Power Questions in English

(A) Power is defined as the rate of doing work or the rate of energy transfer.
Given:
Height,$h = 25 \ m$
Mass of water,$m = 3 \times 10^3 \ kg$
Time,$t = 1 \ minute = 60 \ s$
Acceleration due to gravity,$g = 10 \ m/s^2$
The potential energy of the water falling is converted into power for the turbine.
$P = \frac{mgh}{t}$
Substituting the values:
$P = \frac{3 \times 10^3 \times 10 \times 25}{60}$
$P = \frac{750000}{60}$
$P = 12500 \ W$
Wait,recalculating: $P = \frac{3000 \times 10 \times 25}{60} = \frac{750000}{60} = 12500 \ W$.
Re-evaluating the provided options: The calculation yields $12500 \ W$. Given the options,$12250 \ W$ is the closest approximation if $g = 9.8 \ m/s^2$ is used.
Using $g = 9.8 \ m/s^2$:
$P = \frac{3000 \times 9.8 \times 25}{60} = 50 \times 9.8 \times 25 = 12250 \ W$.

(A) Power is defined as the rate of doing work or the rate of energy transfer.
$P = \frac{W}{t} = \frac{mgh}{t}$
Given:
Power,$P = 20 kW = 20,000 W$
Mass,$m = 200 kg$
Height,$h = 40 m$
Acceleration due to gravity,$g = 10 m s^{-2}$
Rearranging the formula for time $t$:
$t = \frac{mgh}{P}$
Substituting the values:
$t = \frac{200 \times 10 \times 40}{20,000}$
$t = \frac{80,000}{20,000}$
$t = 4 s$

(A) We know that,power $P$ is defined as the rate of doing work.
$P = \frac{dW}{dt}$
Since work done $W = F \cdot s$ (where $s$ is displacement),
$P = \frac{d}{dt}(F \cdot s)$
Assuming the force $F$ is constant,
$P = F \cdot \frac{ds}{dt}$
Since velocity $v = \frac{ds}{dt}$,we get:
$P = F \cdot v$

(A) Given: Force $\vec{F} = (2 \hat{i} + 3 \hat{j} + 4 \hat{k}) \text{ N}$, Displacement $\vec{s} = (3 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} + 5 \hat{k}) \text{ m}$, Time $t = 4 \text{ s}$.
Average velocity $\vec{v} = \frac{\vec{s}}{t} = \frac{1}{4}(3 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} + 5 \hat{k}) \text{ m/s}$.
Power $P = \vec{F} \cdot \vec{v}$.
$P = (2 \hat{i} + 3 \hat{j} + 4 \hat{k}) \cdot \frac{1}{4}(3 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} + 5 \hat{k})$.
$P = \frac{1}{4} [(2 \times 3) + (3 \times 4) + (4 \times 5)]$.
$P = \frac{1}{4} [6 + 12 + 20] = \frac{38}{4} = 9.5 \text{ W}$.

(D) Speed of each bullet,$v = 360 \,km/h = 360 \times \frac{5}{18} \,m/s = 100 \,m/s$.
Number of bullets fired per minute,$N = 360$.
Mass of each bullet,$m = 20 \,g = 0.02 \,kg$.
Kinetic energy of one bullet,$K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 0.02 \times (100)^2 = 0.01 \times 10000 = 100 \,J$.
Total kinetic energy of $360$ bullets,$E = N \times K = 360 \times 100 = 36000 \,J$.
Power of the gun is the total energy delivered per unit time,$P = \frac{E}{t}$.
Since $t = 1 \,minute = 60 \,s$,we have $P = \frac{36000 \,J}{60 \,s} = 600 \,W$.

(A) Force exerted by the electric motor,$F = 50 \,N$.
Displacement,$s = 60 \,m$.
Time,$t = 1 \,min = 60 \,s$.
The work done by the motor is $W = F \times s = 50 \,N \times 60 \,m = 3000 \,J$.
Power is defined as the rate of doing work,$P = \frac{W}{t}$.
Substituting the values,$P = \frac{3000 \,J}{60 \,s} = 50 \,W$.
Therefore,the power supplied by the motor is $50 \,W$.

(A) Power $(P)$ is defined as the dot product of force $(\vec{F})$ and velocity $(\vec{v})$.
$P = \vec{F} \cdot \vec{v}$
Given:
$\vec{F} = (60 \hat{i} + 15 \hat{j} - 3 \hat{k}) \text{ N}$
$\vec{v} = (2 \hat{i} - 4 \hat{j} + 5 \hat{k}) \text{ m/s}$
Calculating the dot product:
$P = (60 \times 2) + (15 \times -4) + (-3 \times 5)$
$P = 120 - 60 - 15$
$P = 60 - 15 = 45 \text{ W}$
Therefore,the power is $45 \text{ W}$.

(B) The total depth of the well is $6 \ m + 14 \ m = 20 \ m$. Let a small volume element $dx$ be at a distance $x$ from the top surface. The mass of this element is $dm = \rho dV = \rho \pi r^2 dx$.
The potential energy required to lift this element to the top is $dU = dm \cdot g \cdot x = \rho \pi r^2 g x dx$.
Integrating from $x = 6 \ m$ to $x = 20 \ m$ to find the total work done $W$:
$W = \int_{6}^{20} \rho \pi r^2 g x dx = \rho \pi r^2 g \left[ \frac{x^2}{2} \right]_{6}^{20} = \rho \pi r^2 g \left( \frac{400 - 36}{2} \right) = \rho \pi r^2 g (182)$.
Given $\rho = 10^3 \ kg/m^3$,$r = 2.5 \ m$,$g = 10 \ m/s^2$:
$W = 10^3 \times 3.14 \times (2.5)^2 \times 10 \times 182 = 35.71 \times 10^6 \ J$.
Power $P = 10 \ HP = 10 \times 746 \ W = 7460 \ W$.
Time $t = \frac{W}{P} = \frac{35.71 \times 10^6}{7460} \approx 4787 \ s$.
Converting to minutes: $t = \frac{4787}{60} \approx 79.78 \ min \approx 80 \ min$.
Thus,the correct option is $B$.

(C) The power $P$ generated by a force $\vec{F}$ acting on an object moving with velocity $\vec{v}$ is given by $P = \vec{F} \cdot \vec{v} = Fv \cos \theta$, where $\theta$ is the angle between the force vector and the velocity vector.
Here, the gravitational force $\vec{F} = m\vec{g}$ acts vertically downwards.
The velocity vector $\vec{v}$ makes an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the vertical.
Since the force is downwards and the velocity is directed upwards at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the vertical, the angle $\theta$ between the force vector and the velocity vector is $180^{\circ} - 60^{\circ} = 120^{\circ}$.
Given: $m = 50 \,kg$, $v = 2 \,ms^{-1}$, $g = 9.8 \,ms^{-2}$.
$P = mgv \cos(120^{\circ})$
$P = 50 \times 9.8 \times 2 \times (-0.5)$
$P = 980 \times (-0.5) = -490 \,W$.
The magnitude of the power generated by gravity is $490 \,W$. However, considering the options provided and the standard interpretation of such problems where the component of gravity opposing the motion is considered, the magnitude is $490 \,W$. If the question asks for the power generated by the girl (against gravity), it would be $490 \,W$. Given the options, $490 \,W$ is not explicitly listed, but $490 \sqrt{3} \,W$ is often associated with the component $mg \cos(30^{\circ})$ or similar. Re-evaluating the geometry: the angle between the vertical and the velocity is $60^{\circ}$. The component of gravity acting against the velocity is $mg \cos(180-60) = mg \cos(120) = -0.5 mg$. The magnitude is $0.5 \times 50 \times 9.8 \times 2 = 490 \,W$. Since $490 \,W$ is not an option, and $490 \sqrt{3} \,W$ is provided, there might be a geometric misinterpretation in the source. Based on standard physics, the answer is $490 \,W$.

(C) The power $P$ is defined as the work done $W$ per unit time $t$,given by $P = \frac{W}{t}$.
Here,the work done is against gravity to lift the man and the object: $W = (m + M)gh$,where $m$ is the mass of the object and $M$ is the mass of the man.
Given: $P = 2000 \ W$,$M = 50 \ kg$,$h = 20 \ m$,$t = 10 \ s$,and $g = 10 \ m/s^2$.
Substituting the values into the power formula: $P = \frac{(m + M)gh}{t}$.
$2000 = \frac{(m + 50) \times 10 \times 20}{10}$.
$2000 = (m + 50) \times 20$.
Dividing both sides by $20$: $100 = m + 50$.
Therefore,$m = 100 - 50 = 50 \ kg$.

(A) The effective power $P_p$ of the pump used to lift the water is given by the product of its efficiency $\eta$ and its rated power $P_{\text{rated}}$.
$P_p = \eta \times P_{\text{rated}} = 0.95 \times 600 W = 570 W$.
The power required to lift a volume $V$ of water to a height $h$ in time $t$ is given by $P_p = \frac{mgh}{t} = \frac{\rho V gh}{t}$,where $\rho$ is the density of water.
Given: $\rho = 1000 kg/m^3$,$g = 10 m/s^2$,$h = 60 m$,and $t = 20 \text{ minutes} = 20 \times 60 s = 1200 s$.
Substituting the values: $570 = \frac{1000 \times V \times 10 \times 60}{1200}$.
$570 = \frac{600000 \times V}{1200} = 500 \times V$.
$V = \frac{570}{500} = 1.14 m^3$.

(B) Given:
Volume of water $V = 36 \,m^3$
Time $t = 30 \,min = 30 \times 60 \,s = 1800 \,s$
Height $h = 50 \,m$
Input Power $P_{\text{in}} = 40 \,kW = 40,000 \,W$
Density of water $\rho = 1000 \,kg/m^3$
Acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \,m/s^2$
Mass of water $m = V \times \rho = 36 \times 1000 = 36,000 \,kg$
Work done to lift the water $W = mgh = 36,000 \times 10 \times 50 = 18,000,000 \,J$
Output Power $P_{\text{out}} = \frac{W}{t} = \frac{18,000,000}{1800} = 10,000 \,W = 10 \,kW$
Efficiency $\eta = \frac{P_{\text{out}}}{P_{\text{in}}} \times 100\% = \frac{10,000}{40,000} \times 100\% = 25\%$

(A) The engine is moving a mass up an inclined plane at a constant velocity. The force required to move the mass up the plane must balance the component of the gravitational force acting down the plane.
Force $F = mg \sin \theta$.
Given that the inclination is $1$ in $50$,we have $\sin \theta = 1/50$.
Taking $g = 10 \ ms^{-2}$,the force is $F = 5000 \times 10 \times (1/50) = 1000 \ N$.
The power $P$ is given by $P = F \times v$,where $v = 5 \ ms^{-1}$.
$P = 1000 \ N \times 5 \ ms^{-1} = 5000 \ W = 5 \ kW$.

(B) Power $P$ is defined as the rate of doing work,given by $P = F \cdot v$.
Since $F = m \cdot a = m \frac{dv}{dt}$,we have $P = m \frac{dv}{dt} \cdot v$.
Rearranging the terms,we get $P \cdot dt = m \cdot v \cdot dv$.
Integrating both sides,$\int_{0}^{t} P \cdot dt = \int_{0}^{v} m \cdot v \cdot dv$.
Since $P$ and $m$ are constant,$P \cdot t = m \cdot \frac{v^2}{2}$.
Solving for $v$,we get $v^2 = \frac{2Pt}{m}$,which implies $v = \sqrt{\frac{2P}{m}} \cdot t^{\frac{1}{2}}$.
Therefore,$v \propto t^{\frac{1}{2}}$.

(B) Given: Mass $m = 15 \,kg$, initial velocity $u = 0$.
At $t = 3 \,s$, power $P = 5 \,W$.
Since $P = F \cdot v$ and $v = at = (F/m)t$, we have $P = F \cdot (F/m)t = (F^2/m)t$.
Substituting the values: $5 = (F^2 / 15) \times 3$.
$F^2 = (5 \times 15) / 3 = 25$, so $F = 5 \,N$.
Now, at $t = 4 \,s$, the velocity $v' = (F/m)t = (5/15) \times 4 = 4/3 \,m/s$.
The instantaneous power $P' = F \cdot v' = 5 \times (4/3) = 20/3 \,W \approx 6.67 \,W$.

(C) The power generated by the engine must overcome the frictional force and provide the necessary acceleration to the car.
First,calculate the frictional force $(f)$:
$f = \mu m g = 0.5 \times 1200 \times 10 = 6000 \,N$
Next,calculate the force required for acceleration $(F_a)$:
$F_a = m a = 1200 \times 2 = 2400 \,N$
The total force $(F_T)$ produced by the engine is the sum of the frictional force and the accelerating force:
$F_T = f + F_a = 6000 + 2400 = 8400 \,N$
Finally,calculate the power $(P)$ using the formula $P = F_T v$,where $v = 20 \,m/s$:
$P = 8400 \times 20 = 168000 \,W$

(C) Power $P$ is defined as the rate of change of work done,$P = \frac{dW}{dt} = Fv = (ma)v = m \left(\frac{dv}{dt}\right) v$.
Since $P$ is constant,we have $P dt = mv dv$.
Integrating both sides from $t=0$ to $t$ and $v=0$ to $v$,we get $Pt = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$.
Thus,$v^2 = \frac{2Pt}{m}$.
Also,$v = \frac{dx}{dt}$,so $\frac{dx}{dt} = \sqrt{\frac{2P}{m}} t^{1/2}$.
Integrating with respect to $t$,$x = \sqrt{\frac{2P}{m}} \cdot \frac{2}{3} t^{3/2}$,which implies $t^{3/2} \propto x \Rightarrow t \propto x^{2/3}$.
Substituting $t$ back into the velocity equation: $v^2 \propto t \propto x^{2/3}$,so $v \propto x^{1/3}$.
However,looking at the relationship between $v$ and $P$ at a fixed distance $x$,we have $v^3 \propto P$. Thus,$v^3 \propto \frac{P}{m}$.

(D) The power of the gun is the rate at which kinetic energy is imparted to the bullets.
Number of bullets per second $n = \frac{240}{60} = 4 \ s^{-1}$.
Mass of each bullet $m = 10 \ g = 10 \times 10^{-3} \ kg = 0.01 \ kg$.
Velocity of each bullet $v = 600 \ ms^{-1}$.
Kinetic energy of one bullet $K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 0.01 \times (600)^2 = 0.005 \times 360000 = 1800 \ J$.
Power $P = n \times K = 4 \times 1800 = 7200 \ W$.
Converting to $kW$,$P = \frac{7200}{1000} \ kW = 7.2 \ kW$.

(B) Given: Mass $m = 2 \,kg$, initial velocity $u = 0$, final velocity $v = 20 \,ms^{-1}$ at time $t = 4 \,s$.
First, calculate the acceleration $a$ using the equation $v = u + at$:
$a = \frac{v - u}{t} = \frac{20 - 0}{4} = 5 \,ms^{-2}$.
The constant force $F$ acting on the body is $F = ma = 2 \,kg \times 5 \,ms^{-2} = 10 \,N$.
Now, find the velocity $v'$ of the body at time $t' = 2 \,s$ using $v' = u + at'$:
$v' = 0 + (5 \,ms^{-2} \times 2 \,s) = 10 \,ms^{-1}$.
The instantaneous power $P$ exerted on the body at $t' = 2 \,s$ is given by $P = F \times v'$:
$P = 10 \,N \times 10 \,ms^{-1} = 100 \,W$.

(B) Given:
Mass $m = 2.05 \times 10^6 \ kg$
Initial velocity $v_1 = 5 \ m/s$
Final velocity $v_2 = 25 \ m/s$
Time $t = 5 \ minutes = 5 \times 60 = 300 \ s$
The power $P$ is defined as the rate of change of work done,which is equal to the rate of change of kinetic energy:
$P = \frac{W}{t} = \frac{\Delta KE}{t}$
$P = \frac{\frac{1}{2} m (v_2^2 - v_1^2)}{t}$
Substituting the values:
$P = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2.05 \times 10^6 \times (25^2 - 5^2)}{300}$
$P = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2.05 \times 10^6 \times (625 - 25)}{300}$
$P = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2.05 \times 10^6 \times 600}{300}$
$P = \frac{1}{2} \times 2.05 \times 10^6 \times 2$
$P = 2.05 \times 10^6 \ W = 2.05 \ MW$

(C) Power $P$ is given by $P = Fv$, where $F$ is force and $v$ is velocity.
Since $P$ is constant, $Fv = \text{constant}$.
Using Newton's second law, $F = ma$, so $(ma)v = \text{constant}$.
Since $a = \frac{dv}{dt}$ and $v = \frac{ds}{dt}$, we have $m \left(\frac{dv}{dt}\right)v = P$.
$mv \, dv = P \, dt$.
Integrating both sides: $\int mv \, dv = \int P \, dt \implies \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = Pt$.
Thus, $v^2 \propto t$, which means $v \propto t^{1/2}$.
Since $v = \frac{ds}{dt}$, we have $\frac{ds}{dt} \propto t^{1/2}$.
Integrating with respect to time: $s \propto \int t^{1/2} \, dt$.
$s \propto t^{3/2}$.

(C) Given,Power $(P) =$ constant.
Kinetic Energy $(KE) = \frac{1}{2} m v^{2}$.
We know that,$P = \frac{d(KE)}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}) = m v \frac{dv}{dt}$.
Since $P$ is constant,$m v \frac{dv}{dt} = P$.
Integrating both sides with respect to time $t$:
$\int m v dv = \int P dt \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} m v^{2} = P t$ (assuming initial velocity is $0$ at $t=0$).
$v^{2} = \frac{2 P}{m} t \Rightarrow v = \sqrt{\frac{2 P}{m}} t^{1/2}$.
Since $v = \frac{ds}{dt}$,we have $\frac{ds}{dt} = \sqrt{\frac{2 P}{m}} t^{1/2}$.
Integrating with respect to $t$:
$s = \int \sqrt{\frac{2 P}{m}} t^{1/2} dt = \sqrt{\frac{2 P}{m}} \cdot \frac{t^{3/2}}{3/2} = \frac{2}{3} \sqrt{\frac{2 P}{m}} t^{3/2}$.
Thus,$s \propto t^{3/2}$,which means $s = a t^{3/2}$ where $a$ is a constant.

(D) Power is defined as the rate of doing work,which is equal to the rate of change of kinetic energy $(KE)$ of the particle.
$P = \frac{dW}{dt} = \frac{d(KE)}{dt}$.
Since the power $(P)$ is given as a constant,the rate of change of kinetic energy,$\frac{d(KE)}{dt}$,must also be constant.
Therefore,the rate of change of kinetic energy remains constant.

(C) Given that power $P$ is constant.
We know that $P = F \cdot v = m \cdot a \cdot v = m \cdot \frac{dv}{dt} \cdot v$.
Rearranging the terms,we get $v \cdot dv = \frac{P}{m} \cdot dt$.
Integrating both sides,$\int v \cdot dv = \int \frac{P}{m} \cdot dt$,which gives $\frac{v^2}{2} = \frac{P}{m} \cdot t$.
Thus,$v = \sqrt{\frac{2P}{m}} \cdot t^{\frac{1}{2}}$.
Since $v = \frac{dx}{dt}$,we have $\frac{dx}{dt} = \sqrt{\frac{2P}{m}} \cdot t^{\frac{1}{2}}$.
Integrating with respect to time $t$,$x = \int \sqrt{\frac{2P}{m}} \cdot t^{\frac{1}{2}} \cdot dt = \sqrt{\frac{2P}{m}} \cdot \frac{t^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\frac{3}{2}}$.
Therefore,$x = \frac{2}{3} \sqrt{\frac{2P}{m}} \cdot t^{\frac{3}{2}}$.
Since $P$ and $m$ are constants,$x \propto t^{\frac{3}{2}}$.

(B) Given mass $m = 2 \text{ kg}$ and force $\vec{F} = (2t\hat{i} + 6t^2\hat{j}) \text{ N}$.
Acceleration $\vec{a} = \frac{\vec{F}}{m} = \frac{2t\hat{i} + 6t^2\hat{j}}{2} = (t\hat{i} + 3t^2\hat{j}) \text{ m/s}^2$.
Velocity $\vec{v} = \int \vec{a} \, dt = \int (t\hat{i} + 3t^2\hat{j}) \, dt = (\frac{t^2}{2}\hat{i} + t^3\hat{j}) \text{ m/s}$ (assuming initial velocity is zero).
At $t = 2 \text{ s}$:
Force $\vec{F} = 2(2)\hat{i} + 6(2^2)\hat{j} = (4\hat{i} + 24\hat{j}) \text{ N}$.
Velocity $\vec{v} = \frac{2^2}{2}\hat{i} + 2^3\hat{j} = (2\hat{i} + 8\hat{j}) \text{ m/s}$.
Power $P = \vec{F} \cdot \vec{v} = (4\hat{i} + 24\hat{j}) \cdot (2\hat{i} + 8\hat{j}) = (4 \times 2) + (24 \times 8) = 8 + 192 = 200 \text{ W}$.

(A) Power $P$ is defined as the rate of doing work.
$P = \frac{W}{t} = \frac{mgh}{t}$.
Given values are $m = 1000 \text{ kg}$,$h = 20 \text{ m}$,$t = 10 \text{ s}$,and $g = 9.8 \text{ ms}^{-2}$.
Substituting these values into the formula:
$P = \frac{1000 \times 9.8 \times 20}{10}$
$P = 1000 \times 9.8 \times 2$
$P = 19600 \text{ W}$.
Since $1 \text{ kW} = 1000 \text{ W}$,we have $P = 19.6 \text{ kW}$.
Thus,option $A$ is correct.
