Answer:

C. Chemical energy

Explanation:

The fuel used in car is a chemical substance and has chemical properties in it.

When the car is turned on, the fuel burns giving a thrust to car to move, process of fuel burning is called as combustion.  But the energy that has allowed the fuel to combust is called as the chemical energy.

While a chemical reaction takes places, energy is either released or absorbed. In this case fuel is burned and the released energy helps tp move the car.

Answer: The option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Ignition is the process in which the fuel is made to start burn. In car's ignition, it is the part where the key is turned so that the engine may get start.

The fossil fuel which is used in the car's engine is petroleum. Therefore, the chemical energy is used to allow the fuel to burn and move the car.

The buoyant force on an object fully submerged in a liquid depends on (select all that apply)
Natasha_Volkova [10]
2. The object's volume.
 3. The density of the liquid.  
Remember what the buoyant force is. It's the lifting force caused by the displacement of a fluid. I'm using the word fluid because it can be either a liquid or gas. For instance a helium balloon floats due to the buoyant force exceeding the mass of the balloon. So let's look at the options and see what's correct. 
 1. Object's mass
 * This doesn't affect the buoyant force directly. It can have an effect if the object's mass is lower than the buoyant force being exerted. Think of a boat as an example. The boat is floating on the top of the water. If cargo is loaded into the boat, the boat sinks further into the water until the increased buoyant force matches the increased mass of the boat. But if the density of the object exceeds the density of the fluid, then increasing the mass of the object will not affect the buoyant force. So this is a bad choice. 
 2. The object's volume.
 * Yes, this directly affects the buoyant force. So this is a good choice. 
 3. The density of the liquid.
 * Yes, this directly affects the buoyant force. You can drop a piece of iron into water and it will sink. You could also drop that same piece of iron into mercury and it will float. The reason is that mercury has a much higher density than water. So this is a good choice. 
 4. Mass of the liquid
 * No. Do not mistake mass for density. As a mental exercise, imagine the buoyant force on a small piece of metal dropped into a swimming pool. Now imagine the buoyant force on that same piece of metal dropped into a lake. In both cases, the buoyant force is the same, yet the lake has a far greater mass of water than the swimming pool. So this is a bad choice.

a 0.0780 kg lemming runs off a 5.36 m high cliff at 4.84 m/s. what is its kinetic energy(KE) when it jumps PLEASE HELP ME
Kay [80]

Answer:

0.91 J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

For the lemming in this problem, when he jumps, we have:

m = 0.0780 kg is the mass

v = 4.84 m/s is the speed

Substituting into the equation, we find:

K=\frac{1}{2}(0.0780)(4.84)^2=0.91 J
