Answer:
elastic potential energy
You input potential (stored) energy into the rubber band system when you stretched the rubber band back. Because it is an elastic system, this kind of potential energy is specifically called elastic potential energy.
Explanation:
During the first phase of acceleration we have:
v o = 4 m/s; t = 8 s; v = 13 m/s, a = ?
v = v o + a * t
13 m/s = 4 m / s + a * 8 s
a * 8 s = 9 m/s
a = 9 m/s : 8 s
a = 1.125 m/s²
The final speed:
v = ?; v o = 13 m/s; a = 1.125 m/s² ; t = 16 s
v = v o + a * t
v = 13 m/s + 1.125 m/s² * 16 s
v = 13 m/s + 18 m/s = 31 m/s
For electrical devices . . .
Power dissipated = (voltage) x (current) =
(12 V) x (3.0 A) = 36 watts .
1 watt means 1 joule per second
(36 joule/sec) x (60 sec/min) x (10 min) = 21,600 joules
