Whenever energy changes form, people sometimes say that some energy is "lost." What is meant by this?

Physics
1 answer:
BartSMP [9]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A. The energy is not truly lost: it transforms into forms that are not easily put to use.

Explanation:

This is due to the fact that when we use energy, it seems to have disappear, but it really hasn't. In fact, when we use energy, it is changing into another form that has to be converted in order for energy to be present once again.

A ball is dropped from somewhere above a window that is 2.00 m in height. As it falls, it is visible to a person boxing through
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

4.14 m

Explanation:

In the last leg of the journey the ball covers 2 m in 2ms or 0.2 s .

Let in this last leg , u be the initial velocity.

s = ut + 1/2 g t²

2 = .2 u + .5 x 9.8 x .04

u = 9.02 m /s .

Let v be the final velocity in this leg

v² = u² + 2 g s

v² = (9.02)² + 2 x 9.8 x 2

= 81.36 +39.2

v = 10.97 m / s

Now consider the whole height from where the ball dropped . Let it be h.

Initial velocity u = 0

v² = u² +2gh

(10.97 )² = 2 x 9.8 h

h = 6.14 m

Height from window

= 6.14 - 2m

= 4.14 m

A paintball is fired horizontally from a tower 45 m above the ground. If the paintball gun fires at 90 m/s… How long does it tak
ankoles [38]

Answer:

The time taken for the paint ball to hit the ground is t =  2.143 \ s

The distance of the landing point from the tower is d = 192.86 \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The height of the tower is h =  45 \ m

    The speed of the paintball in the horizontal direction is  v_x =  90 \  m/s

Generally from kinematic equation we have that

      h =  ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2

Here u is the initial  velocity of the paintball in the vertical direction and the value is 0 m/s , this because the ball was fired horizontally

         a is equivalent to g  = 9.8\ m/s^2

        t is the time taken for the paintball to hit the ground

   So    

       45  =  0* t + \frac{1}{2} 9.8 * t^2

=>    t =  2.143 \ s

Generally the distance of its landing position from the tower is

         d = v  *  t

=>      d = 90 *  2.143

=>    d = 192.86 \  m

Your student desk has been in the room for many hours, it is at thermal equilibrium with the room?
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

metal because A: In general, metals feel colder or hotter to the touch than other materials at the same temperature because they're good thermal conductors. This means they easily transfer heat to colder objects or absorb heat from warmer objects. Thermal insulators like plastic and wood don't transfer heat as easily.
