Give an example of how electrical energy and thermal energy are connected.

1 answer:

3 0

A toaster draws electric current (electrical energy) from a wall outlet and converts these moving electric charges into heat (thermal energy) in the filaments that turn red hot to cook your toast. ... As electricity runs through the filaments in a space heater, the electrical energy is converted into heat (thermal energy).
Hopefully this helped.

A 72.8-kg swimmer is standing on a stationary 265-kg floating raft. The swimmer then runs off the raft horizontally with a veloc

nalin [4]

Answer:

-1.43 m/s relative to the shore

Explanation:

Total momentum must be conserved before and after the run. Since they were both stationary before, their total speed, and momentum, is 0, so is the total momentum after the run off:

$m_sv_s + m_rv_r = 0$

where $m_s = 72.8, m_r = 265$ are the mass of the swimmer and raft, respectively. $v_s = 5.21 m/s, v_r$ are the velocities of the swimmer and the raft after the run, respectively. We can solve for $v_r$

$265v_r + 72.8*5.21 = 0$

$v_b = -72.8*5.21/265 = -1.43 m/s$

So the recoil velocity that the raft would have is -1.43 m/s after the swimmer runs off, relative to the shore
