Which energy transformations occur when a candle burns?

2 answers:

<span>This would be chemical energy that is converted to heat. The heat from the wick melts the wax which gets absorbed in the wick and then gets burnt (which is really oxidation) to produce heat energy.</span>

Answer:

Chemical energy into Thermal energy and Light Energy

Explanation:

When candle is burnt then its wax which is a having chemical potential energy in it will burn and convert its chemical potential energy into light energy and thermal energy.

So here the wax will melt down after burning and few of its part will evaporate and convert its energy into thermal energy and light energy both.

So overall if we write energy transformation in this

Chemical potential energy of wax = Light Energy + Thermal energy

PLS HELP!!! A 1200-kg whale swims horizontally to the right at a speed of 6.0 m/s. It suddenly collides directly with a stationa

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

7200 kg.m/s

Explanation:

According the law of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of momentum before and after collision are equal.

Using this principle, the sum of initial momentum will be given as p=mv where p is momentum, m is mass and v is velocity

Initial momentum

Mass of whale*initial velocity of whale + mass of seal*initial seal velocity

Since the seal is initially stationary, its velocity is zero. By substitution and taking right direction as positive

Initial momentum will be

1200*6+(280*0)=7200 kg.m/s

Since both initial and final momentum should be equal, hence the final momentum will also be 7200 kg.m/s

A plane is flying east when it drops some supplies to a designated target below. The supplies land after falling for 10 seconds.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

solution:

As Given plane is flying in east direction.

It throws back some supplies to designated target.

Time taken by the supply to reach the target =10 seconds

g = Acceleration due to gravity = - 9.8 m/s²[Taken negative as object is falling Downwards]

As we have to find distance from the ground to plane which is given by d.

d = $\frac{1}{2}\times g\times t^2$

= $\frac{1}{2}\times (9.8) \times(100) =50\times 9.8=490$ meters

Distance from the ground where supplies has to be land to plane = Option B =490 meters

An object has an acceleration of 6.0 m/s/s. If the net force was doubled and the mass was one-third the original value, then the

alexandr402 [8]

Hahahahaha. Okay.

So basically , force is equal to mass into acceleration.

F=ma

so when F=ma , we get acceleration=6m/s/s

Force is doubled.

Mass is 1/3 times original.

2F=1/3ma

Now , we rearrange , and we get 6F=ma

So , now for 6 times the original force , we get 6 times the initial acceleration.

So new acceleration = 6*6= 36m/s/s

A bowling ball moving with a velocity of 5V to the right collides elastically with a beach ball moving at a velocity 2V to the l

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

$v'_2=3V$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Bowling ball Speed $v_1=5 m/s$

Beach ball Speed $v_2=2 m/s$

Let The Mass be equal i.e

$M_1=M_2$

Therefore

Generally the equation for Velocity of beach ball after collision $v'_2$ is mathematically given by

Since Velocity is Vector Quantity

Therefore

$v'_2=v_1-v_2$

$v'_2=5-2$

$v'_2=3V$

In the Biomedical and Physical Sciences building at MSU there are 135 steps from the ground floor to the sixth floor. Each step

Kipish [7]

Answer:

W = 16.4 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

There are 135 steps from the ground floor to the sixth floor.

Each step is 16.6 cm tall.

The mass of a person, m = 73.5 kg

We need to find the work done by the person. We know that,

Work done = Fd

Where

d is the displacement, d = 135 × 0.166 = 22.41

So,

W = 73.5 × 10 × 22.41

= 16471.35 J

W = 16.4 kJ

So, 16.4 kJ is the work done by the person.
