How do the units of work and power compare?

Physics
1 answer:
ki77a [65]3 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".

A large body collides with a stationary small body from the rear end. How do the bodies behave if the collision is inelastic?.
alexdok [17]
If the collision is inelastic, there is every possibility that the large body will drag the small stationary body along with it in the direction of the collision. Some amount of heat, light and sound energy will also be produced due to the kinetic energy of the large body. I hope the answer helps you.

A wire with a weight per unit length of 0.082 N/m is suspended directly above a second wire. The top wire carries a current of 3
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

d = 4.5079mm

Explanation:

from the question we are given that

\frac{F}{L}= 0.082N/m

I₁= 30.6 A , I₂ = 60.4 A , and μ₀ = 4 π × 10⁻⁷ T · m / A

In order for the system to be in equilibrium, the repulsive magnetic force

per unit length on the top wire must equal the weight per unit length of the wire. Then we have

F/L = μ₀I₁I₂ / 2πd , making d as the subject of formular

we have that d = Lμ₀I₁I₂ / 2πF

= 4 π × 10⁻⁷ × 30.6 ×60.4 / 2π × 0.082

=45079.02×  10⁻⁷

in mm .. 45079.02×  10⁻⁷ × 10³

45079.02 ×10⁻⁴

d = 4.5079mm

Find the speed at which Superman (mass=76.0 kg) must fly into a train (mass = 19969 kg) traveling at 65.0 km/hr to stop it.
yawa3891 [41]
A, speed = 70 km/h x (17026/79) =15086 km/h b, v=u +at v=0, a=-0.5 g = -4.9 m/s^2 u=19.4 m/s t = 3.96 s c, v^2 = u^2 + 2 as as above, 19.4^2 = 2 *0.5 *g *s s = 19.4^2/9.8 = 38.6m

Hope it helps :)

A plate falls vertically to the floor and breaks up into three pieces, which slide along the floor. immediately after the impact
pshichka [43]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

Define the (x,y) plane as the horizontal plane of the floor.
There was no momentum in the (x,y) plane before the plate hit the floor.

Let the velocity components in the (x) and (y) directions of the 100 g mass be Vx and Vy respectively, and that the resultant velocity, V, makes an angle θ below the negative x-axis as shown.

Because momentum is conserved, therefore
100*Vx + 320*2 = 0
100Vx = -640
Vx = -6.4 m/s

100Vy + 355*1.5 = 0
100Vy = -532.5
Vy = -5.325 m/s

V = √[(-6.4)² + (-5.325)²] = 8.33 m/s
θ = tan⁻¹ (-5.325/-6.4) = 39.8°

Answer:
The direction is 39.8° below the negative x-axis
The speed is 8.33 m/s
