (1)

After the collision:

$p_{f}=(m+M)V_{f}$ (2)

Where:

$m=1380 kg$ is the mass of the car

$V_{o}=23 m/s$ is the velocity of the car, directed to the north

$M=1625 kg$ is the mass of the truck

$U_{o}=-26 m/s$ is the velocity of the truck, directed to the south

$V_{f}$ is the final velocity of both the car and the truck

$p_{i}=p_{f}$ (3)

$mV_{o}+MU_{o}=(m+M)V_{f}$ (4)

Isolating $V_{f}$ :

$V_{f}=\frac{mV_{o}+MU_{o}}{m+M}$ (5)

$V_{f}=\frac{(1380 kg)(23 m/s)+(1625 kg)(-26 m/s)}{1380 kg+1625 kg}$ (6)

Finally:

$V_{f}=-3.49 m/s$ The negative sign indicates the direction of the velocity is to the south

kompoz [17]

Answer:

An interference pattern.

Explanation:

When we have two light source of the same frequency turned on close to each other, the light emitted by them will interfere since light is also a wave. This means that an interference pattern will appear in a screen put ahead of them, that is, bands of light and darkness where the waves are interfering constructively and destructively.
