A child is sliding down a slide at the playgound. is mechanicalenergy conserved

Physics
1 answer:
Flauer [41]3 years ago
5 0

No. Mechanical energy is not conserved.  There's quite a bit of friction on the slide.  So some of the potential energy is lost to heat on the way down, and the child arrives at the bottom with hot pants and less kinetic energy than you might expect.

A race car accelerates from 0.00m/s to 40.0m/s with a displacement of 50.0m. What was the cars
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion v² = u²+2as

v is the final velocity = 40m/s

u is the iniyail velocity 0m/s

a is the acceleration

s is the displacement

Substituting in the formula;

40² = 0²+2a(50)

1600 = 100a

Divide both sides by 100

100a/100 = 1600/100

a = 16

Hence the car acceleration is 16m/s²

A gas has an initial volume of 212 cm3 at a temperature of 293 K and a pressure of 0.98 atm. What is the final pressure of the g
Marizza181 [45]
Using the pressure law (P1 x V1)/ T1 = (P2 x V2)/ T2 where P1= the initial pressure V1= initial volume T1= initial temperature and P2= the final pressure V2= the final volume T2 = the final temperature and temperature is always in kelvin

a lump of putty and a rubber ball have equal mass. both are thrown with equal speed against a wall. the putty sticks to the wall
RUDIKE [14]
The bouncy ball experiences the greater momentum change.

To understand why, you need to remember that momentum is actually
a vector quantity ... it has a size AND it has a direction too.

The putty and the ball have the same mass, and you throw them
with the same speed.  So, on the way from your hand to the wall,
they both have the same momentum.
Call it " M in the direction toward the wall ".

After they both hit the wall:

-- The putty has zero momentum.
    Its momentum changed by an amount of  M .

-- The ball has momentum of " M in the direction away from the wall ".
    Its momentum changed by an amount of  2M .
