When you used the energy in our body to pull the rubber band, it was transformed into elastic potential energy. We know that ene
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Converted to heat energy

Explanation:

Some of the elastic potential energy is transformed into heat energy. When we stretch a rubber band, it is often observed that the rubber becomes warmer after the stretch and even during the stretch.

Some energy in the band initially at rest will be converted into elastic potential energy and heat energy as it is stretched .

  • The heat energy is not usually accounted for since the major concern most times is the elastic energy.
  • In this process, heat energy becomes a waste energy.
  • By deducing the efficiency, we would find that this transformation is not efficient as predicted by one of the laws of thermodynamics.

A 1.5-kilogram cart initially moves at 2.0 meters per second. It is brought to rest by a constant net force in 0.30 second. What
AnnZ [28]
Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (speed at the end) minus (speed at the beginning.

The cart's acceleration is

                               (0 - 2 m/s) / (0.3 sec)

                           = ( -2 / 0.3 ) (m/s²)  =  -(6 and 2/3) m/s² .

Newton's second law of motion says

                             Force = (mass) x (acceleration) .

For this cart:      Force = (1.5 kg) x ( - 6-2/3 m/s²)

                                       = ( - 1.5 x 20/3 ) (kg-m/s²)

<span>                                       =      </span>- 10 newtons .

<span>The force is negative because it acts opposite to the direction </span>
<span>in which the cart is moving, it causes a negative acceleration, </span>
<span>and it eventually stops the cart.</span>

A long, rigid conductor, lying along an x axis, carries a current of 4.99 A in the negative x direction. A magnetic field is pre
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Current in conductor=I=4.99 A  (-x direction)

Magnetic field=B=3.72\hat{i}+8.72x^2\hat{j}mT=(3.72i+8.72x^2j)\times 10^{-3}

(1mT=10^{-3} T)

x(in m) and B (in mT)

Length of conductor is given in negative x- direction

\vec{L}=-x\hat{i}

dL=-dx\hat{i}

Force on current carrying conductor is given by

F=I(L\times B)

dF=I(dL\times B)

Integrating on both sides then we get

\vec{F}=\int_{1.41}^{2.77}(4.99)(-dx\hat{i}\times (3.72\hat{i}+8.72x^2\hat{j}))\times 10^{-3}

\vec{F}=-\int_{1.41}^{2.77}(4.99\times 10^{-3})\cdot 8.72(x^2\hat{k})dx  (i\times i=0, i\times j=k

\vec{F}=-(4.99\times 10^{-3}\times 8.72)[\frac{x^3\hat{k}}{3}]^{2.77}_{1.41}

\vec{F}=-\frac{(4.99\times 10^{-3}\cdot 8.72)}{3}((2.77)^3-(1.41)^3)\hat{k}

\vec{F}=-0.268 \hat{k} N

a. x- component of force=0

b.y- component of force=0

c.z- component of force=-0.268 N

An airplane dropped a flare from a height of 2860 feet above a lake. How many seconds did it take for the flare to reach the wat
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: 13.2 seconds.

Explanation: using equation of motion; S= ut +1/2at² where u = initial velocity=0

S= distance travelled

a = acceleration due gravity

t= time.

1 foot = 0.305m so,

S= 2860 feet =872.3m

S= ut+1/2 at²

872.3 = 0×t + 1/2×10 × t²

872.3 =0 + 5t²

T²= 872.3/5

T²= 174.46

Take the square root of T we then have;

t = 13.2 seconds to one decimal place.
