Your car is performing a transformation of energy of:

Chemical energy to Mechanical energy

The chemical is the gasoline which is then converted to fire as the car runs thus creating the movement of the car which is mechanical energy.

y = 75.9 m

Explanation:

y = -(1/2)gt^2 + v0yt + y0

If we put the origin of our coordinate system at the point where a body is launched, then y0 = 0.

y = -(1/2)(9.8 m/s^2)(3 s)^2 + (40 m/s)(3 s)

= -44.1 m + 120 m

= 75.9

Answer:

h=2.86m

Explanation:

In order to give a quick response to this exercise we will use the equations of conservation of kinetic and potential energy, the equation is given by,

$\Delta PE_i + \Delta KE_i = \Delta PE_f +\Delta KE_f$

There is no kinetic energy in the initial state, nor potential energy in the end,

$mgh+0=0+KE_f$

In the final kinetic energy, the energy contributed by the Inertia must be considered, as well,

$mgh = (\frac{1}{2}mv^2+\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2)$

The inertia of the bodies is given by the equation,

$I=\frac{m(R_1^2+R^2_2)}{2}$

$I=\frac{2(0.2^2+0.1^2)}{2}$

$I=0.05Kgm^2$

On the other hand the angular velocity is given by

$\omega =\frac{v}{R_2}=\frac{4}{1/5} = 2rad/s$

Replacing these values in the equation,

$(0.5)(9.8)(h) =\frac{1}{2}*0.5*4^2+\frac{1}{2}*0.05*20^2$

Solving for h,

$h=2.86m$

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed = distance / time

Given speed = 127 m/s .

distance = 1.58 m

time = ?

Putting the values in the formula

127 m/s = 1.58 m / time

time = 1.58 / 127 s

= 12.44 ms .

How does bimettalic strip work?

mafiozo [28]

A traditional thermostat has two pieces of different metals bolted together to form what's called a bimetallic strip (or bimetal strip). The strip works as a bridge in an electrical circuit connected to your heating system. ... Eventually, it bends so much that it breaks open the circuit.
