Elastic energy of rubber straps is converted into the kinetic energy of the capsule which is converted into  gravitational potential energy as capsule.

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

In accordance with the law of energy conservation, energy is neither created nor destroyed but can be converted from one form to another. This implies that energy is not lost and continues to exist.

The energy conversion that takes place as the 'rider' is strapped in is fired high into the sky by rubber straps is elastic energy of rubber straps is converted into the kinetic energy of the capsule which is converted into  gravitational potential energy as capsule.

What is larger a Atom or a Molecule?
Kipish [7]
I believe an Atom is a very powerful source, the basic unit of a chemical element. An atom is a source of nuclear energy.


But a molecule on the other hand isn't so different.
a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction.
I hope that helps, have a fantastic day!

Speedy Sue, driving at 34.0 m/s, enters a one-lane tunnel. She then observes a slow-moving van 160 m ahead traveling at 5.20 m/s
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

there will be collision

Explanation:

v_{s} =  speed of sue = 34 m/s

v_{v} = speed of van = 5.20 m/s

v_{sv} = speed of sue relative to van  = v_{s} - v_{v} = 34 - 5.20 = 28.8 m/s

d_{s} = stopping distance after brakes are applied

D = distance between sue and van = 160 m

v_{f} = final speed of sue = 0 m/s

a = acceleration = - 1.80 m/s²

Using the kinematics equation

v_{f}^{2} = v_{o}^{2} + 2 a d_{s}

0^{2} = 28.8^{2} + 2 (1.80) d_{s}

d_{s} = 230.4 m

Since  d_{s} < D

hence there will be collision

Describe the principle of conversation of energy:
exis [7]

Answer: Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, rather it is converted from one form to another

Explanation:

The principle of conversation of energy explains how energy is conserved in nature by being converted from one form to another such that no energy is created nor destroyed.

Practical examples include:

- electrical pressing iron that converts electrical energy to heat energy

- solar panels that converts solar energy to electrical energy

- Car batteries that converts chemical energy to light energy etc

Which of the following is an example of work being done on an object?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

d. All of these

Explanation:

work is said to be done when a force is applied to an object through a certain distance. the SI unit of workdone is joules or newton per meter

mathematically

workdone = force x distance.

from the answers,  work is being done because there is force applied in a certain distance.

  • from wagon is used to carry vegetables from a garden.
  • pulley is used to get water from a well.
  • hammer is used to remove a nail from a wall.

Consider horizontal parallel plates with a fixed potential difference. The upper plate has a voltage difference of 30 V with the
BlackZzzverrR [31]

relation between potential difference and electric field is given as

E . d = \Delta V

so here we know that

d = 3 cm

\Delta V = 30 V

E \times 0.03 = 30

E = 1000 N/C

So now when plates are separated to 4 cm distance carefully

the potential difference between them will change but the electric field between them will remain constant

So at distance of 4 cm also the electric field will be E = 1000 N/C
