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 coin is resting on the bottom of an empty container. The container is then fi lled to the brim three times, each time with a d
ahrayia [7]

when we placed in the container of real depth assuming = d

if the container filled with liquid A then its apparent depth d' = 7cm

so the refractive index nA = real depth / apparent depth

                                       = d/7cm = 0.1428d

if the container filled with liquid B then its apparent depth d' = 6cm

so the refractive index nB = real depth / apparent depth

                                       = d/6cm = 0.166d

if the container filled with liquid C then its apparent depth d' = 5cm

so the refractive index nC = real depth / apparent depth

                                       = d/5cm = 0.2d

Since the refractive index is inversely proportional to the apparent depth

then the refractive indices are nC > nB > nA

I have my exam monday I need some help!
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the passage of the waves is one crest every 2.5 seconds, then that is the frequency of the wave, f.

The distance between the 2 crests (or troughs) is the wavelength, λ.

We want the velocity of this wave. The equation that relates these 3 things is

f=\frac{v}{\lambda} and filling in:

2.5=\frac{v}{2.0} so

v = 2.5(2.0) and

v = 5.0 m/s

The number of mushrooms needed by a pizza restaurant is given by the
kupik [55]

Answer: 24

Explanation:

Given the following equation:

g=3n

Where g is the number of mushrooms in a pizza and n the number of pizzas.

If we know the restaurant will make 8 pizzas (n=8), then:

g=3(8)

g=24 This is the needed number of mushrooms for 8 pizzas

in the diagram the solid eventually becomes a gas what will happen to bring the substance from a solid to a gas
Ratling [72]
Since there is no diagram I can see to prove my answer, I must infer that a heat source should be applied to the solid substance and cause the atoms in the solid to spread further apart and become a different state, in which atoms will be able to freely move, gas.
