How is power defined? Question 8 options: the quantity of work accomplished the direction of the work the total distance an obje
1 answer:
Power is defined by the rate of work done by the object. Statement D represents the correct definition of Power.
<h3>What is Power?</h3>Power can be defined as the transfer of energy from one place to another place. The rate at which this energy is transferred is called power.
In other words, the rate at which the work is done by an object is called its power. The mathematical representation of power is given as,
Here, P is the power, is the change in energy or work done and
change in time.
The Power can be written in SI units as Watt or J/s.
Hence we can conclude that the power is the rate at which work is accomplished. Statement D is the correct representation of Power.

As per the question the mass of the boy is 50 kg.
The boy sits on a chair.
We are asked to calculate the force exerted by the boy on the chair at sea level.
The force exerted by boy on the chair while sitting on it is nothing else except the force of gravity of earth i.e the weight of the body .The direction of that force is vertically downward.
At sea level the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2
Hence the weight of the boy [m is the mass of the body]
we have m = 50 kg.
Hence w = 50 kg ×9.8 m/s^2
=490 N kg m/s^2
= 490 N
Here newton [N] is the unit of force.
