Okay, so you agree to calculate power another way. Power. He has authored Dummies titles including Physics For Dummies and Physics Essentials For Dummies. She applies the force perpendicular to the arm of the wrench. ","noIndex":0,"noFollow":0},"content":"Pressure and force are related, and so you can calculate one if you know the other by using the physics equation, P = F/A. Suppose your brother got himself a snappy new car. Yep, thats what it says. The distance between the balloons (a variable in Coulomb's law) is marked on the diagram and represented by the variable d. The vertical line extending from the pivot point on the ceiling is drawn; this vertical line is one side of a right . Okay, so the force applied to accelerate the car steadily is 5,060 newtons. Force divided by distance appears in the equation for a spring; For times that are protons. Balance forces are two forces acting in opposite directions on an object, and equal in size. The change in pressure could also cause the nitrogen in your blood to form bubbles and give you the bends! How much horsepower is that?
\nYou know that
\n\nso all you need to calculate is the average speed and the net applied force. You know that F = ma, so you can plug in the values to get
\n\nOkay, so the force applied to accelerate the car steadily is 5,060 newtons. What is force times time? They can be caused by gravity, magnetism, or anything else that causes a mass to accelerate. Lets put it to the test.
\nYour brothers car has a mass of
\n\nOn the big Physics Test Track on the edge of town, you measure its acceleration as 4.60 meters/second2 over 5.00 seconds when the car started from rest. How much horsepower is that? 2023 Leaf Group Ltd. / Leaf Group Media, All Rights Reserved. He has authored Dummies titles including Physics For Dummies and Physics Essentials For Dummies.
