Can someone explain the law of conservation of energy?

Physics

Bad White [126]3 years ago

The law of conservation of energy is:

-- Energy can't be created or destroyed.

-- Energy can't just appear out of nowhere.  If you suddenly have
more energy, then the 'extra' energy had to come from somewhere.

-- Energy can't just disappear.  If you suddenly have less energy,
then the 'missing' energy had to go somewhere.
________________________________________

There are also conservation laws for mass and electric charge.
They say exactly the same thing.  Just write 'mass' or 'charge'
in the sentences up above, in place of the word 'energy'.
________________________________________

And now I can tell you that the conservation laws for energy and mass
are actually one single law ... the conservation of mass/energy.  That's
because we discovered about 100 years ago that mass can convert
into energy, and energy can convert into mass, and it's the total of BOTH
of them that gets conserved (can't be created or destroyed).

How much mass makes how much energy ?

The answer is        E = m c²  .

C. turtles with genes for long necks had a better chance of surviving to reach reproductive age.

Explanation:

The turtles that had long necks were more fit to the environmnet in which they were lovated and were able to grow larger and have more reproductive time because of their ability to feed on grass and small shrubs, this helped them always haev food available, and made them the dominant gene eventually.

If each of the charges is increased by two times and the distance between them is also increased by two times, the electromagnet
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer: The force does not change.

Explanation:

The force between two charges q₁ and q₂ is:

F = k*(q₁*q₂)/r^2

where:

k is a constant.

r is the distance between the charges.

Now, if we increase the charge of each particle two times, then the new charges will be: 2*q₁ and 2*q₂.

If we also increase the distance between the charges two times, the new distance will be 2*r

Then the new force between them is:

F = k*(2*q₁*2*q₂)/(2*r)^2 = k*(4*q₁*q₂)/(4*r^2) = (4/4)*k*(q₁*q₂)/r^2 = k*(q₁*q₂)/r^2

This is exactly the same as we had at the beginning, then we can conclude that if we increase each of the charges two times and the distance between the charges two times, the force between the charges does not change.
