The chemical energy of petrol is converted to heat energy on combustion. The heat energy is converted to kinetic energy by the use of internal combustion engines in vehicles. The law of conservation of energy is maintained in each process.

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>

The kinetic energy of an object is associated with its motion. It can be related to the mass and velocity as

K.E = 1/2 mv²

Given is a diagram of energy conversion due to combustion.

The chemical energy of petrol is converted to heat energy on combustion. The heat energy is converted to kinetic energy by the use of internal combustion engines in vehicles.

The law of conservation of energy states that the energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can be only converted to one form to the other.

In the given process, the mass decreases but energy remains the same in all forms of energy.

Hence, the law of conservation of energy is maintained in each process

A car starts from rest and after 10 seconds is traveling at 20 m/s. Assuming that it continues to accelerate at the same rate it

Alenkinab [10]

Assuming that it continues to accelerate at the same rate it will take another 10 seconds to reach 40 m/s.

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the first question states that there is a change in the velocity from rest to 20 m/s in 10 seconds time interval. So the acceleration experienced by the car during this 10 seconds should be determined first as follows:

Acceleration = (final velocity-initial velocity)/Time

Acceleration = (20-0)/10 = 2 m/s².

So this means the car is traveling with an acceleration of 2 m/s².

As it is stated that the car continues to move with same acceleration, then in the second case, the acceleration is fixed as 2 m/s², initial velocity as 20 m/s and final velocity as 40 m/s. So the time taken for the car to reach this velocity with the constant acceleration value will be as follows:

Time = Change in velocity/Acceleration

Time = (40-20)/2 = 20/2=10 s

So again in another 10 seconds by the car to reach 40 m/s from 20 m/s. Similarly the car will take a total of 20 seconds to reach from rest to 40 m/s value for velocity.

A jar of tea is placed in sunlight until it

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

m = 4.44 [g]

Explanation:

This is a problem related to heat transfer and thermodynamics. The second law of thermodynamics tells us that heat goes in only one direction, from the highest temperature substance to the lowest temperature. In this case the heat goes from tea to ice. The heat transfer process could be defined as the heat rejection of one body will be equal to the Heat received by another body.

$Q_{out}=Q_{in}\\Q_{out}=m*cp*(T_{f}-T_{i})$

Where:

m = mass = 177[g] = 0.177[kg]

Cp = specific heat = 4186 [J/kg*C]

T_f = 29.1 [°C]

Ti = 31.1 [°C]

Q = 0.177*4186*(29.1 - 31.1)

Q = - 1481.8 [J]

Note: The negative sign means that the heat is rejected.

Recall that the heat rejected is equal to the heat transferred

As the ice is going through a phase change, the fusion latent heat should be used, i.e. when it passes from solid to liquid. The heat transfer for this process is calculated with the following expression.

Qin = m *hf

m = mass of the ice [kg]

hf = Fusion latent heat = 333700 [J/kg]

1481.8 = m * 333700

m = 0.00444 [kg] = 4.44 [g]

A 1.0 kg cart moving right at 5.0 m/s on a frictionless track collides with a second cart moving at 2.0m/s. The 1.0 kg cart has

____ [38]

Answer:

m₂ = 3kg

Explanation:

The question wasn't clear about what direction the initial velocity of the second cart was, so I'll assume it was going left at 2.0m/s.

Anyway, this is a conservation of momentum problem. The equation you need to use is the one written in blue. They want you to solve for the mass of the second cart, so do some algebra and rearrange that blue equation in term of m₂.

Now that you have the equation for m₂, plug in all the values given from the question and you'll get 3kg.
