Definition of energy: Energy is the ability of a body to do work.

EXPLANATION:

Work and energy are inter convertible in nature. When work is done on the body or by the body, some amount of energy will be utilized in that process. On the other hand, we may say that work is done in the expense of energy.

Hence, energy of a substance can be defined as the capacity of that substance to do work.

For instance, we may take an example of rubbing of hands. When we rub our two hands together, we do some amount of work. That work is equivalent to the heat produced in our hands.

When a body moves with certain velocity , it gains some kinetic energy. The work done by that body is nothing else than the change in kinetic energy of the body.

3. How do astronomers explain the lack of a meteorite in Tunguska? What evidence exists to support this
Vaselesa [24]
No traces of a meteorite were found, it many scientists concluded that the culprit was a comet. Comets, which are essentially muddy ice balls, could cause such a devastation and leave no trace.

But now, 105 years later, scientists have revealed that the Tunguska devastation was indeed caused by a meteorite. A group of Ukrainian, German, and American scientists have identified its microscopic remains. Why it took them so many years makes for a fascinating tale about the limits of science and how we are pushing them.

What happens when multiple forces act on an object?
kozerog [31]
They can either cancel each other or add up to a resultant force with a certain direction and modulus.
Newton's second law states that F=m*a, where F is the resultant force, ie ΣF.

what distance is a book from the floor if the book contains 196 joules f potential energy and has a mass of 5 kg?
AleksAgata [21]
E=mgh.   196=5kg*9.81m/s^2*h.  So h=196/(5*9.81)=4m

The refrigerant is being recovered from an A/C system. Five minutes after the recovery process is complete, the low-side pressur
SashulF [63]

Answer:

The low side pressure of an A/C system losing vacuum and the pressure rising above zero indicates that there is too much refrigerant in the system.

Explanation:

Considering an A/C system, the condenser fan might be malfunctioning if the low side pressure of the air conditioner is excessive. On the other hand, it's also conceivable that the system has been overcharged with refrigerant.

Stated the scenario that the refrigerant of the system was being recovered, it is an indication that the system is merely overcharged. Even with the engine off, you will notice high pressures.

Either too much oil is present, or there is too much refrigerant in the air conditioning system. In either case, until you let some of that pressure out—ideally, a mechanic should do this—the issue won't go away on its own.

A child in danger of drowning in a river is being carried downstream by a current that flows due south uniformly with a speed of
tia_tia [17]

Let the rescue boat starts at an angle theta with the North

now its velocity towards East is given as

v_x = 24sin\theta

v_y = -24cos\theta + 3

now in some time "t" it will catch the boy

so we will have

t = \frac{0.5}{24sin\theta}

also we have

t = \frac{2}{-24cos\theta + 3}

now we have

\frac{2}{-24cos\theta + 3} = \frac{0.5}{24sin\theta}

4*24sin\theta = - 24cos\theta + 3

96 sin\theta + 24cos\theta = 3

by solving above we got

\theta = 164 degree
