Answer:
In a closed system, the total energy is conserved or remains the same as energy transformations take place.
Explanation:
The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.
This law of conservation of energy applies only to a closed system. A closed system is a system which does not exchange energy with its surroundings. All forms of energy conversions occurring within a closed system does not result in an increase or decrease of the total energy of the system, rather, energy remains constant. For example, the universe is a closed system in that all forms of energy conversions occurs within it and energy is not exchanged with an external environment. However, the earth is not a closed system as some of the energy it receives from the sun can be radiated out into space. Since it's an open system, its total energy can change.
It results change only in it's kinetic energy, it's KE will increase in accord with the work-energy theorem
Answer:
15m/s²
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial velocity = 10m/s
Final velocity = 40m/s
Time taken = 2s
Unknown:
Average acceleration = ?
Solution:
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time;
Acceleration =
Acceleration = = 15m/s²
Answer:3.56 nanosecond
In this case, you are asked the time and given the light distance(3.5ft)
To answer this question you would need to know the velocity of light. Speed of light is <span>299792458m/s. Then the calculation would be:
time= distance/speed
time= 3.5 ft / (</span>299792458m/s) x 0.3048 meter/ 1 ft= 3.56
second or 3.56 nanosecond
Mechanical advantage is the amount by which a machine multiplies input force. It is a measure of the force amplification using a tool or machine system.
