Only about 36% of the energy from petrol is used to move a car. What happens to the rest of it?

1 answer:

6 0

Hmm not sure that math is correct but we must remember that energy is never destroyed just transferred. E.g light energy is transferred into heat. So when looking at a car we have
1.friction energy. This is the car running alone the road and wind.
2. Kentic energy. This is the car moving.
3.heat energy. When petrol combust it produces heat energy.

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

124m/s

Explanation:

v=u+at

v=119+(0.5×10)

v=119+5

The intensity at a distance of 6.0 m from a source that is radiating equally in all directions is 6.0 × 10-10 w/m2 . what is the

satela [25.4K]

The intensity is defined as the ratio between the power emitted by the source and the area through which the power is calculated:
$I= \frac{P}{A}$ (1)
where
P is the power
A is the area

In our problem, the intensity is $I=6.0 \cdot 10^{-10} W/m^2$ . At a distance of r=6.0 m from the source, the area intercepted by the radiation (which propagates in all directions) is equal to the area of a sphere of radius r, so:
$A=4 \pi r^2 = 4 \pi (6.0 m)^2 = 452.2 m^2$

And so if we re-arrange (1) we find the power emitted by the source:
$P=IA = (6.0 \cdot 10^{-10}W/m^2)(452.2 m^2)=2.7 \cdot 10^{-7} W$

Potential energy is the energy an object has because of its position; it is energy waiting to be released. What conclusion is BE

bija089 [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

An object can store energy as the result of its position. For example, the heavy ball of a demolition machine is storing energy when it is held at an elevated position. This stored energy of position is referred to as potential energy. Similarly, a drawn bow is able to store energy as the result of its position. When assuming its usual position (i.e., when not drawn), there is no energy stored in the bow. Yet when its position is altered from its usual equilibrium position, the bow is able to store energy by virtue of its position. This stored energy of position is referred to as potential energy. Potential energy is the stored energy of position possessed by an object.
