Answer: The correct answer is "Chemical energy transforms into gravitational potential energy".

Explanation:

In the given problem, an engine runs to power a car. The internal combustion engine in the car is gasoline which converts chemical energy into the thermal energy. Then, this thermal energy gets converted into kinetic energy by causing to power a car.

The chemical energy is obtained from the fuel which is in an engine of the car converts into thermal energy.

The thermal energy is generated in an engine of the car converts into the electrical energy so that the car can be started.

There is no use of gravitational potential energy in a car as it is due to the height above the ground.

Therefore, the correct option is (3).

3. Chemical energy transforms into gravitational potential energy.

Explanation:

First of all, let's check the definition for each type of energy:

- Chemical energy is the energy stored in the chemical bonds inside compounds and substances

- Thermal energy is the energy due to the random motion of atoms/molecules (heat)

- Electrical energy is the energy related to the motion of electrical charges

- Gravitational potential energy is the energy of an object which is placed at some height above the ground

- Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion

Given this definition, we can check each energy transformation to see which one are really involved in the engine used to power the car:

1. Chemical energy transforms into thermal energy. --> YES. This one is present: in fact, the chemical energy contained in the fuel is converted inside the engine into heat (thermal energy)

2. Thermal energy transforms into electrical energy. --> YES. The heat (thermal energy) used in the engine is converted into electrical energy used to turn on the car.

3. Chemical energy transforms into gravitational potential energy. --> NO. There is no gravitational potential energy involved in this example, since the car runs on the ground.

4. Thermal energy transforms into kinetic energy. --> YES. The heat (thermal energy) used in the engine is converted into energy of motion of the car.

Therefore, Tracy should remove option 3) from her list.

Blocks A and B of unknown masses m1 and m2, respectively, are set up on an inclined plane as shown. Block A is attached to block
Korvikt [17]

Newton's second law we can find that the correct answer is:  

 E)  It cannot be determiner whick block has more masses from the information provided

Newton's second law establishes the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration of a body. Since force and acceleration are vector quantities, their components must be added on each axis

For this problem we have two bodies, let's write Newton's second law for the body B, we assume that the body B descends

            W_b - T = m_b a

            W_b  = m_b g

            m_b - T = m_b a

Where W_b is the weight of block B, T the tension of the string, mb the mass of block b and the acceleration

Now let's find the relation for block A

let's set a datum with the x axis parallel to the ramp

           T - Wₓ = mₐ a

           sin θ = Wₓ / W

            Wₓ = Wₐ sin θ

             Wₐ = mₐ g

Where Wₓ is the component of the weight, Wₐ the weight of the body A and θ the angle of the plane

Let's write our system of equations

           m_b g - T = m_b a

           T - mₐ g sin θ = mₐ a

let's add the equations

            g (m_b - mₐ sin θ) = (m_b + mₐ) a

            a =   \frac{m_b - m_a \ sin  \ \theta}{m_b+m_a} \ g

Let's analyze this expression

  • The numerator is positive the body B descends, this occurs when

          m_b - mₐ sin θ > 0

           

  • The numerator is negative, body B rises

           m_b - mₐ  sin θ <0

We can observe that the acceleration is positive or negative depending on the relation of the masses and the angle of the plane.

In conclusion using Newton's second law we find that the correct answer is  

 E )   It cannot be determiner whick block has more masses from the information provided

a shot putter releases the shot some distance above the level ground with a velocity of 12.0 m/s, 51.0 ∘above the horizontal. th
Savatey [412]

Answer:

15.7 m

Explanation:

The range (horizontal distance) of the projectile is determined only by its horizontal motion.

The horizontal motion is a motion with constant speed, which is equal to the initial horizontal velocity of the object:

v_x = v cos \theta

where

v = 12.0 m/s is the initial velocity

\theta=51.0^{\circ} is the angle between the direction of v and the horizontal

Substituting,

v_x = (12.0 m/s)(cos 51.0^{\circ} )=7.55 m/s

We know that the projectile hits the ground in a time of

t = 2.08 s

so the horizontal distance covered is

d = v_x t = (7.55 m/s)(2.08 s)=15.7 m
