Jay bought a toy car. To make the car move, he must turn a key attached to a spring. Turning the key winds the spring tight. The

toy car moves when the key is released and the spring unwinds. What’s the main transformation of energy in this example?

The chemical energy in Jay's body, to kinetic energy in the car

Answer:

Elastic potential energy into kinetic energy

Explanation:

Initially, all the energy is stored in the spring, which is compressed. This energy is called elastic potential energy, and it is equal to

U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

where k is the spring constant and x is the compression of the spring. When the key is turned, the spring is released, and all this energy is converted into kinetic energy, which is the energy due to the motion of the car. The equation that gives this energy is

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where m is the mass of the car and v is the speed of the car.

What is the density (in kg/m3) of a woman who floats in freshwater with 4.92% of her volume above the surface
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The density of the woman is 950.8 kg/m³

Explanation:

Given;

fraction of the woman's volume above the surface = 4.92%

then, fraction of the woman's volume below the surface = 100 - 4.92% = 95.08%

the specific gravity of the woman = \frac{95.08}{100 } = 0.9508

The density of the woman is calculate as;

Specific \ gravity \ of \ the \ woman = \frac{Density \ of \ the \ woman }{Density \ of \ fresh \ water }\\\\ Density \ of \ the \ woman  = Specific \ gravity \ of \ the \ woman \ \times \ Density \ of \ fresh \ water

Density of fresh water = 1000 kg/m³

Density of the woman = 0.9508 x 1000 kg/m³

Density of the woman = 950.8 kg/m³

Therefore, the density of the woman is 950.8 kg/m³

A spy in a speed boat is being chased down a river by government officials in a faster craft. Just as the officials’ boat pulls
babunello [35]

Answer:

They are 7.4m apart.

Explanation:

Here we have a parabolic motion problem. we need the time taken to land so:

Y=Yo+Vo*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2

considerating only the movement on Y axis:

0=4.6-(9.81)*t^2\\t=0.68s

Because we have a contant velocity motion on X axis:

xs=vs*t\\xs=17m/s*(0.68s)\\xs=11.6m

and

xg=vg*t\\xg=28m/s*(0.68s)\\xg=19m

the distance between them is given by:

d=|xg-xs|\\d=7.4m
