That is because work requires energy. According to the law of conservation of energy, it cannot be created or destroyed. When doing work, energy change forms and gets transferred to the object until it is released.
for example, when you lift up an object and place it on a higher elevation, you transferred energy to it and gave it potential energy. The potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy when the object falls down, and if it hits a surface, the energy will scatter, vibrating the areas around it and producing sound.
Also, work= force X distance. The energy does not go away, but rather get changed into some other form of energy

Take an object on the ground. Now lift it up. You do work against gravity. Now, if you let it drop then it'll gain speed as it falls. That;s kinetic energy. It came from the potential energy which was from the work done. So, work went to potential energy and now goes to kinetic energy.

Andru [333]

Answer:

<em>Infrared telescope and camera</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

An infrared telescope uses infrared light to detect celestial bodies. The infrared radiation is one of the known forms of electromagnetic radiation. Infrared radiation is given off by a body possessing some form of heat. All bodies above the absolute zero temperature in the universe radiates some form of heat, which can then be detected by an infrared telescope, and infrared radiation can be used to study or look into a system that is void of detectable visible light.

Stars are celestial bodies that are constantly radiating heat. In order to see a clearer picture of the these bodies, <em>Infrared images is better used, since they are able to penetrate the surrounding clouds of dust,</em> and have located many more stellar components than any other types of telescope, especially in dusty regions of star clusters like the Trapezium cluster.

andre [41]

Answer:

0.035 N

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Charge q1 = -3.31x10^(-7) C

Charge q2 = -5.7x10^(-7) C.

Distance between them, R = 22 cm = 0.22 m

Electrostatic force between to particles is given as:

F = (k* q1 * q2) / R²

F = (9 * 10^9 * -3.31 * 10^(-7) * -5.7 * 10^(-7)) / 0.22²

F = 0.035 N

How much acceleration can most humans stand before they pass out?
kumpel [21]
Normal humans can withstand no more than 9 g's, and even that for only a few seconds. When undergoing an acceleration of 9 g's, your body feels nine times heavier than usual, blood rushes to the feet, and the heart can't pump hard enough to bring this heavier blood to the brain.
