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.

T=2,5s
a=g≈10m/s²

h=s=?

s= \frac{1}{2} at^2 \Leftrightarrow h=\frac{1}{2}gt^2=\frac{1}{2}*10m/s^2 *(2,5s)^2=5m/s^2* \frac{25}{4} s^2=\boxed{31,25m}

Jenny was applying her makeup when she drove into the student parking lot last Friday morning . Unaware that Cheryl was stopped
Akimi4 [234]

Answer: F = 102141N

Explanation: <em><u>Newton's 2nd Law</u></em> states that a force can change the motion of a body. The relation is given by

F = m.a

whose units are:

[F] = N

[m] = kg

[a] = m/s²

Jenny's car, at the moment of the break, had acceleration:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

a=\frac{11}{0.14}

a = 78.57 m/s²

Then, Force is

F = 1300*78.57

F = 102141 N

<u>Jenny's car experienced a force of </u><u>magnitude 102141N.</u>

What are the differences between the practical and the ideal pendulum​
ankoles [38]

lf a heavy point mass is suspended by a weightless, inextensible and perfectly flexible string from a rigid support, then this arrangement is called simple pendulum.

In practice, however, these requirements cannot be fulfilled. So we use a practical pendulum.

A practical pendulum consists of a small metallic solid sphere suspended by a fine silk thread from a rigid support. This is the practical simple pendulum which is nearest to the ideal simple pendulum.

Note :

The metallic sphere is called the bob.

When the bob is displaced slightly to one side from its mean position and released, it oscillates about its mean position in a vertical plane.

In the final situation below, the 8.0 kg box has been launched with a speed of 10.0 m/s across a frictionless surface. Find the
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

the energy of the spring at the start is 400 J.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the box, m = 8.0 kg

final speed of the box, v = 10 m/s

Apply the principle of conservation of energy to determine the energy of the spring at the start;

Final Kinetic energy of the box = initial elastic potential energy of the spring

K.E = Ux

¹/₂mv² = Ux

¹/₂ x 8 x 10² = Ux

400 J = Ux

Therefore, the energy of the spring at the start is 400 J.

What is one watt ? Write the relation of watt with kilowatt , megawatt , and horsepower .​
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

The watt (the power) is equal to the relationship between the work and the time in which that work is performed.

P = W/t

where:

W = work [J] (units of Joules)

t = time [s].

Now 1000 [W] are equal to 1 [kW]

And 1000000 [W] are equal to 1 [MW]

The horsepower is the unit of power in the imperial system of units.

And 745.7 [W] are equal to 1 [Hp]
