2. kinetic energy: due to it being transferred through collisions

Sveta_85 [38]3 years ago

Mechanical energy - this can be either kinetic or potential and has to do with the energy of position and motion of an object

Kinetic energy - this has to do with the speed of an object and how much mass it has; basically how the object is moving

Potential energy - this type of energy is stored energy; it can be increased by getting into a higher position and/or stretching an object such as a rubber band

Electrical energy - this is energy that is transferred by the movement of electrons through a conductor: the electrons create a current

Light energy - this is radiant energy from the sun; it's the only kind of energy we can see with our eyes

Thermal energy - this type of energy can be transferred in three different ways: 1) direction contact through collisions (also called conduction), 2) through a fluid making a current created by less dense fluids floating and more dense fluids sinking (also called convection), and 3) by waves traveling with or without a medium (also called radiation)

Sound energy - this type of energy travels through vibrations on waves

Chemical energy - this type of energy is often found in things like batteries or food

Nuclear energy - this is the energy found in the nucleus of an atom

Energy conversions - this is the term used when energy changes from one form to another

An object starts at 11 m/s with an acceleration of 12 m/s? What is its velocity after 4.5 seconds?

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

65 m/s

Explanation:

v=v0+at <=> v = 11 + 12 t ∧ t = 4.5 s <=> v = 11 + 12×4.5 <=> v = 65 m/s

A ball thrown straight up into the air is found to be moving at 6.79 m/s after falling 1.87 m below its release point. Find the

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

3.07 m/s

Explanation:

We know that from kinematics equation

$v^{2}=u^{2}+2as$ and here, a=g where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is acceleration, s is the distance moved, g is acceleration due to gravity

Making u the subject then

$u=\sqrt {v^{2}-2gs}$

Substituting v for 6.79 m/s, s for 1.87 m and g as 9.81 m/s2 then

$u=\sqrt {6.79^{2}-(2\times 9.81\times 1.87)}=3.068338313 m/s\approx 3.07 m/s$

The Cartesian coordinate of a point in the xy plane are (x,y)=(-3.50,-2.50)m. Find the poler coordinate of this point

Masja [62]

Answer:

The polar coordinate of $P(x,y) = (-3.50\,m,-2.50\,m)$ is $P (r,\theta) = (4.301\,m, 215.538^{\circ})$ .

Explanation:

Given a point in rectangular form, that is $P(x,y) = (x,y)$ , its polar form is defined by:

$P(x,y) = (r,\theta)$ (1)

Where:

$r$ - Norm, measured in meters.

$\theta$ - Direction, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

The norm of the point is determined by Pythagorean Theorem:

$r = \sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}$ (2)

And direction is calculated by following trigonometric relation:

$\theta = \tan^{-1} \frac{y}{x}$ (3)

If we know that $x = -3.50\,m$ and $y = -2.50\,m$ , then the components of coordinates in polar form is:

$r = \sqrt{(-3.50\,m)^{2}+(-2.50\,m)^{2}}$

$r \approx 4.301\,m$

Since $x < 0\,m$ and $y < 0\,m$ , direction is located at 3rd Quadrant. Given that tangent function has a period of 180º, we find direction by using this formula:

$\theta = 180^{\circ}+\tan^{-1} \left(\frac{-2.50\,m}{-3.50\,m} \right)$

$\theta \approx 215.538^{\circ}$

The polar coordinate of $P(x,y) = (-3.50\,m,-2.50\,m)$ is $P (r,\theta) = (4.301\,m, 215.538^{\circ})$ .

How the Law of Conservation of Matter is supported by the experimental demonstrations?

Delvig [45]

The law of conservation of matter states that matter cannot be created nor destroyed. It can only be transformed from one form to another. To state an example where this is shown, let's say a piece of paper is burning. Not having a scientific background, you would say that the matter is being destroyed. But in reality, the paper is simple being transformed to ash, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. Overall, the total mass would still remain the same.
