What is the relationship between power and acceleration?
Acceleration is power divided by momentum.
Often it is convenient to calculate the average power. In the straightforward cases where a constant force moves an object at constant velocity, the power is just P = Fv. In a more general case where the velocity is not in the same direction as the force, then the scalar product of force and velocity must be used.
How are mass and power related?
The equation E = mc^2 states that the amount of energy possessed by an object is equal to its mass multiplied by the square of the speed of light. Additionally, the equation suggests that energy and mass are interchangeable with each other. In other words, energy can be converted to mass and mass to energy.
What is power and average power?
Discuss the differences between average power and instantaneous power. The instantaneous power is the power at a given instant. The average power is the power averaged over a cycle or number of cycles. The average ac current delivered to a circuit is zero.
Why is the concept of average power useful?
The concept of average power is useful when the power of an agent varies with time and it does work at different rates during different intervals of time.
Is average power the same as real power?
In a steady-state circuit, if you average the “instantaneous power” over a cycle, you get “real power”… so yes, they are the same. Furthermore, this is how power meters work, to show what the real power consumed. They average the instantaneous voltage and current (vectors) over a few seconds.
How do you find acceleration with power and mass?
In Physics, Power can be calculated by multiplying force with velocity. Knowing from Newtons 2nd Law that force is mass times acceleration, the expression for power can also be written as: Mass x Acceleration x Velocity. The SI unit of power is watts or joules per second.
What is the formula for average acceleration?
Average acceleration The average acceleration over a period of time is defined as the total change in velocity in the given interval divided by the total time taken for the change. For a given interval of time, it is denoted as ā .
What is the difference between average acceleration and instantaneous acceleration?
Average acceleration: Average acceleration is defined as the ratio of change in velocity to the change in time for a given interval. Unlike instantaneous acceleration, average acceleration is calculated for a given interval.
What is the relation between acceleration and time and power?
Actually time is a component of acceleration and mass and acceleration themselves are components of power. If we go to mathematical equations, Acceleration =change in velocity/time. i.e. acceleration is inversely proportional to time. Furthermore,there is also a relation between power,mass and acceleration.
How do you find average acceleration from a velocity vs time graph?
So, a velocity vs time graph gives us enough information to find the average acceleration of the particle for any interval of time. Look at the graph and determine the velocity v 1 that the particle has at instant t 1 = 4 s. Look at the graph and determine the velocity v 2 that the particle has at instant t 2 = 8 s.
