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.

A 0.2 kg hockey puck moving at 80 m/s is caught by a 40 kg goalie at rest. With what speed does the goalie slide on the slide?

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

V = 0.39 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of hockey puck, m = 0.2 kg

Mass of goalie = 40 kg

Speed of hockey puck, v = 80 m/s

We need to find the speed with which the goalie slide on the slide. Let V be the speed. Using the conservation of momentum as follows :

$mv=(M+m)V\\\\V=\dfrac{mv}{M+m}\\\\V=\dfrac{0.2\times 80}{0.2+40}\\\\V=0.39\ m/s$

So, the required speed is 0.39 m/s.

The manufacturer of a 6V dry-cell flashlight battery says that the battery will deliver 15 mA for 60 continuous hours. During th

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

16200 J

Explanation:

t = Time the battery is on = 60 hours

I = Current = $15\times 10^{-3}\ A$

Average voltage

$V=\dfrac{6+4}{2}=5\ V$

Energy is given by

$E=V\times I\times t$

$\\\Rightarrow E=5\times 15\times 10^{-3}\times 60\times 3600$

$\\\Rightarrow E=16200\ J$

The energy delivered in the given time is 16200 J

Which "spheres" are interacting when water evaporates from plants

Novay_Z [31]

The plant grows in the solid part of earth, the lithosphere. When water evaporates from the plant, it enters the hydrosphere, the portion if earth on kand and in the air that contains water. The atmosphere is part of the hydrosphere.

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Both balls have the same speed.

Explanation:

Janelle throws the two balls from the same height, with the same speed. Both balls will have the same potential and kinetic energy. Energy must be conserved. When the balls pass Michael, again they must have the same potential and kinetic energy.
