The conservation of energy is a principle stating that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be altered from one form to another. With that said. Potential Energy would be like a Rubber band, just sitting there, nothing will happen, however when one picks it up, and stretches it between the fingers, and then lets go of it, Potential energy from the still rubber band becomes Kinetic energy as it flies through the air. 
Kinetic meaning motion. Potential meaning not moving however it has the potential for moving as I described above. Hope this helps.

Cual sera el caudal que lleva un rio cuando se desplaza a 200 litros cada 40 segundos
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Q = 5 L/s

Explanation:

To find the flow you use the following formula (para calcular el caudal usted utiliza la siguiente formula):

Q=\frac{V}{t}

V: Volume (volumen) = 200L

t: time (tiempo) = 40 s

you replace the values of the parameters to calculate Q (usted reemplaza los valores de los parámteros V y t para calcular el caudal):

Q=\frac{200L}{40s}=5\frac{L}{s}

Hence, the flow is 5 L/s (por lo tanto, el caudal es de 5L/s)

Why would knowing the characteristics of circuits be important in designing electrical circuits?
zubka84 [21]
Well if you didn't you could make mistakes, which would lead ,in the best case, at a fail of the circuit , or if it goes out of control it could be dangerous

for example you have to know that the wires become hot and they loose their abbilitys as connecters(the hotter it will, the more energy you lose becouse the R will be bigger)

An object has a mass of 13.5 kilograms. What force is required to accelerate it to a rate of 9.5 m/s2?
Zigmanuir [339]
Force can be expressed as the product of mass and acceleration. Mathematically, that's F = m(a). Plugging the given into the equation, we have F = (13.5 kg)(9.5 m/s²) = 128.3 kg.m/s² or 128.3 N<span>. </span>

What's the voltage drop running through the parallel portion of the circuit?
Leni [432]
R 3/4 = (R3 * R4) / (R3 + R 4) = ( 9 * 18 ) /(9 + 18 ) = 162 / 27 = 6 Ohms
R e = R 1 + R 2 + R 3/4 + R 5 = 3 + 6 + 6 + 15 = 30 Ohms
I = U / Re = 90 V / 30 Ohms = 3 A
Finally for the voltage U 3/4 ( the parallel portion of the circuit ):
U 3/4 = 6 Ohms * 3 A = 18 V
Answer: 18 V
