Answer:
x = 5.79 m
Explanation:
given,
mass of the car = 39000 Kg
spring constant = 5.7 x 10⁵ N/m
acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
height of the track = 25 m
length of spring compressed = ?
using conservation of energy
potential energy is converted into spring energy
x = 5.79 m
the spring is compressed to x = 5.79 m to stop the car.
Answer:
45200J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Heat of vaporization of water = 2260J/g
Mass of steam = 20g
Temperature = 100°C
Unknown:
Energy released during the condensation = ?
Solution:
This change is a phase change and there is no change in temperature
To find the amount of heat released;
H = mL
m is the mass
L is the latent heat of vaporization
Insert the parameters and solve;
H = 20g x 2260J/g
H = 45200J
The answer is Earths rotation
Answer:
500J
Explanation:
The arrow will have an energy of 500J after it has been released from its state of rest.
This is compliance with the law of conservation of energy which states that "in every system, energy is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another".
- The energy at rest which is the potential energy is 500J
- This energy will be converted to kinetic energy in total after the arrow has been released.
- This way, no energy is lost and we can account for the energy transformations occurring.
