<u>Complete Question:</u>

Which is an example of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy? Select two options.

changing thermal energy to electrical energy

changing chemical energy to thermal energy

changing nuclear energy to radiant energy

changing radiant energy to electrical energy

changing mechanical energy to chemical energy

<u>Correct Answer:</u>

The examples of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy are changing chemical energy to thermal energy and changing nuclear energy to radiant energy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

As stated by the conservation of energy law, any form of energy is usually transferred to another form. The basic kinds of energy is potential and kinetic energy. Potential energy is the energy stored for the objects at rest and kinetic energy is the energy utilized by the objects for motion.

So in the given options, chemical energy is the energy stored by the chemical bonds to make a stable compound and that energy is converted to thermal energy when the bonds get broken. So the stored energy or the energy required to keep the bonds intact is chemical energy and it is thus a form of potential energy.

And when these bonds get broken, the electrons use the thermal energy released by this breakage as their kinetic energy. So one form of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy is by changing chemical energy to thermal energy.

Similarly, the nuclear energy is exhibited by the elementary particles in an atom. So it is similar to potential energy and the radiant energy is released whenever there is an excitation. So the radiant energy will be similar to kinetic energy.

Thus, the changing of chemical energy to thermal energy and the changing of nuclear energy to radiant energy are the examples of transforming potential energy to kinetic energy.

What would a series circuit be used for?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

a series circuit would be an odd choice to power a battery or light a lamp when a direct would be much more efficient, and it's not converting types of energy, so C is the best possible answer

Jen pushed a box for a distance of 80m with 20 N of force. How much work did she do?
Drupady [299]
The answer is 1,600 J.

A work (W) can be expressed as a product of a force (F) and a distance (d):
W = F · d<span>

We have:
W = ?
F = 20 N = 20 kg*m/s</span>²
d = 80 m
_____
W = 20 kg*m/s² * 80 m
W = 20 * 80 kg*m/s² * m
W = 1600 kg*m²/s²
W = 1600 J

Discuss whether any work is being done by each of the following agents and, if so, whether the work is positive or negative: (a)
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

a) As the chicken is still, the displacement is zero, which implies that the work is zero.

b) as the person is still there is no displacement therefore the work is zero

c) Lagraua applies a vertical force and the displacement is vertical, therefore the Work is positive

d) the force of gravity is directed downwards and the displacement is upwards, therefore the angle between it is 180º and the 180º fly is -1. Consequently the lock is negative

e) when the person meticulously feels the upward force and the displacement is downward, therefore the work is negative

Explanation:

Work is defined by the expression

        W = F. r

bold letters indicate vectors, we can write this expression as a module

        W= F r cos θ

where is at the angle between force and displacement.

Let's apply this expression to the different cases

a) As the chicken is still, the displacement is zero, which implies that the work is zero.

b) as the person is still there is no displacement therefore the work is zero

c) Lagraua applies a vertical force and the displacement is vertical, therefore the Work is positive

d) the force of gravity is directed downwards and the displacement is upwards, therefore the angle between it is 180º and the 180º fly is -1. Consequently the lock is negative

e) when the person meticulously feels the upward force and the displacement is downward, therefore the work is negative
