Which of the following are examples of energy being conserved? Choose all that apply A light bulb constantly changes electrical

energy into light energy. A plant collects sunlight to form glucose, storing the energy as potential energy. A car uses its breaks to stop suddenly, causing the tires to heat up. Your friend proposes an idea for a fan that doesn't require electricity or a fuel source.

The only one on that list that DOESN'T involve conservation of energy is your friend's cockamamie idea.  

-- A light bulb constantly changes electrical energy into light energy.  The heat energy and light energy coming out of the bulb add up to exactly the amount of electrical energy that it consumes.  Energy is conserved.

-- A plant collects sunlight to form glucose, storing the energy as potential energy.  The plant stores CHEMICAL energy in the glucose ... the same amount as the energy it absorbed from the sunlight.  Energy is conserved.

-- A car uses its breaks to stop suddenly, causing the tires to heat up.  The car's brakes (sp!) convert some of the car's kinetic energy ... slowing or stopping the car ... into that same amount of heat energy.  Energy is conserved.

-- Your friend proposes an idea for a fan that doesn't require electricity or a fuel source.  Well first of all, the heat that your friend's brain produced in the process of THINKING up the idea WAS the same as the amount of chemical energy from the food he ate that he used to operate his brain.  Energy is conserved in THAT part of the process.  

And that's why his idea will never work.  He's telling you that his fan will turn itself (kinetic energy) and move some air (more kinetic energy), but you won't have to put any energy INTO it.  So he claims that new energy, that never existed before, will be created inside the fan, and if you run the fan inside a closed, insulated room, the amount of energy inside the room will increase.

IF there was any way that this could work, your friend could just run his fan all day, SELL the energy that it manufactured, and be the most fabulously wealthy individual who ever lived.

It's never gonna happen.  His idea can't work, because energy is not conserved in it.

La ecuación de la posición de una esferita está dada por: r(t)=(2.Cos(πt) i-3.Sen(πt) j) (m) ¿Cuál es la velocidad de la esferit
katovenus [111]

Answer:

v = (-4.44 i^ + 6.66 j^ )  m/s, a_average =( 0 i^ -2π j^) m/s²

Explanation:

The expression left corresponds to an oscillatory movement (MAS), the speed is defined by

         v = dr / dt

the function of position

         r = 2 cos πt  i^  + 3 sin πt  j^

let us note that it is a movement in two dimensions

let's perform the derivative

          v = -2π sin πt  i^  + 3π cos πt  j^

we evaluate this expression for t = 0.25 s, remember that the angle is in radians

          v = -2π sin (π 0.25) i^ + 3π cos (π 0.25) j^

           v = (-4.44 i^ + 6.66 j^ )  m/s

To calculate the mean acceleration we use the expression

           a = (v_{f} - v_{o}) / Δt

 

indicates that the time is the first 3 s

       

we look for the initial velocity t = 0 s

           v₀ = 0 i ^ + 3π j ^

         

we look for the fine velocity, t = 3 s

          v_f = - 2π sin (π 3) + 3π cos (π 3) j ^

          v_f = 0 i ^ - 3π j ^

we calculate the average acceleration

            Δt = (3 -0) = 3 s

           a_average = (0-0) / 3 i ^ + (-3π - 3π) / 3

           a_average = (0 i ^ -2π j ^ ) m/s²

An 7.5 × binocular has 3.7-cm-focal-length eyepieces. What is the focal length of the objective lenses? Express your answer to t
elixir [45]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept of magnification, which is given as the relationship between the focal length of the eyepieces and the focal length of the objective. This relationship can be expressed mathematically as,

\mu = \frac{f_0}{f_e}

Here,

\mu = Magnification

f_e = Focal length eyepieces

f_0 = Focal length of the Objective

Rearranging to find the focal length of the objective

f_0 = \mu f_e

Replacing with our values

f_0 = 7.5* 3.7cm

f_0 = 27.75cm

Therefore the focal length of th eobjective lenses is 27.75cm

2. Do you think the density of the ice affected the melting rate of the ice, or do you think adding the objects affected the mel
Setler [38]

The density of ice does not affect its melting rate. Adding objects will affect the melting rate.

  • A physical process called melting or fusing causes a substance to change its phase from a solid to a liquid. This happens when the solid's internal energy rises, usually as a result of heat or pressure being applied, which raises the substance's temperature to the melting point.
  • The term "density" refers to an extensive quality, which means that it is independent of the substance's concentration. Every substance in the world demonstrates its distinctive density. Since it does not fluctuate, it would not affect the rate of melting. The addition of the objects could speed up the process, though, as each one generates heat that could act as the mediating force for the melting process.
