Answer:
It has been converted into thermal energy due to friction
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but only transformed from one form into another.
Applied to this problem, it means that the total initial energy of the spring-toy system must be conserved.
Therefore:
- At the beginning, the total energy stored in the spring is 10 J
- After the toy is released, the total energy must still be 10 J.
In reality, we are told that the kinetic energy of the car is only 8 J. The other 2 J have not been destroyed, but they have been converted into thermal energy, due to the presence of frictional forces that act against the motion of the toy car.
Answer:
The astronaut can throw the hammer in a direction away from the space station. While he is holding the hammer, the total momentum of the astronaut and hammer is 0 kg • m/s. According to the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum after he throws the hammer must still be 0 kg • m/s. In order for momentum to be conserved, the astronaut will have to move in the opposite direction of the hammer, which will be toward the space station.
Explanation:
Answer:
4 Ohms
Explanation:
Apply the formula:
Voltage = I (current) . Resistance
You can change it the way you want to use for your purpose.
In this case...
R = V/I
R = 12/3
R = 4 Ohms (Ohm is the unit of measurement of eletrical resistance)
