Which statement best describes the law of conservation of energy?

Physics

Phantasy [73]3 years ago

<span>The correct option is C. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. This statement is known as law of conservation of energy, and it implies that whenever a certain form of energy does change, the loss of this form of energy must have converted into an another type of energy. A typical example is an object falling to the ground: initially, the object has gravitational potential energy. As the object falls down, it loses potential energy (since its altitude from the grounf decreases), but it acquires kinetic energy (because its velocity increases). In this example, potential energy has converted into kinetic energy, but the total energy of the object has remained constant.</span>

Calculate the force it would take to accelerate a 250 kg motorcycle at a rate of 5 m/s2
Sphinxa [80]

Force = mass x acceleration

Mass is given to be 250kg

Acceleration is given to be 5m/s^2

Force = 250kg x 5m/s^2 = 1,250 kgm/s^2 = 1,250 Newtons

How long will it take for a sound impulse to travel through a copper rod 25 kilometers long?
jekas [21]

By conducting exhaustive, high-intensity online research for about 15 seconds, I found a source that says the speed of sound in copper is 4600 m/s.  (You could easily have completed the same research project in about 1/3 of the time it took you to type and post the question here.)

Time it takes = (distance) / (speed)

Time = (25,000 meters) / (4600 m/s)

Time = (25 / 4.6) km-sec/km

<em>Time = 5.43 seconds </em>

What is the maximum speed when the conditions are mass =450 kg, initial height= 30 m, and the roller coaster is initially at res
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

B. 24.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the roller coaster, m = 450 kg

height of the roller coaster, h = 30 m

The maximum potential energy of the roller coaster  due to its height is given by;

P.E_{max} = mgh\\\\PE_{max} = 450 *9.8*30\\\\PE_{max} = 132,300 \ J

P.E_{max} = K.E_{max} \ (law \ of \ conservation\ of \ energy)

K.E_{max} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2\\\\ v_{max}^2 = \frac{2K.E_{max}}{m}\\\\ v_{max}^2 = \frac{2*132300}{450}\\\\ v_{max}^2 =588\\\\v_{max} = \sqrt{588}\\\\  v_{max} = 24.2 \ m/s

Therefore, the maximum speed of the roller coaster is 24.2 m/s.

You are wearing earbuds or headphones to listen to your music but your family members can hear it as well. They tell you that it
allsm [11]

If it’s loud enough for your family to hear it, it’s best you turn it down. It could cause permanent damage to your ear drums if it’s loud enough and you could start to lose your hearing. So if your family were to tell you to turn it down, you should probably just turn it down!

How is the Sun related to nuclear electromagnetic and heat energy
Snezhnost [94]

-- The source of most of the energy that radiates from the sun is nuclear energy.

-- Most of the energy that radiates from the sun is electromagnetic energy.

-- Heat energy is part of the electromagnetic energy that radiates from the sun.
Other parts include radio, microwave, visible light, ultraviolet, and X-ray energy.
