Power is the rate at which work is done in a given period. Mathematically, power is the work/time ratio.
P = W/t
Description: P = power (Joule/second = Watt), W = work (Joule), t = time interval (second)
Based on this equation, it can be concluded that the greater the work rate, the greater the power. On the other hand, the smaller the work rate, the smaller the power. Work rate refers to the rate at which work is done.
Power is a scalar. The SI unit of power is the Joule/second. The Joule/second = Watt (abbreviated as W), named so to pay homage to James Watt. The British imperial unit for power is foot-pound per second.
This unit is too small for practical purposes, so the greater unit horsepower (abbreviated as hp) is used. One horsepower = 550 foot-pound per second = 764 Watt = ¾ kilowatt.
The amount of work can also be expressed in power x time units, for instance, kilowatt-hour or kWh. One kWh refers to the work done at a constant rate of 1 kiloWatt for one hour.
1. Ib qho 50-kg person runs up the stairs 10 meters high in 2 feeb. Acceleration vim gravity (g) is 10 m/s2. Txiav txim lub hwj chim.
Paub:
Pawg (m) = 50 kg
Qhov siab (h) = 10 meters
Acceleration vim lub ntiajteb txawj nqus (g) = 10 m/s2
Lub sijhawm luv (t) = 2 feeb = 2 (60) = 120 thib obs
xav : hwj chim (P)
Tshuaj:
Formula of power :
P = W / t
P = hwj chim, W = ua hauj lwm, t = lub sij hawm
Formula of Work :
W = F s = w h = m g h
W = ua hauj lwm, F = quab yuam, wb = hnyav, d = xaav, h = qhov siab, m = mass, g = acceleration vim lub ntiajteb txawj nqus
W = m g h = (50)(10)(10) = 5000 Joule.
P = W / t = 5000 / 120 = 41.7 Joule/second.
2. Calculate the power required of a 60-kg person who climbs a tree 5 meters high in 10 seconds. Acceleration due to gravity is 10 m/s2.
Paub:
Qhov hnyav (m) = 60 kg
Qhov siab (h) = 5 meterss
Acceleration vim lub ntiajteb txawj nqus (g) = 10 m/s2
Lub sijhawm luv (t) = 10 vib nas this
xav : hwj chim
Tshuaj:
Ua Haujlwm:
W = m g h = (60)(10)(5) = 3000 Joule
Lub hwj chim:
P = W / t = 3000 / 10 = 300 Joule/second.
3. A rotary comedy with a power of 300 watts and period of 5 minutes rotates 5 rounds. The energy it uses is ….
A. 15 kJ
B. 75 kJ
C. 90 kJ
D. 450 kJ
Paub:
Lub zog (P) = 300 Watts = 300 Joules/ob
Period (T) = 5 minutes = 5 (60 seconds) = 300 seconds
Number of rotation = 5
SE pob: Energy used by the rotary comedy
