Internal energy.

Explanation:

In any substance/object, the particles inside it (atoms/molecules) constantly move in random directions and with random speeds (this motion is called Brownian motion). As a result, the particles have some kinetic energy (which is proportional to the temperature of the substance). Moreover, the particles interact with each other due to the presence of electrostatic intermolecular forces, and as a result, the particles also have some potential energy.

The sum of the kinetic energies and potential energies of the particles in a substance is called internal energy.

Internal energy would be the answer because it says the sum of energies "IN" the particles.

Which statement best describes the work and energy in these examples?
solniwko [45]

Answer: <u>Option A: </u>The gas and food are examples of energy.

Explanation:

Work and energy are inter-related. Energy is required to do the work. An equal amount of energy is converted into work. Work and energy have same units. The SI unit is Joule.

The gas and food are sources of energy. They act as fuel. This energy is utilized to perform work. The gas is used to run the car. The food is metabolized inside the body which is a source of energy and utilized to perform every day work.

Hence, The gas and food are examples of energy.

Future space rockets might propel themselves by firing laser beams, rather than exhaust gases, out the back. The acceleration wo
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Acceleration = 0.0282 m/s^2

Distance = 13.98 * 10^12 m

Explanation:

we will apply the energy theorem

work done = ΔK.E ( change in Kinetic energy )  ---- ( 1 )

<em>where :</em>

work done = p * t

                  = 15 * 10^6 watts * ( 1 year ) = 473040000 * 10^6 J

( note : convert 1 year to seconds )

and ΔK.E = 1/2 mVf^2   given ; m = 1200 kg  and initial V = 0

<u>back to equation 1 </u>

473040000 * 10^6  = 1/2 mv^2

Vf^2 = 2(473040000 * 10^6 ) / 1200

∴ Vf = 887918.92 m/s

<u>i) Determine how fast the rocket is ( acceleration of the rocket )</u>

a = Vf / t

  = 887918.92 / ( 1 year )

  = 0.0282 m/s^2

<u>ii) determine distance travelled by rocket </u>

Vf^2 - Vi^2 = 2as

Vi = 0

hence ; Vf^2 = 2as

s ( distance ) =  Vf^2 / ( 2a )

                     = ( 887918.92 )^2 / ( 2 * 0.0282 )

                    = 13.98 * 10^12 m
