Answer:

Due to friction, 100 joules were lost in the form of heat energy

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy states that

<em>"Energy can neither be created or nor destroyed but rather it changes from one form to another"</em>

As the little girl was sliding down the playground slide, her potential energy was decreasing and at the same time her kinetic energy was accumulated. As we know there is friction in the slide and because of this not all of the of potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Some of the energy will be lost due to friction taking the form of heat. Therefore, the 100 joules of energy was lost in the form of heat due to friction of the slide.

Answer:

Explanation:

This is because The 100 J of potential energy that doesn't go into increasing her kinetic energy goes into thermal energy—heating her bottom and the slide.

How much work is done against gravity when lowering a 16 kg box 0.50 m? (g = 9.8 m/s2)
leonid [27]

Answer:

The work done against gravity is 78.4 J

Explanation:

The work is calculated by multiplying the force by the distance that the

object moves

W = F × d, where W is the work , F is the force and d is the distance

The SI unit of work is the joule (J)

We need to find the work done against gravity when lowering a

16 kg box 0.50 m

→ F = mg

→ m = 16 kg, and g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these value in the rule

→ F = 16 × 9.8 = 156.8 N

→ W = F × d

→ F = 156.8 N and d = 0.50

Substitute these values in the rule

→ W = 78.4 J

<em>The work done against gravity is 78.4 J</em>

Time period from one noon to the next
matrenka [14]
That's the period of time known as one solar "day". We subdivide it into 24 slices which we call "hours". Using this system of time units, the day is about 4 minutes longer than one complete axial rotation of the Earth.
