What are the different types of Energy transformations and Energy Transfers?

Harman [31]

Explanation:

Here are some of the ways that energy can change (transform) from one type to another:

The Sun transforms nuclear energy into heat and light energy.

Our bodies convert chemical energy in our food into mechanical energy for us to move.

An electric fan transforms electrical energy into kinetic energy.

Lance Armstrong bikes at a constant speed up the Col d’Izoard, a famous mountain pass. Assume his teammates do such a good job r

svetoff [14.1K]

Work done against gravity to climb upwards is always stored in the form of gravitational potential energy

so we can say

$W = mgh$

here h = vertical height raised

so here we know that

$h = 14.1 sin7.3 km$

here we have

$h = 1.79 km$

now from above equation

$W = (83 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(1.79 \times 10^3 m)$

$W = 1.46 \times 10^6 J$

so work done will be given by above value

A cruise ship sails due south at 2.00 m/s while a coast guard patrol boat heads 19.0° north of east at 5.60 m/s. What are the x-

Lilit [14]

Answer:

The x-component and y-component of the velocity of the cruise ship relative to the patrol boat is -5.29 m/s and 0.18 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of ship = 2.00 m/s due south

Velocity of boat = 5.60 m/s due north

Angle = 19.0°

We need to calculate the component

The velocity of the ship in term x and y coordinate

$v_{s_{x}}=0$

$v_{s_{y}}=2.0\ m/s$

The velocity of the boat in term x and y coordinate

For x component,

$v_{b_{x}}=v_{b}\cos\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{b_{x}}=5.60\cos19$

$v_{b_{x}}=5.29\ m/s$

For y component,

$v_{b_{y}}=v_{b}\sin\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{b_{y}}=5.60\sin19$

$v_{b_{y}}=1.82\ m/s$

We need to calculate the x-component and y-component of the velocity of the cruise ship relative to the patrol boat

For x component,

$v_{sb_{x}}=v_{s_{x}}-v_{b_{x}}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{sb_{x}=0-5.29$

$v_{sb}_{x}=-5.29\ m/s$

For y component,

$v_{sb_{y}}=v_{s_{y}}-v_{b_{y}}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{sb_{x}=2.-1.82$

$v_{sb}_{x}=0.18\ m/s$

Hence, The x-component and y-component of the velocity of the cruise ship relative to the patrol boat is -5.29 m/s and 0.18 m/s.
