The thermal energy that is generated due to friction is 344J.

<h3>What is the thermal energy?</h3>

Now we know that the total mechanical energy in the system is constant. The loss in energy is given by the loss in energy.

Thus, the kinetic energy is given as;

KE = 0.5 * mv^2 =0.5 * 15.0-kg * (1.10 m/s)^2 = 9.1 J

PE = mgh = 15.0-kg * 9.8 m/s^2 *  2.40 m = 352.8 J

The thermal energy is; 352.8 J - 9.1 J = 344J

For a projectile launched horizontally, which of the following best describes the downward component of a projectile's velocity?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

C. The downward component of the projectile's velocity continually increases

Explanation:

The motion of a projectile consists of two independent motions:  

- A uniform motion (with constant velocity) along the horizontal direction  

- A uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration (equal to the acceleration of gravity) in the downward direction  

Here we want to study the downward component of the projectile's velocity. Since the vertical motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, the vertical velocity is given by:

v=u+at

where

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity (zero since the projectile is fired horizontally)

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 downward is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

So the equation becomes

v=gt

This means that

C. The downward component of the projectile's velocity continually increases

Because every second, it increases by 9.8 m/s in the downward direction.

a child pulls on a string that is attached to a car. if the child does 80.2 J of work while pulling the car 25.0 m, with what fo
12345 [234]

Answer:

F = 3.20 N

Explanation:

Given:

Work done by child = 80.2 j

Distance that the car moves = 25.0 m

We need to find the force acting on the car.

Solution:

Using work done formula as.

W = F\times d

Where:

W = Work done by any object.

F = Force (push or pull)

d = distance that the object moves.

Substitute W = 80.2\ J\ and\ d =25.0\ m in work done formula.

80.2 = F\times 25

F=\frac{80.2}{25}

F = 3.20 N

Therefore, force acting on the car F = 3.20 N

How many position coordinates are required to identify the position of a system undergoing one-dimensional motion? What symbol s
gregori [183]
One-dimensional motion can be plotted through the Cartesian plane which has a coordinates of (x,y). These coordinates are the abscissa and ordinates. Since, there are two coordinates, the answer to the second item is two.

The symbol that can be used to identify systems position is (x,y). Since this is one dimensional motion, it is possible that one of the two coordinates becomes zero.
