Give me an example of an energy conversion.

Physics
1 answer:
kirill115 [55]3 years ago
7 0

-- Light a candle.  Chemical energy stored in the wax
is converted to light and heat.

-- Turn a flashlight on.  Chemical energy stored in the battery
is converted to electrical energy, which flows through the wiring
to the light-bulb. As the electric current current flows through the
bulb, electrical energy is converted to light and heat.

-- Plug a fan into a wall outlet.  Electric current flows through
the line-cord to the motor, where electrical energy is converted
to kinetic energy.  The kinetic energy of the motor is sent to turn
the fan blades, where it is used to move air.

-- Electromagnetic energy from the sun strikes the surface of a
photoelectric cell, where it is converted to electrical energy.

Answer:

s = 37.81 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of an apple, m = 1.5 kg

The apple falls for 2.75s before striking the ground.

We need to find how far the apple dropped before hitting the ground. It means we need to find the distance covered. Using the second equation of motion to find it :

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

u is initial velocity, u = 0 (at rest)

s=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\s=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 10\times (2.75)^2\\\\=37.81\ m

So, Apple dropped 37.81 m before hitting the ground.

A man is standing on the edge of a 20.0 m high cliff. He throws a rock horizontally with an initial velocity of 10.0 m/s.
kherson [118]

Answer:

<em>a. The rock takes 2.02 seconds to hit the ground</em>

<em>b. The rock lands at 20,2 m from the base of the cliff</em>

Explanation:

Horizontal motion occurs when an object is thrown horizontally with an initial speed v from a height h above the ground. When it happens, the object moves through a curved path determined by gravity until it hits the ground.

The time taken by the object to hit the ground is calculated by:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

The range is defined as the maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object and it can be calculated as follows:

\displaystyle d=v.t

The man is standing on the edge of the h=20 m cliff and throws a rock with a horizontal speed of v=10 m/s.

a,

The time taken by the rock to reach the ground is:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2*20}{9.8}}

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{4.0816}

t = 2.02 s

The rock takes 2.02 seconds to hit the ground

b.

The range is calculated now:

\displaystyle d=10\cdot 2.02

d = 20.2 m

The rock lands at 20,2 m from the base of the cliff

How many calories are absorbed by a pot of water with a mass of 500g in order to raise the temperature from 20c to 30c?
LenaWriter [7]
Calories would denote the amount of heat.

Givens are:
Mass = 500 g
t0 = 20C
tf = 30C
C = 1 cal/gC

Formula:
Q=MCt

500g (1cal/gC) 10C= 5000 cal

Because Earth's rotation is gradually slowing, the length of each day increases: The day at the end of 1.0 century is 1.0 ms lon
stira [4]

Answer:

0.088 seconds

0.0880000273785 second

0.08800054757 seconds

Explanation:

In the question it is given each century adds 1 ms to a day due to the slowing rotation of the Earth

In 88 centuries the length of the first day of the year will be

88 × 1 = 88 ms = 0.088 seconds

1 ms = 1 century

1 century = 100 years × 365.25 days

⇒1 ms = 36525 days

1\ day=\frac{1}{365.25}=2.7378\times 10^{-5} ms=2.7378\times 10^{-8} s

Sum of the gain on the first day would be

0.088 + 2.7378×10⁻⁸ = 0.0880000273785 second

Sum of the gain on the second day would be

0.088 + 2.7378×10⁻⁸+2.7378×10⁻⁸ = 0.08800054757 seconds
