The energy of a compressed (or stretched) spring is given by

$E= \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}$

This gives

$E= \frac{1}{2}80* 0.2^{2} =1.6J$

Which of these is an example of electrical energy being converted to mechanical energy?

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Ceiling fan

Explanation:

Ceiling fan is a perfect and typical example of electrical energy being converted to mechanical energy.

In most systems, energy is usually transformed from one form to another. Energy is not created neither is it destroyed. We know this by virtue of law of conservation of energy.

The ceiling fan is powered by electrical energy from an outlet.
The energy from the outlet is used to drive the blades of the fan and set them into motion.
This is mechanical energy.

Reika [66]

Answer:

The boats are 934.65 feet apart

Explanation:

Given:

The angles of depression to the two boats are 42 degrees and 29 degrees

Height of the observation deck i = 1,353 feet

To Find:

How far apart are the boats (y )= ?

Solution:

<em><u>Step 1 : Finding the value of x(Refer the figure attached)</u></em>

We can use the tangent ratio to find the x value

$tan(42^{\circ}) = \frac{1353}{x}$

$x = \frac{1353}{tan(42^{\circ}) }$

x = 590.47 feet

<em><u>Step 2 : Finding the value of z (Refer the figure attached)</u></em>

$tan(29^{\circ}) = \frac{1353}{z }$

$z = \frac{1353}{tan(29^{\circ})}$

z = 1525.12 feet

<em><u>Step 3 : Finding the value of y (Refer the figure attached</u></em>)

y = z -x

y = 1525.12 - 590.47

y = 934.65 feet

Thus the two boats are 934.65 feet apart

The moon's mass is 7.34x10-kg and it is 3.8x10m away from earth. Calculate the gravitational force of attraction between earth a

Nana76 [90]

Again I think you did not give the right constants. So I would use the correct constants for mass of moon and distance from earth to moon.

<span>The formula for force of attraction between any two bodies in the universe
F = GMm / r^2. (Newton's Universal law of Gravitation).

G = Universal gravitational constant, G = 6.67 * 10 ^ -11 Nm^2 / kg^2.
M = Mass of Earth. = 5.97 x 10^24 kg.
m = mass of moon = 7.34 x 10^22 kg.
r = distance apart, between centers = in this case it is the distance from Earth to the Moon
= 3.8 x 10^8 m.

(Sorry I could not assume with the values you gave, they are wrong, and if we use them we would be insulting Physics).

So F = ((6.67 * 10 ^ -11)*(5.97 x 10^24)*(7.34 * 10^22)) / (3.8 x 10^8)^2.
Punch it all up in your calculator.

I used a Casio 991 calculator, it should be one of the best in the world.Really lovely calculator, that has helped me a lot in computations like this. I am thankful for the Calculator.

F = 2.0240 * 10^ 20 N.
So that's our answer.
Hurray!!</span>
