Describe a process that converts chemical energy to thermal energy

1 answer:

7 0

The energy stored in the chemical bonds are released and the energy causes surrounding molecules to move faster. Chemical energy released as the coal is burned heats water and turns it to steam

(a) If the coefficient of kinetic friction between tires and dry pavement is 0.80, what is the shortest distance in which you ca

Colt1911 [192]

a) 52.5 m

b) 16.0 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of a car slowed down by friction is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can use the following suvat equation:

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where

v = 0 is the final velocity (the car comes to a stop)

u = 28.7 m/s is the initial velocity of the car

a is the acceleration

s is the stopping distance

For a car acted upon the force of friction, the acceleration is given by the ratio between the force of friction and the mass of the car, so:

$a=\frac{-\mu mg}{m}=-\mu g$

where:

$\mu=0.80$ is the coefficient of friction

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity

Substituting and solving for s, we find:

$s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{-2\mu g}=\frac{0-(28.7)^2}{-2(0.80)(9.8)}=52.5 m$

In this case, the car is moving on a wet road. Therefore, the coefficient of kinetic friction is

$\mu=0.25$

Here we want the stopping distance of the car to remain the same as part a), so

$s=52.5 m$

We can use again the same suvat equation:

$v^2-u^2=2as$

And since the final velocity is zero

u = 0

We can find the initial velocity of the car:

$v=\sqrt{2as}=\sqrt{2\mu gs}=\sqrt{2(0.25)(9.8)(52.5)}=16.0 m/s$

A person is filling a knee-high bucket with water using a garden hose and holding it such that water discharges from the hose at

Serggg [28]

Answer:

Yes i am agree with this suggestion

Explanation:

Given that we have to assume that there is no any frictional affects.

As we know that when height increases then the discharge level will decreases when discharge level decreases then the time of filling for the bucket will increase.So the bucket will fill faster if the hose lowered until knee level.

Yes i am agree with this suggestion

Which set of shapes contains members that are always similar to one another?

Colt1911 [192]

<span>The correct answer is option C. i.e.Equilateral triangles. All equilateral triangle have equal sides. Due to this these set of shapes will always be similar. Similarity in the sense that only the size of the triangles can change to large or smaller but the shape will be be similar always.</span>
