Energy cannot be created or destroyed it can only be transformed into a different kind of energy work or power.

If this is the case, then the energy likely left the system through external forces or heat dissipated into the environment.

nadezda [96]

Answer:

H = 6.93 m

Explanation:

given data

velocity v = 35 m/s

horizontal component Vx = 33 m/s

solution

we get here maximum height so first we get vertical component here that is express as

Vy = $\sqrt{v^2- Vx^2}$ .........................1

put here value

Vy = $\sqrt{35^2- 33^2}$

Vy = 11.66 m/s

and

now we get height

H = $\frac{Vy^2}{2g}$ .............................2

put here value

H = $\frac{11.66^2}{2\times 9.8}$

H = 6.93 m

Peter’s body supplies a force of 500 N to run up a 10-m hill in 10 s. How much power is involved in Peter’s run up the hill? Exp

shutvik [7]

Answer: 500 Watts

Explanation:

Power $P$ is the speed with which work $W$ is done. Its unit is Watts ( $W$ ), being $1 W=\frac{1 Joule}{1 s}$ .

Power is mathematically expressed as:

$P=\frac{W}{t}$ (1)

Where $t$ is the time during which work $W$ is performed.

On the other hand, the Work $W$ done by a Force $F$ refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path. It is a scalar magnitude, and its unit in the International System of Units is the Joule (like energy). Therefore, 1 Joule is the work done by a force of 1 Newton when moving an object, in the direction of the force, along 1 meter ( $1J=(1N)(1m)=Nm$ ).
