Is the mechanical form of power different from the electrical form? Why?

1 answer:

4 0

The potential energy of the charges due to the voltage between the terminals is converted to kinetic energy in the device. These devices are called passive components or loads; they 'consume' electric power from the circuit, converting it to other forms of energy such as mechanical work, heat, light, etc.

Rashid [163]

Answer:

The velocity of the particle = -1.92 m/s

The speed of the particle = 5.72 m/s

Explanation:

Given equation of motion;

$f(t) = 18 \ + \ \frac{48}{t} \ + \ 1$

Velocity is defined as the change in displacement with time.

$V = \frac{df(t)}{dt} = -\frac{48}{t^2} \\\\at \ t = 5 \ s\\\\V = -\frac{48}{5^2} = \frac{-48}{25} = - 1.92 \ m/s$

The distance traveled by the particle in 5 s:

$s = f(5) = 18 + \frac{48}{5} + 1\\\\s= 28.6 \ m$

The speed of the particle when t = 5s

$Speed = \frac{28.6}{5} = 5.72 \ m/s$
