Answer: v = 2.24 m/s
Explanation: The <u>Law</u> <u>of</u> <u>Conservation</u> <u>of</u> <u>Energy</u> states that total energy is constant in any process and, it cannot be created nor destroyed, only transformed.
So, in the toy launcher, the energy of the compressed spring, called <u>Elastic</u> <u>Potential</u> <u>Energy (PE)</u>, transforms into the movement of the plastic sphere, called <u>Kinetic</u> <u>Energy (KE)</u>. Since total energy must be constant:
where the terms with subscript i are related to the initial of the process and the terms with subscript f relates to the final process.
The equation is calculated as:
v = 2.24
The maximum speed the plastic sphere will be launched is 2.24 m/s.
Answer:
sure, do you have more detailed of the assignments...?
Explanation:
Answer:
thermal energy
Explanation:
heat transfers into it causing it to physically change
-- Toss a rock straight up. The kinetic energy you give it
with your hand becomes potential energy as it rises.
Eventually, when its kinetic energy is completely changed
to potential energy, it stops rising.
-- When you're riding your bike and going really fast, you come
to the bottom of a hill. You stop pedaling, and coast up the hill.
As your kinetic energy changes to potential energy, you coast
slower and slower. Eventually, your energy is all potential, and
you stop coasting.
-- A little kid on a swing at the park. The swing is going really fast
at the bottom of the arc, and then it starts rising. As it rises, the
kinetic energy changes into potential energy, more and more as it
swings higher and higher. Eventually it reaches a point where its
energy is all potential; then it stops rising, and begins falling again.
