Sample Response: Because energy cannot be created or destroyed, the total input is equal to the total output. The total amount of energy remains the same even though it may change forms.

The amount of energy before and after any energy transformations remain the same because energy cannot be created or destroyed. From the law conservation of energy; any time energy is transferred between two objects, or converted from one form into another, no energy is created and none is destroyed. The total amount of energy involved in the process remains the same.

The Law of Conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant-it is said to be the conserved over time. It applies by us burning calories because humans can lose or gain weight.

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

V=15.3 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we have to use the energy conservation theorem:

U_e+K_i+U_{gi}+W_{friction}=K_f+U_{gf}

the elastic potencial energy is given by:

U_e=\frac{1}{2}*k*x^2\\U_e=\frac{1}{2}*1100N/m*(4m)^2\\U_e=8800J

The work is defined as:

W_{friction}=F_f*d*cos(\theta)\\W_{friction}=40N*2.5m*cos(180)\\W_{friction}=-100J

this work is negative because is opposite to the movement.

The gravitational potencial energy at 2.5 m aboves is given by:

U_{gf}=m*g*h\\U_{gf}=60kg*9.8*2.5\\U_{gf}=1470J

the gravitational potential energy at the ground and the kinetic energy at the begining are 0.

8800J+0+0+-100J=\frac{1}{2}*62kg*v^2+1470J\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2(8800J-100J-1470J)}{62kg}}\\v=15.3m/s

A train travels 8.81 m/s in a -51.0° direction.
Amiraneli [1.4K]

The displacement of the train after 2.23 seconds is 25.4 m.

<h3>Resultant velocity of the train</h3>

The resultant velocity of the train is calculated as follows;

R² = vi² + vf² - 2vivf cos(θ)

where;

  • θ is the angle between the velocity = (90 - 51) + 37 = 76⁰

R² = 8.81² + 9.66² - 2(8.81 x 9.66) cos(76)

R² = 129.75

R = √129.75

R = 11.39 m/s

<h3>Displacement of the train</h3>

Δx = vt

Δx = 11.39 m/s x 2.23 s

Δx = 25.4 m

Thus, the displacement of the train after 2.23 seconds is 25.4 m.

A 55.4 g sample of water at 99.61 °C is placed in a constant pressure calorimeter. Then, 23.4 g of zinc metal at 21.6 °C is adde
Zolol [24]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of the zinc metal measured in this experiment is 0.427 J/g.°C

Explanation:

From the experimental data, the water loses heat because its initial temperature is greater than the final temperature of the mixture. On the other hand, the zinc metal gains heat because its initial temperature is less than the final temperature of the mixture

Heat loss by water = Heat gain by zinc metal

m1C1(T1 - T3) = m2C2(T3 - T2)

m1 is mass of water = 55.4 g

C1 is specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J/g.°C

m2 is mass of zinc metal = 23.4 g

C2 is specific heat capacity of zinc metal

T1 is the initial temperature of water = 99.61 °C

T2 is the initial temperature of zinc metal = 21.6 °C

T3 is the final temperature of the mixture = 96.4 °C

55.4×4.2(99.61 - 96.4) = 23.4×C2(96.4 - 21.6)

746.9028 = 1750.32C2

C2 = 746.9028/1750.32 = 0.427 J/g.°C

A football is kicked 18m/s at 20 degrees. what is the acceleration rate in the horizontal direction
fomenos

If we ignore air resistance, as we always do,
there is no horizontal acceleration.

Gravity acts only in the vertical direction, and
no other forces act on the ball after the punt.
