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.

How much force is required to move a electron through an electric field with strength of 1.375 x 10^19 N/C?

Luda [366]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force required to move the electron through the given field is 2.203 N

Explanation:

Given;

The field strength of the electron, E = 1.375 x 10¹⁹ N/C

charge of electron, q = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

The magnitude of the force required to move the electron through the given field is calculated as follows;

F = Eq

F = (1.375 x 10¹⁹ N/C) (1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C)

F = 2.203 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the force required to move the electron through the given field is 2.203 N

Answer:

The value is $C = 30729\ c$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The power rating of the stove is $P = 4.4 KW = 4.4 *10^{3} \ W$

The duration of its use everyday is $t_1 = 70 \ minutes = 1.167 \ hours$

The rating of the light bulbs is $P_2' = 150 W$

The number is $n = 7$

The power rating of the total bulb is $P_2 = 7 * 150 = 1050 \ W$

The duration of its use everyday is $t_2 = 7 hours$

The power rating of miscellaneous appliance $P_3 = 1.8 \ KW = 1.8 *10^{3} \ W$

The duration of its use everyday is $t_3 = 1 hour$

The power rating of hot water $P = 4 KW = 4 *10^{3} \ W$

The duration of its use everyday is $t_4 = 120 \ minutes = 2 hours$

Generally the total electrical energy used in 1 month is mathematically represented as

$E = P_1 * t_1 * 30 + P_2 * t_2 * 30 + P_3 * t_3 * 30+ P_4 * t_4 * 30$

=> $E = 4.4*10^{3} * 1.167 * 30 + 1050 * 7 * 30 + 1.8 *1 * 30+ 4*10^{3} * 2 * 30$

=> $E = 614598 \ W \cdot h$

=> $E = 614.6 \ K W \cdot h$

Generally the monthly electricity bill is mathematically represented as

$C = 614.6 * 50$

=> $C = 30729\ c$

The rocket is fired vertically and tracked by the radar station shown. When θ reaches 66°, other corresponding measurements give

Flauer [41]

Answer:

velocity = 1527.52 ft/s

Acceleration = 80.13 ft/s²

Explanation:

We are given;

Radius of rotation; r = 32,700 ft

Radial acceleration; a_r = r¨ = 85 ft/s²

Angular velocity; ω = θ˙˙ = 0.019 rad/s

Also, angle θ reaches 66°

So, velocity of the rocket for the given position will be;

v = rθ˙˙/cos θ

so, v = 32700 × 0.019/ cos 66

v = 1527.52 ft/s

Acceleration is given by the formula ;

a = a_r/sinθ

For the given position,

a_r = r¨ - r(θ˙˙)²

Thus,

a = (r¨ - r(θ˙˙)²)/sinθ

Plugging in the relevant values, we obtain;

a = (85 - 32700(0.019)²)/sin66

a = (85 - 11.8047)/0.9135

a = 80.13 ft/s²

An infant's toy has a 120 g wooden animal hanging from a spring. If pulled down gently, the animal oscillates up and down with a

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

0.37 m

Explanation:

The angular frequency, ω, of a loaded spring is related to the period, T, by

$\omega = \dfrac{2\pi}{T}$

The maximum velocity of the oscillation occurs at the equilibrium point and is given by

$v = \omega A$

A is the amplitude or maximum displacement from the equilibrium.

$v = \dfrac{2\pi A}{T}$

From the the question, T = 0.58 and A = 25 cm = 0.25 m. Taking π as 3.142,

$v = \dfrac{2\times3.142\times0.25\text{ m}}{0.58\text{ s}} = 2.71 \text{ m/s}$

To determine the height we reached, we consider the beginning of the vertical motion as the equilibrium point with velocity, v. Since it is against gravity, acceleration of gravity is negative. At maximum height, the final velocity is 0 m/s. We use the equation

$v_f^2 = v_i^2+2ah$

$v_f$ is the final velocity, $v_i$ is the initial velocity (same as v above), a is acceleration of gravity and h is the height.

$h = \dfrac{v_f^2 - v_i^2}{2a}$

$h = \dfrac{0^2 - 2.71^2}{2\times-9.81} = 0.37 \text{ m}$
