The spring of a toy car stores 10 J of potential energy. Only 8 J of energy changes to kinetic energy as the car moves. What hap

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.

Determine whether each statement concerning different wavelengths of light is true or false.
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Light with a wavelength of 100 nm is completely absorbed by the atmosphere. True

Light with a wavelength of 400 nm has the color of red. False

Light with a wavelength of 280 nm is in the ultraviolet region. False

Explanation:

Light of wavelength 0-100nm can be absorbed by the earths atmosphere

Ultraviolet light ranges between 320-400nm hence the statement above is false.

The wavelength of red colour is around 620-700nm hence the statement above is false.

Ronch [10]
The problem wants to compute how long does it take for the acceleration to occur if a car travelling at 7m/s accelerates uniformally at 2.5 m/s^2 to reach a speed of 12 m/s and base on that, the time duration would be 2 seconds. I hope this would help

What force is produced when a battery causes an electric current to flow trough a circuit made of copper wire
zzz [600]
You'll hear that force called different things in different places. It
may be called "electromotive force", "EMF", "potential difference",
or "voltage".

It's just a matter of somehow causing the two ends of the wire
to have different electrical potential. When that happens, the
free electrons in the copper suddenly have a burning desire to
travel ... away from the end that's more negative, toward the end
that's more positive, and THAT's an "electric current".

What is the current produced by the solar cells of a pocket calculator through which 4.00 C of charge passes in 4.00 hr? Give yo
AfilCa [17]

The average current passing through a device is given by:

I = Q/Δt

I is the average current

Q is the amount of charge that has passed through the device

Δt is the amount of elapsed time

Given values:

Q = 4.00C

Δt = 4.00hr = 14400s

Plug in the values and solve for I:

I = 4.00/14400

I = 0.000277777778A

I = 0.278mA
