  2. Power (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_(physics)

    One metric horsepower is needed to lift 75 kilograms by 1 metre in 1 second. Power in mechanical systems is the combination of forces and movement. In particular, power is the product of a force on an object and the object's velocity, or the product of a torque on a shaft and the shaft's angular velocity.

  3. Principle of minimum energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_minimum_energy

    This is an application of the minimum energy principle. Alternatively, suppose we have a cylinder containing an ideal gas, with cross sectional area A and a variable height x. Suppose that a weight of mass m has been placed on top of the cylinder. It presses down on the top of the cylinder with a force of mg where g is the acceleration due to ...

    tech: the power the Z machine reaches in 1 billionth of a second when it is fired [citation needed] 3 × 10 14: weather: Hurricane Katrina's rate of release of latent heat energy into the air. [48] 3 × 10 14: tech: power reached by the extremely high-power Hercules laser from the University of Michigan. [citation needed] 4.6 × 10 14

    The amount of amplification provided by an amplifier is measured by its gain: the ratio of output voltage, current, or power to input. An amplifier is a circuit that has a power gain greater than one. [9] [10] [11] amplitude The height of a wave as measured from its center (normal) position. angle of incidence

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    [10] [11] Moreover, words which are synonymous in everyday speech are not so in physics: force is not the same as power or pressure, for example, and mass has a different meaning than weight. [12] [13]: 150 The physics concept of force makes quantitative the everyday idea of a push or a pull. Forces in Newtonian mechanics are often due to ...

  7. Inclined plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclined_plane

    The input force from this equation is the force needed to hold the load motionless on the inclined plane, or push it up at a constant velocity. If the input force is greater than this, the load will accelerate up the plane. If the force is less, it will accelerate down the plane.

  8. Newton (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton_(unit)

    A newton is defined as 1 kg⋅m/s 2 (it is a named derived unit defined in terms of the SI base units). [1]: 137 One newton is, therefore, the force needed to accelerate one kilogram of mass at the rate of one metre per second squared in the direction of the applied force.

  9. AC power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power

    Power Factor is very important in Power sector substations. Form the national grid the sub sectors are required to have minimum amount of power factor. Otherwise there are many loss. Mainly the required vary around 0.90 to 0.96 or more. Better the power factor less the loss.
