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.

A student wishes to determine the heat capacity of a coffee-cup calorimeter. After she mixes 108.7 g of water at 60.2°C with 108
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer : The heat capacity of the calorimeter is, 6.72J/g^oC

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

q_1=-q_2

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

where,

c_1 = specific heat of water = 4.184J/g^oC

c_2 = specific heat of calorimeter = ?

m_1 = mass of water = 108.7 g

m_2 = mass of calorimeter = 108.7 g

T_f = final temperature of mixture = 35.0^oC

T_1 = initial temperature of water = 60.2^oC

T_2 = initial temperature of calorimeter = 19.3^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

(108.7g)\times (4.184J/g^oC)\times (35.0-60.2)^oC=-(108.7g)\times c_2\times (35.0-19.3)^oC

c_2=6.72J/g^oC

Therefore, the heat capacity of the calorimeter is, 6.72J/g^oC

What is the mass of a uniform meter rule?​
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

A uniform meter rule of mass 100 g is balanced on a fulcrum at mark 40 cm by suspending an unknown mass m at the mark 20 cm. ... When the balancing mass is moved then the resultant moment is the difference of clockwise moment and anticlockwise moment.

A small asteroid that has a mass of 100 kg is moving at 200 m/s when it is 1000 km above the Moon. 1) How fast will the meteorit
Georgia [21]

Answer:

v = 200.005 m / s

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use the concept of energy conservation,

Starting point. When the asteroid at h = 1000 km = 1 10⁶ m

               Em₀ = K + U = ½ m v₀² - G m M / (R + h)

Final point. When the asteroid is on the surface of the moon

              Emf = K + U = ½ m v² - G m M / R

As there is no friction the energy is conserved

             Em₀ = Emf

             ½ m v₀² - G m M / (R + h) = ½ m v² - G m M / R

            ½ m (v₀² –v²) = G m M (-1 / R + 1 / R + h)

            ½ (v₀² - v²) = G M (-h / R (R + h))

            v² = v₀² + 2 G M h / R (R + h))

Let's calculate

           v² = 200² + 2 6.67 10⁻¹¹  7.36 10²² / 1.74 (1.74  + 1 ))10¹²

           v2 = 40000 + 2,059

           v = 200.005 m / s
