It is also known as biogenesis, reproduction, or procreation in the biological sciences. Generation is also often used synonymously with cohort in social science; under this formulation it means people within a delineated population who experience the same significant events within a given period of time.
Power in physics is the amount of work done divided by the time it takes, or the rate of work. Hereâs what that looks like in equation form: Assume you have two speedboats of equal mass, and you want to know which one will get you up to a speed of 120 miles per hour faster.
You can measure electricity in watts, amps, volts, and ohms. Each of these units of measurement relate to a specific aspect of electricity. (See Electric Terms). Electric use is measured in watt-hours, kilowatt-hours, and megawatt-hours. It calculated using the following formula: Energy = Power x Time. In other words, you can measure electricity by multiplying the amount of required watts by the number of watt-hours used. Letâs consider a 200-watt incandescent light bulb. In an average month, letâs suppose youâll use the light bulb for 300 hours.
