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.

A bathtub contains 65 gallons of water and the total weight of the tub and water is approximately 931.925 pounds. You pull the p
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Q = 8,345 * v

Explanation:

So, we are looking for an expression of the amount of water that has been drained from the tub. The expression is in terms of v that represent the number of gallons of water drained since the plug was pulled. Since we are interested in the pounds of water that has been drained from the tub we need to take into account that for every gallon of water drained, 8.345 pounds have left the tub. Therefore, the expression for the weight of water Q that has been drained from the tub in terms of v is simply :

Q = 8,345 * v

Where v is the amount of gallons that has been drained from the tub.

20. The speed of Light is 3.0 x 108 m/s. Blue Light has a frequency of 6.11 x 1014 Hz. What is its wavelength?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

4.91 x 10⁻⁷ m

Explanation:

the applicable formula is

v = fλ

where

v = velocity (i.e speed) = given as 3.0 x 10⁸ m/s

f = frequency = given asw 6.11 x 10¹⁴

λ = wavelength

if we rearrange the equation and substitute the values given above,

v = fλ

λ = v/f  

= 3.0 x 10⁸ / 6.11 x 10¹⁴

= 4.91 x 10⁻⁷ m

A deuteron consists of one proton and one neutron. A deuteron moving horizontally enters a uniform, vertical magnetic field of 0
Helen [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the velocity of deuteron be v then force on it in magnetic field

Bqv , B is magnetic field and q is charge on deuteron . This force will provide centripetal force for circular path so

mv² / r = Bqv   m is mass of deuteron and r is radius of circular path

v = Bqr / m

(.5 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 55.6 x 10⁻² )/ 3.34 x 10⁻²⁷

= 13.31 x 10⁶ m /s
