Answer:

B.heat

Explanation:

As we know by First law of thermodynamics

Q = \Delta U + W

as we know that

Q = heat or thermal energy supplied to the system

\Delta U = change in internal energy of the system

W = work done by the system

So first law of thermodynamics is basically energy conservation law in which energy supplied to the system is converted into its internal energy and work done by the system.

What would be the speed of an object just before hitting the ground if dropped 91.5 meters
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

about 42.35 m/s

Explanation:

Use the equation for accelerated motion (g), and with zero initial velocity that doesn't include time:

v_f^2=v_i^2+2\,a\,\Delta x

which for our case would reduce to:

v_f^2=v_i^2+2\,a\,\Delta x\\v_f^2=0+2\,9.8\,(91.5)\\v_f^2= 1793.4\\v_f=\sqrt{1793.4} \\v_f \approx 42.35

then the velocity just before hitting would be about 42.35 m/s

A ball is thrown off the top of a building and lands on the ground below.
natita [175]

Answer:

Mass and velocity.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy <u>is the energy that an object has due to its movement</u>, mathematically it is represented as follows:

K=\frac{1}{2} mv^2

where m is the mass of the object, and v is its velocity at a given point in time.

So we can see that to find the kinetic energy just before the ball hits the gound, we need the quantities:

  • mass of the ball
  • velocity of the ball before it hits the ground

With the knowledge of these two quantities the kinetic energy of the ball  before touching the gound can be determined.

A cat jumps from 2.5-meter-tall bookshelf to a 1.3-meter-tall countertop. If the cat
UkoKoshka [18]

The change in Potential energy of the cat is 176.4 J.

<h3 /><h3>Potential Energy:</h3>

This is the energy due to the position of a body. The S.I unit is Joules (J)

The formula for change in potential energy.

<h3 /><h3>Formula:</h3>
  • ΔP.E = mg(H-h).............. Equation 1

<h3>Where:</h3>
  • ΔP.E = Change in potential energy
  • m = mass of the cat
  • g = acceleration due to gravity
  • H = First height
  • h = second height.

From the question,

<h3>Given:</h3>
  • m = 15 kg
  • H = 2.5 m
  • h = 1.3 m
  • g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • ΔP.E = 15×9.8(2.5-1.3)
  • ΔP.E = 15×9.8×1.2
  • ΔP.E = 176.4 J.

Hence, The change in Potential energy of the cat is 176.4 J

James took two pea plants, placing one in a dark closet and the other on a sunny window sill. Both are located in air-conditione
Fudgin [204]

The constant is the temperature of the air that the plants get.

The independent variable is the thing that YOU control.  That's the amount of sunlight each plant gets.

The <em>dependent variable</em> is anything that's caused by changes in the independent variable.  That's the growth of the plants.
