A scientific law

The diagram below represents a flashlight that has been turned on. Which form of energy is being converted to electrical energy

Orlov [11]

Answer:

Chemical energy to electrical energy

Explanation:

In nature, there are several types of energy.

In this example (a flashlight being turned on), we have a conversion of energy from chemical energy to electrical energy. In fact:

- Chemical energy is the energy stored in the chemical bonds of the molecules of the substances used inside the battery. When the chemical reaction inside the battery occurs, this energy is liberated, and it is used to "push" the electrons along the circuit connected to the battery

- Electric energy is the energy associated to the motion of the electrons along the circuit of the flashlight; it is the energy associated to an electric current.

Moreover, in the flashlight the electric energy is then converted into two more types of energy: light energy (since the bulb in the flashlight produces light) and heat energy (because the flashlight also produces heat, so thermal energy).

A small block of mass 20.0 grams is moving to the right on a horizontal frictionless surface with a speed of 0.68 m/s. The block

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

a) $v'=-0.227\ m.s^{-1}$

b) $v=1.36\ m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the lighter block, $m'=0.02\kg$

velocity of the lighter block, $u'=0.68\ m.s^{-1}$

mass of the heavier block, $m=0.04\ kg$

velocity of the heavier block, $u=0\ m.s^{-1}$

a)

Using conservation of linear momentum:

$m'.u'+m.u=m'.v'+m.v$

where:

$v'=$ final velocity of the lighter block

$v=$ final velocity of the heavier block

$m'.u'=m'.v'+m.v$

$m'(u'-v')=m.v$ ........................(1)

Since kinetic energy is conserved in elastic collision:

$\frac{1}{2}m'.u'^2=\frac{1}{2}m'.v'^2+\frac{1}{2}m.v^2$

$m'(u'^2-v'^2)=m.v^2$

$m'(u'-v')(u'+v')= m.v^2$

divide the above equation by eq. (1)

$v=u'+v'$ .............................(2)

now we substitute the value of v from eq. (2) in eq. (1)

$m'(u'-v')=m(u'+v')$

$\frac{m'+m}{m'-m} =\frac{u'}{v'}$

$\frac{0.02+0.04}{0.02-0.04} =\frac{0.68}{v'}$

$v'=-0.227\ m.s^{-1}$ (negative sign denotes that the direction is towards left)

b)

now we substitute the value of v' from eq. (2) in eq. (1)

$m'(u'-v+u')=m.v$

$2m'.u'=(m-m')v$

$2\times 0.02\times 0.68=(0.04-0.02)\times v$

$v=1.36\ m.s^{-1}$

A spaceship whose rest length is 350m has a speed of .82c

igomit [66]

Answer:

$t'=1.1897*10^{-6} s$

t'=1.1897 μs

Explanation:

First we will calculate the velocity of micrometeorite relative to spaceship.

Formula:

$u=\frac{u'+v}{1+\frac{u'*v}{c^{2}}}$

where:

v is the velocity of spaceship relative to certain frame of reference = -0.82c (Negative sign is due to antiparallel track).

u is the velocity of micrometeorite relative to same frame of reference as spaceship = .82c (Negative sign is due to antiparallel track)

u' is the relative velocity of micrometeorite with respect to spaceship.

In order to find u' , we can rewrite the above expression as:

$u'=\frac{v-u}{\frac{u*v}{c^{2} }-1 }$

$u'=\frac{-0.82c-0.82c}{\frac{0.82c*(-0.82c)}{c^{2} }-1 }$

u'=0.9806c

Time for micrometeorite to pass spaceship can be calculated as:

$t'=\frac{length}{Relatie seed (u')}$

$t'=\frac{350}{0.9806c}$ (c = 3*10^8 m/s)

$t'=\frac{350}{0.9806* 3.0*10^{8} }$

$t'=1.1897*10^{-6} s$

t'=1.1897 μs

Comets travel around the sun in elliptical orbits with large eccentricities. If a comet has speed 1.6×104 m/s when at a distance

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

v₂ = 7.6 x 10⁴ m/s

Explanation:

given,

speed of comet(v₁) = 1.6 x 10⁴ m/s

distance (d₁)= 2.7 x 10¹¹ m

to find the speed when he is at distance of(d₂) 4.8 × 10¹⁰ m

v₂ = ?

speed of planet can be determine using conservation of energy

K.E₁ + P.E₁ = K.E₂ + P.E₂

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv_1^2-\dfrac{GMm}{r_1} = \dfrac{1}{2}mv_2^2-\dfrac{GMm}{r_2}$

$\dfrac{1}{2}v_1^2-\dfrac{GM}{r_1} = \dfrac{1}{2}v_2^2-\dfrac{GM}{r_2}$

$v_2^2= v_1^2 + \dfrac{2GM}{r_2}-\dfrac{2GM}{r_1}$

$v_2= \sqrt{v_1^2 +2GM(\dfrac{1}{r_2}-\dfrac{1}{r_1})}$

$v_2= \sqrt{(1.6\times 10^4)^2 +2\times 6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 1.99 \times 10^{30}(\dfrac{1}{4.8\times 10^{10}}-\dfrac{1}{2.7\times 10^{11}})}$

v₂ = 7.6 x 10⁴ m/s
