How do the units of work and power compare?

Physics
1 answer:
ki77a [65]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Work done is given by :

W = Fd, where F is force and d is displacement

Unit of work done :

The SI unit of force is Newton (N) and that of displacement is meter (m). So, the unit of work done is N-m. It is call Joule. It means that the unit of work done is Joule.

Power is given by rate at which the work is done. It is given by :

P = W/t, W is work done and t is time

Unit of power:

Unit of work is Joule (J) and that of time is second (s). It means that the unit of power is Watt and it is equal to Joule/second

Hence, the correct option is (d) "The unit for work is a joule. The unit for power is a watt, which is a joule per second".

1. A listener stands 20.0 m from a speaker that pumps out music with a power output of 100.0 W.
marta [7]

(1.a) The surface area being vibrated by the time the sound reaches the listener is 5,026.55 m².

(1.b) The intensity of the sound wave as it reaches the person listening is 0.02 W/m².

(1.c) The relative intensity of the sound as heard by the listener is 103 dB.

(2.a) The speed of sound if the air temperature is 15⁰C is 340.3 m/s.

(2.b) The frequency of the sound heard by the suspect is 614.3 Hz.

<h3>Surface area being vibrated</h3>

The surface area being vibrated by the time the sound reaches the listener is calculated as follows;

A = 4πr²

A = 4π x (20)²

A = 5,026.55 m²

<h3>Intensity of the sound</h3>

The intensity of the sound is calculated as follows;

I = P/A

I = (100) / (5,026.55)

I = 0.02 W/m²

<h3>Relative intensity of the sound</h3>

B = 10log(\frac{I}{I_0} )\\\\B = 10 \times log(\frac{0.02}{10^{-12}} )\\\\B = 103 \ dB

<h3>Speed of sound at the given temperature</h3>

v= 331.3\sqrt{1 + \frac{T}{273} } \\\\v = 331.3\sqrt{1 + \frac{15}{273} } \\\\v = 340.3 \ m/s

<h3>Frequency of the sound</h3>

The frequency of the sound heard is determined by applying Doppler effect.

f_o = f_s(\frac{v \pm v_0}{v \pm v_s} )

where;

  • -v₀ is velocity of the observer moving away from the source
  • -vs is the velocity of the source moving towards the observer
  • fs is the source frequency
  • fo is the observed frequency
  • v is speed of sound

f_0 = f_s(\frac{v-v_0}{v- v_s} )

f_0 = 512(\frac{340.3 - 10}{340.3 - 65} )\\\\f_0 = 614.3 \ Hz

Of the planets with atmospheres, which is the warmest?<br> a. Venusb. Earthc. Marsd. Jupiter
tangare [24]

The Atmosphere in Jupiter is full of gases that move at high speeds in giant eddies. Its atmosphere consists mostly of gases such as hydrogen that generate a temperature fluctuation of around 128K.

On Earth, due to the protection of the Ozone Layer and the presence of Nitrogen and Oxygen, the temperature fluctuates by an average of 300K.

In the case of Mars, its atmosphere is thin, mostly composed of Carbon Dioxide and Diatomic Nitrogen, which allow a temperature oscillation of 210K.

In contrast, the atmosphere of Venus is thick and is composed of carbon dioxide that does not allow the sun's rays to escape, generating an extreme 'greenhouse effect' with temperatures ranging from 737K,

Correct Answer is A.

The weights in atwoods machine, starting at rest, attain a velocity of 2ft/sec in one sec. Find the ratio of the masses
Orlov [11]
Refer to the figure shown below.
Let m₁ and m₂ e the two masses.
Let a = the acceleration.
Let T =  tension over the frictionless pulley.

Write the equations of motion.
m₂g - T = m₂a            (1)
T - m₁g = m₁a            (2)

Add equations (1) and (2).
m₂g - T + T - m₁g = (m₁ + m₂)a
(m₂ - m₁)g = (m₁ + m₂)a

Divide through by m₁.
(m₂/m₁ - 1)g = (1 + m₂/m₁)a

Define r = m₂/m₁ as the ratio of the two masses. Then
(r - 1)g = (1 +r)a
r(g-a) = a + g
r = (g - a)/(g + a)

With  = 2 ft/s from rest, the acceleration is
a = 2/32.2 = 0.062 ft/s²
Therefore
r = (32.2 - 0.062)/(32.2 + 0.062) = 0.9962

Answer:
The ratio of masses is 0.9962 (heavier mass divided by the lighter mass).

Now the elevator is moving downward with a velocity of v = -2.8 m/s but accelerating upward with an acceleration of a = 5.5 m/s2
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

160.75 N

Explanation:

The downward velocity has no effect on the force situation, it is only changes in velocity (plus, of course, gravity, which is always there) that require a force. At constant velocity, the bottom spring s_3 is supporting its mass m_3 to balance gravity.

As the elevator slows, though, it also ends up slowing down the spring arrangement, too. However, because the stretching takes time, it means that some damped harmonic motion will be set up in the spring chain.

When the motion has finally damped out, the net force the bottom spring s3 exerts on m3 has two components--that of gravity and of the deceleration of the elevator:

F_3net = m3 * (g + a) = 10.5×(9.81+5.5)= 10.5×15.31= 160.75 N
