In physics, power is the rate of doing work or of transferring heat, i.e. the amount of energy transferred or converted per unit time. Having no direction, it is a scalarquantity. In the International System of Units, the unit of power is the joule per second (J/s), known as the watt in honour of James Watt, the eighteenth-century developer of the condenser steam engine. Another common and traditional measure is horsepower (comparing to the power of a horse). Being the rate of work, the equation for power can be written:

P = E/t
P = F·v
P = V·I
P = T·ω
As a physical concept, power requires both a change in the physical system and a specified time in which the change occurs. This is distinct from the concept of work, which is only measured in terms of a net change in the state of the physical system. The same amount of work is done when carrying a load up a flight of stairs whether the person carrying it walks or runs, but more power is needed for running because the work is done in a shorter amount of time.
Answer:
1.7333333m/s²
Explanation:
Tension of the line = the weight + force from pulling up the fish
30N = mg + ma
30 = (6)(9.8) + (6)a
10.4 = 6a
∴ a = 1.7333333m/s²
In a string of length L, the wavelength of the n-th harmonic of the standing wave produced in the string is given by:
The length of the string in this problem is L=3.5 m, therefore the wavelength of the 1st harmonic of the standing wave is:
The wavelength of the 2nd harmonic is:
The wavelength of the 4th harmonic is:
It is not possible to find any integer n such that 
, therefore the correct options are A, B and D.
"The total distance traveled divided by the time it takes to travel the distance"
That's actually a pretty good definition of average speed. <em>(A)</em>
Answer:
Explanation:
According to the free body diagram, in this case, we have:
Recall that the force of friction is given by:
Replacing and solving for the coefficient of kinetic friction:
We have an uniformly accelerated motion. Thus, the acceleration is defined as:
Finally, we calculate 
:
