Why can work be thought of as the transfer of energy? Please help it's physics

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.

In the context of variables and measurement scales, the magnitude of the differences between the numbers on the scale is meaning
olga2289 [7]

In the context of variables and measurement scales, the magnitude of the differences between the numbers on the scale is meaningful interval scale.

<h3>What is an interval scale?</h3>

It should be noted that an interval scale means a measurement where the difference between the variables is meaningful and equal.

In this case, in the context of variables and measurement scales, the magnitude of the differences between the numbers on the scale is meaningful interval scale.

An insulated Thermos contains 140 cm3 of hot coffee at 85.0°C. You put in a 15.0 g ice cube at its melting point to cool the cof
Pavel [41]

Answer:

T = 69^o C

Explanation:

Here at thermal equilibrium we can say that thermal energy given by Hot coffee is equal to the thermal energy absorbed by ice cubes

So here we have

Q_{ice} = Q_{coffee}

now since ice cubes are added into coffee when it is at melting temperature

So here we can say that final temperature of coffee is T degree C

Now we have

m_1L + m_1c_1\Delta T_1 = m_2c_2\Delta T_2

here we have

m_1 = 15 gram

L = 333 kJ/kg = 333 J/g[/tex]

c_1 = c_2 = 4186 J/kg C = 4.186 J/g C

\Delta T_1 = T - 0

\Delta T_2 = 85 - T

now we have

15(333) + 15(4.186)(T - 0) = 140(4.186)(85 - T)

4995 + 62.79T = 49813.4 - 586.04T

648.83 T = 44818.4

T = 69^o C

Match each label to the boundary it describes. convergent boundary new crust forms transform boundary crust submerges into the m
Paraphin [41]

The answers would be:

CONVERGENT boundary - Crust submerges into the mantle

TRANSFORM boundary - neither forms nor submerges

DIVERGENT boundary - new crust forms

If you'd like to know more about the different boundaries, read on:

Convergent boundaries occur when two plates move TOWARDS each other. The event where crust submerges into the mantle is called <em><u>subduction</u></em> and this occurs when an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide. The oceanic plate is more dense and thinner than the continental plate, so it slides under it.

Transform boundaries occur when two plates slide against each other. They move slide side by side, so nothing is formed nor do they go under each other. Although, this type of boundaries create strong earthquakes.

Lastly, divergent boundaries occur when two plates move apart. The separation creates a way for magma to come up. New crust is formed when the magma that seeps out is cooled by its cooler surroundings. This is observed in the mid oceanic ridge.
