Answer:

On a roller coaster, energy changes from potential to kinetic energy and back again many times over the course of a ride. Kinetic energy is energy that an object has as a result of its motion. ... Traditionally, the coaster cars are pulled up the first hill by a chain; as the cars climb, they gain potential energy.

Answer:

On a roller coaster, energy changes from potential to kinetic and back again many times over and over the course of the ride. Kinetic energy is energy that an object has because of its motion. All moving objects possess kinetic energy, which is determined by the mass and speed of the object.

A plane flying against the wind covers the 900-kilometer distance between two aerodromes in 2 hours. The same plane flying with

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The speed of the wind is 25 km/hr.

Explanation:

Let us call $v_p$ the speed of the plane and $v_w$ the speed of the wind. When the plane is flying against the wind, it covers the distance of 900-km in 2 hours (120 minutes); therefore;

(1). $v_p - v_w = \dfrac{900km}{120min}$

And when the plane is flying with the wind, it covers the same distance in 1 hour 48 minutes (108 minutes)

(2). $v_p+v_w= \dfrac{900km}{108min}$

From equation (1) we solve for $v_p$ and get:

$v_p = \dfrac{900km}{120min}+v_w$ ,

and by putting this into equation (2) we get:

$\dfrac{900km}{120min}+v_w+v_w= \dfrac{900km}{108min}$

$2v_w= \dfrac{900km}{108min}-\dfrac{900km}{120min}$

$2v_w = 8.3km/min - 7.5km/min$

$2v_w = 0.83km/min$

$v_w = 0.4165km/min$

or in km/hr this is

$\boxed{v_w= 25km/hr }$

3) The work done is D. zero

4) The kinetic energy is B. 180 J

5) The potential energy is A. 120 J

6) The work done depends on B. position

7) The example of non-renewable energy is C. coal

8) The power expended is $3\cdot 10^4 W$

9) The efficiency is A. 100%

10) The velocity ratio is 5

Explanation:

The work done by a force acting an object is given by:

$W=Fd cos \theta$

where :

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement

When the force is applied perpendicular to the direction of motion,

$\theta=90^{\circ}$

Therefore, the work done is:

$W=Fd(cos 90^{\circ})=0$

The kinetic energy of a body is given by

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass of the body

v is its speed

For the girl in this problem, we have

m = 40 kg

v = 3 m/s

Therefore her kinetic energy is

$K=\frac{1}{2}(40)(3)^2=180 J$

The potential energy of an object is given by

$PE=mgh$

where

m is the mass

$g=10 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

h is the heigth of the object relative to the ground

For the ball in this problem,

m = 0.4 kg

h = 30 m

So, the potential energy is

$PE=(0.4)(10)(30)=120 J$

A conservative field is a field for which the work done by the field on an object does not depend on the path taken, but only on the initial and final position of the object.

Gravitational and electric fields are examples of conservative fields. In fact:

When an object is pulled down by gravity (free fall), the work done by the gravitational field only depends on the change in height $\Delta h$ between the two points, not on the path taken during the fall
When an electric charge is pushed by the electric field, the work done by the field depends only on the initial and final position of the charge in the field

For any conservative field, it is possible to define a "potential" function, which represents the energy per unit mass/charge, and depends only on the position of the object.

Non-renewable energy sources are sources of energy whose rate of consumption is faster than the rate at which they are re-created. Examples of non-renewable sources are coal, oil, natural gas. These energy sources are consumed at a fast rate, while they take million of years to regenerate, so at the current rate they will eventually run out.
Renewable energy sources are sources of energy that replenish at faster rate than the rate at which it is consumed. Examples of renewable sources are solar energy, wind, hydroelectric power.

Therefore, the example of non-renewable energy in this case is

C. Coal

For an object pushed by a force F and moving at a constant velocity v, the power expended is given by

$P=Fv$

where F is the force and v is the velocity.

for the rocket in this problem, we have:

F = 10 N is the force propelling the rocket

v = 3000 m/s is its velocity

Substituting into the equation, we find the power expended:

$P=(10)(3000)=30,000 W = 3\cdot 10^4 W$

The efficiency of a machine is given by

$\eta = \frac{W_{out}}{W_{in}}$

where

$W_{in}$ is the energy in input to the machine

$W_{out}$ is the useful work in output from the machine

For a real machine, the useful work in output is always lower than the energy input, because part of the energy is "wasted" and converted into thermal energy due to the presence of internal frictions. However, for an ideal machine, all the input energy is converted into useful work, so

$W_{out}=W_{in}$

And therefore the efficiency is

$\eta=1$

which means 100%.

The velocity ratio of a block and tackle system is the ratio between the distance moved by the effort and the distance moved by the load.

$VR=\frac{d_{eff}}{d_{load}}$

In a block and tackle system, the velocity ratio is also equal to the number of pulleys in the system.

For the system in the problem, there are 5 pulleys: therefore, this means that when the effort moves 5 metres, the load moves 1 metres, therefore the velocity ratio is

$VR=\frac{5}{1}=5$

Explanation:QA: “What is ordinary glass made of ?”

Glass is mostly silica, or silicon dioxide, present as quartz in many types of sand. Pure silica forms a highly transparent glass, but has a very high melting or softening temperature, around 1700°C. Even at such high temperatures it is highly viscous and difficult to work. Its use is largely confined to applications requiring high transparency to ultra-violet and infra-red radiation, stability at elevated temperatures or low thermal expansion coefficient.

“Ordinary glass” windows and drinking vessels are typically made from soda-lime glass, containing silica with around 25% sodium, calcium and other oxides, which together reduce the softening temperature to roughly 500–600°C
