When particles in a substance slow down, we can infer that the object is getting colder. Why we can infer this:

1. Kinetic energy, is energy due to motion, therefore if there is no motion, there is no kinetic energy.  

2. The colder an object get, the closer it becomes to having it's particles stopping completely, eventually at the absolute zero.  

3. As kinetic energy increases, particles  move faster. Kinetic energy usually increases when an object gets warmer. As kinetic energy decreases, particles move slower. Kinetic energy usually decreases when an object gets colder.  

So, with this information, we now how and why the kinetic energy slows down.

Explanation:

The particles in a substance slow down when the average kinetic energy of the particles decreases. As the average kinetic energy decreases, the internal energy decreases, and so the thermal energy decreases. As the thermal energy of the substance decreases, the temperature decreases.

if escape velocity and orbital velocity of a satellite for Orbit close to the Earth's surface then these are related by​
n200080 [17]

Answer:

The ratio of the escape velocity to the orbital velocity is \sqrt 2.

Explanation:

The minimum velocity given to an object so that it escapes from the earth's gravitational pull is called escape velocity.

The formula of the escape velocity is

v=\sqrt\frac{2GM}{R}

The velocity of an object in the orbit around the earth is called orbital velocity.

The formula of the orbital velocity is

v=\sqrt\frac{GM}{R}

The ratio of the escape velocity to the orbital velocity is

\frac{v_e}{v_o}=\sqrt 2

A car traveling at 28.0 m/s hits a bridge abutment. A passenger in the car, who has a mass of 49.0 kg, moves forward a distance
BaLLatris [955]

The final velocity of the passenger is zero as he is brought to rest by the inflated bag.

V_f = 0

Apply the equation of motion

V_f^2 = V_i^2 +2as

Replacing with our values,

0 = 28^2+2(a)(0.55)

a = \frac{28^2}{2(0.55)}

a = 712.72m/s^2

Calculate the force using the force equation,

F = ma

F = (49kg)(712.72m/s^2)

F = 34.923kN

Therefore the magnitude of force acts on the passenger's upper torso is 34.923kN

A 2-kg box is pushed by a force of 4 N for 2 seconds. It has an initial velocity vo = 2 m/s to the right. NOTE: Since this probl
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Kf= 36 J

W(net) = 32 J

Explanation:

Given that

m = 2 kg

F= 4 N

t= 2 s

Initial velocity ,u= 2 m/s

We know that rate of change of linear momentum is called force.

F= dP/dt

F.t = ΔP

ΔP = Pf - Pi

ΔP = m v  - m u

v= Final velocity

By putting the values

4 x 2 = 2 ( v - 2)

8 =  2 ( v - 2)

4 = v - 2

v= 6 m/s

The final kinetic energy Kf

Kf= 1/2 m v²

Kf= 0.5 x 2 x 6²

Kf= 36 J

Initial kinetic energy Ki

Ki = 1/2 m u²

Ki= 0.5 x 2 x 2²

Ki = 4 J

We know that net work is equal to the change in kinetic energy

W(net) = Kf - Ki

W(net) = 36 - 4

W(net) = 32 J

According to Archimede's principle, a physical object experiences an upthrust due to a difference in pressure between upper and lower  surfaces.

<h3>What is an upthrust?</h3>

An upthrust is also referred to as buoyancy and it can be defined as an upward force which is exerted by a fluid (liquid or gas), so as to oppose the weight of a partially or fully immersed physical object that is floating in it.

Based on scientific information, a physical object experiences an upthrust when it is immersed in a fluid due to a difference in height and pressure between upper (top) and lower (bottom) surfaces.

According to Archimede's principle, there is a higher pressure at the bottom of the physical object due to height, and a lower pressure at the top of the physical object.

The electrical energy that moves through a surge protector is 1.8 kilowatt-hours. How many watts of power will the surge protect
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
The surge protector doesn't use energy. The current that carries Energy may pass through it but a good surge protector won't consume any of that energy. It'll just pass through the surge protector. The current that carrys the energy passes through it to be used by devices further on down the line, such as a toaster or a welder. If those devices are using 1.8 kilowatts of power, then that means that 6,480,000 Joules of energy pass through the surge protector in one hour. They all come out the other end and keep going.
