Answer:

Multiple transformations occur because the chemical energy of the fuel is changed to several forms of energy

Explanation:

In a car engine, multiple energy transformation takes place. The chemical energy storef in fuel is transformed into mechanical energy which helps move the wheels of the vehicle.

The mechanical energy can also be transformed into electrical energy through a sort of dynamo system in vehicles. Stereo players use the electrical energy to produce sound.

We see that multiple energy conversions are common in a motor car.

If an atomic nucleus were the size of a dime how far away might one of its electrons be?

mihalych1998 [28]

The radius of a nucleus of hydrogen is approximately $r_{n1}=1\cdot 10^{-15}m$ , while we can use the Borh radius as the distance of an electron from the nucleus in a hydrogen atom: $r_{e1}=5.3 \cdot 10^{-11}m$

The radius of a dime is approximately $r_{n2} = 9\cdot 10^{-3}m$ : if we assume that the radius of the nucleus is exactly this value, then we can find how far is the electron by using the proportion
$r_{n1}:r_{e1}=r_{n2}:r_{e2}$
from which we find
$r_{e2}= \frac{r_{e1} r_{n2}}{r_{n1}}= \frac{(5.3 \cdot 10^{-11}m)(9\cdot 10^{-3}m)}{1 \cdot 10^{-15}m}=477 m$

So, if the nucleus had the size of a dime, we would find the electron approximately 500 meters away.

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

1) True, 2) True, 3) False, 4) False, 5) False

Explanation:

1) True. Dissipative energy cannot be recovered, in general it is a form of heat

2) True. The dissipation can be by radiation, heat

3) False. Mechanical energy is divided into K and U but not in equal parts

4) False. When there are dissipative interactions, part of the mechanical energy is set in the form of heat, so its value decreases

5) False. Mechanical energy is the sum of those two energies
