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 do you work out instantaneous speed?
Alik [6]
To calculate instantaneous speed, we need to divide part of the total distance traveled by time. However, we don't want to use the distance of the entire trip, because that will give us average speed.

You put a bottle of soft drink in a refrigerator and leave it until its temperature has dropped 12.0K .
Bingel [31]

Answer: a) - 437.8° F, b) - 261°c.

Explanation: a) the kelvin and Fahrenheit temperature scale are related by the formulae below.

5 (°F - 32) = 9 (k - 273)

Where °F = temperature in Fahrenheit and k = temperature in kelvin.

For question A, k = 12.0, by substituting to have the value for °F, we have

5(°F - 32) = 9 ( 12 - 273)

5(°F - 32) = 9(-261)

5(°F - 32) = - 2349

°F - 32 = - 2349/5

°F - 32 = - 469.8

°F = - 469.8 + 32

°F = - 437.8

Question B

The centigrade and kelvin scale are related by the formulae below

°c = k - 273

Where °c = temperature in centigrade and k = temperature in kelvin =12

°c = 12 - 273

°c = - 261

A bullet leaves a rifle with a muzzle velocity of 521 m/s. while accelerating through the barrel of the rifle, the bullet moves
iVinArrow [24]
velocity=\frac{distance}{time}\\\\&#10;velocity*time=distance\\\\&#10;time=\frac{distance}{velocity}\\\\&#10;time=\frac{0,840m}{521\frac{m}{s}}=0,0016s\\\\&#10;acceleration=\frac{velocity}{time}=\frac{521}{0,0016}=325625\frac{m}{s^2}
