The spring of a toy car stores 10 J of potential energy. Only 8 J of energy changes to kinetic energy as the car moves. What hap
son4ous [18]

Answer:

It has been converted into thermal energy due to friction

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but only transformed from one form into another.

Applied to this problem, it means that the total initial energy of the spring-toy system must be conserved.

Therefore:

- At the beginning, the total energy stored in the spring is 10 J

- After the toy is released, the total energy must still be 10 J.

In reality, we are told that the kinetic energy of the car is only 8 J. The other 2 J have not been destroyed, but they have been converted into thermal energy, due to the presence of frictional forces that act against the motion of the toy car.

At exactly 3:14PM, the velocity of a dog running in a park points toward a group of flowers. Which of the following best describ
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Options A, B, and C are all possible.

Explanation:

We know that the instantaneous velocity of the dog at 3:14PM is possitive to toward the flowers. But what about the acceleration to toward the flowers?

If the dog is decreasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is negative toward the flowers, hence (since F=ma) the net force points away from the flowers.

If the dog is increasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is positive toward the flowers, hence (since F=ma) the net force points toward the flowers.

If the dog is not increasing nor decreasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is 0, hence (since F=ma) the net force is null and it does not point neighter to toward the flowers  nor away from the flowers. This happens when the forces acting on the dog are equal to both sides.

On an ice skating rink, a girl of mass 50 kg stands stationary, face to face with a boy of mass 80 kg. The children push off of
sasho [114]

The velocity of the girl is  -4.8 m/s.

Using the principle of conservation of linear momentum, The total momentum of  bodies before and after collision is constant. Since the two objects are stationary, the initial momentum of each body is zero.

Thus;

0 = (80 × 3) + (50 × v)

0 = 240 + 50 v

-240 = 50 v

v = -240/50

v = -4.8 m/s

Note that the negative sign shows that the velocity of the girl is in opposite direction that that of the girl.
