Answer:

True

Explanation:

- A conservative force is a force whose work done does not depend on the path taken, but only on the final and starting point.

- The mechanical energy of an object is defined as the sum of the kinetic energy (K) and the potential energy (U): E = K + U

- The law of conservation of energy states that, in case only conservative forces are acting on the object, the mechanical energy of the object E is conserved

- In case non-conservative forces are acting on the object, the mechanical energy is no longer constant. An example of non-conservative force is the force of friction: when the force of friction is acting on a car in motion, the car is slowed down by the effect of the force, losing some of its kinetic energy, K. If the car is travelling on a flat road, then its potential energy U does not change: this means that the mechanical energy of the car, E, is decreasing, so it is no longer conserved.

An airplane cabin is pressurized to 570 mmhg. what is the pressure inside the cabin in atmospheres?
abruzzese [7]
1 atm corresponds to 760 mmHg, so we can set up a simple proportion to find how many atmospheres correspond to 570 mmHg:
1 atm: 760 mmHg = x: 570 mmHg
and from this, we find
x= \frac{1 atm \cdot 570 mmHg}{760 mmHg} =0.75 atm

A mover applies a net force of 28 N to a sofa that has a mass of 70 kg.
Alinara [238K]

Answer: .4 m/s^2= acceleration

Explanation:

f = m*a

We can rearrange this equation to solve for acceleration. Therefore,

a=f/m

a= 28N/70kg

a= 0.4 m/s^2
