How is energy conserved in a transformation?

As the water plunges, its velocity increases. Its potential energy<span> becomes kinetic</span>energy<span>. The law of conservation of </span>energy<span> states that when one form of </span>energy<span> is</span>transformed<span> to another, no </span>energy<span> is destroyed in the process. ... So the total amount of </span>energy<span> is the same before and after any </span>transformation<span>.

hope it helps

Explain what happens to the pitch of a cell phone ringing when the amplitude of a sound wave increases.

rewona [7]

As the amplitude of a sound wave increases the pitch of the ringing would be much higher (like if you were to inhale helium.. just with a phone)

One end of an insulated metal rod is maintained at 100 ∘C and the other end is maintained at 0.00 ∘C by an ice–water mixture. Th

lozanna [386]

Answer:

$k=105.0359\times 10^4\,W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

temperature at the hotter end, $T_H=100^{\circ}C$

temperature at the cooler end, $T_C=0^{\circ}C$

length of rod through which the heat travels, $dx=0.7\,m$

cross-sectional area of rod, $A=1.1\times 10^{-4}\,cm^2$

mass of ice melted at zero degree Celsius, $m=8.7\times 10^{-3}\,kg$

time taken for the melting of ice, $t=15\times60=900\,s$

thermal conductivity k=?

By Fourier's Law of conduction we have:

$\dot{Q}=k.A.\frac{dT}{dx}$ ......................................(1)

where:

$\dot{Q}$ =rate of heat transfer

dT= temperature difference across the length dx

Now, we need the total heat transfer according to the condition:

we know the latent heat of fusion of ice, $L = 334000\,J.kg^{-1}$

$Q=m.L$

$Q=8.7\times 10^{-3}\times 334000$

$Q=2905.8\,J$

Now the heat rate:

$\dot{Q}=\frac{Q}{t}$

$\dot{Q}=\frac{2905.8}{900}$

$\dot{Q}=3.2287\,W$

Now using eq,(1)

$3.2287=k\times 1.1\times 10^{-4} \times \frac{100}{0.7}$

$k=205.4606\,W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}$

5. A cheetah with a mass of 70 kg was clocked running at 72 mph (32 m's). How many joules of

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Kinetic energy = 35840 Joules

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 70kg

Velocity = 32m/s

To find the kinetic energy;

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}$

Where, K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.

M represents mass measured in kilograms.

V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}*70*32^{2}$

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}*70*1024$

$K.E = 35 * 1024$

K.E = 35840 Joules.

Therefore, the kinetic energy possessed by the cheetah is 35840 Joules.
