W=mg

Explanation:

the weight of an object on a planet is given by the law:

W=mg

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the value of the gravitational acceleration on the planet

While the mass of the object, m, depends only on the properties of the object (so, it is the same on every planet), the weight W, depends on the value of g, which is different from planet to planet, therefore the weight of an object changes if we move it to another planet.

In this case to find the weight of an object you must use the formula.

W = mg

If the bonds in the reactants of Figure 7-3 contained 432 kJ of chemical energy and the bonds in the
Yuri [45]

Answer:

  • <u>The energy change would be 46kJ</u>
  • <u>The energy would be absorbed</u>

Explanation:

The <em>energy change </em>during a chemical reation, i.e. the reaction energy, is equal to the chemical energy stored in the<em> bonds of the products </em>less the chemical energy stored in the <em>bonds of the reactants</em>.

Hence:

  • <em>Energy change</em> = 478 kJ - 432kJ = 46kJ

The change is positive, this is, the chemical energy of the products is greater than the chemical energy of the reactants.

That corresponds to the second graph, where the level of the energy of the products in the graph is higher than the level of the energy of the reactants. Therefore, the conclusion is that the reaction <em>absorbed energy</em> and it is endothermic.

Explain Energy Transformation using the image below and how the Law of Conservation of Energy is maintained.
Karolina [17]

The chemical energy of petrol is converted to heat energy on combustion. The heat energy is converted to kinetic energy by the use of internal combustion engines in vehicles. The law of conservation of energy is maintained in each process.

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>

The kinetic energy of an object is associated with its motion. It can be related to the mass and velocity as

K.E = 1/2 mv²

Given is a diagram of energy conversion due to combustion.

The chemical energy of petrol is converted to heat energy on combustion. The heat energy is converted to kinetic energy by the use of internal combustion engines in vehicles.

The law of conservation of energy states that the energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can be only converted to one form to the other.

In the given process, the mass decreases but energy remains the same in all forms of energy.

Hence, the law of conservation of energy is maintained in each process

As part of an exercise program, a woman walks south at a speed of 2.00 m/s for 60.0 minutes. She then turns around and walks nor
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

Option A

Solution:

As per the question:

The distance covered by the woman in the North direction, d = 3000 m

Time taken to travel in North direction, t = 25.0 min = 1500 s

Velocity of woman in the south direction, v = 2.00 m/s

Time taken in the south direction, t' = 60.0 min = 3600 s

Now,

The distance covered in the south direction, d' = vt' = 2.00\times 3600 = 7200\ m

Now, the total displacement is given by:

D = d' - d = 7200 - 3000 = 4200 m in South

(a) Average velocity of the woman in the whole journey is given by:

v_{avg} = \frac{Total\ displacement}{Total\ time} = \frac{4200}{t + t'}

v_{avg} = \frac{4200}{1500 + 3600} = 0.8235\ m/s ≈ 0.824 m/s South
