A machine makes work easier by reducing force and increasing?
Work equals force times distance. In reality, you don't decrease the force by the same proportion that you increase the distance because of friction. In English, you need less power (work per unit of time) to complete the task, but it takes more work (energy) because of more distance of friction.
The unit of work is the?
The same as the SI unit for energy - the joule.The same as the SI unit for energy - the joule.The same as the SI unit for energy - the joule.The same as the SI unit for energy - the joule.
How do you convert MWh to MW?
MWh is a unit of energy whereas, MW is a unit of power. Energy and power are two words often confusingly interchanged. Energy is the amount of work done, whereas power is the rate of doing work. One MWh (Mega Watt Hour) is a million watts of power applied over the period of an hour. One MW (Mega Watt) is a million watts. 1 Watt is 1 Joule per second. To convert MWh to MW, you should divide MWh by the time applied in hours. MWh = MW * Hours, and respectively MW = MWh / Hours E.g. Some electrical equipment used 84 MWh is the total energy measured by a electricity meter over 12 hours operation. What is the power rating of the equipment in MW? 84 MWh / 12 hours = 7 MW
