The correct answer is

C. reduce the friction between its moving parts


In fact, by reducing the friction between the moving parts of the machine, it is possible to reduce the energy wasted due to this friction; therefore, more input energy is converted into useful work, and this will improve the efficiency of the machine.

Answer: We can reasonably improve a machines ability to do work by reducing the friction between the moving parts of machine. The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, the energy can neither be created nor destroyed. The energy can be converted from one form to another.

The energy is wasted due to the friction. It reduces the efficiency of the machines to do the work. There will be energy loss due to the friction. By reducing the friction, More energy can be converted into the work.

Therefore, we can reasonably improve a machines ability to do work by reducing the friction between the moving parts of machine.

Answer:

b) Nothing will happen,  the sea saw will still be balanced.

Explanation:

b) Nothing will happen,  the sea saw will still be balanced.

Reason:-

When two kids are balanced, the sum of torques on the seesaw will be zero.

if each kid, reduces their distances by half, then the torque of each kid will be half and the sum of torque of each on the seesaw will be zero.

Therefore the seesaw is balanced

A proton and an electron are released from rest, with only the electrostatic force acting. Which of the following statements mus
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

their electrical potential energy decreases. True, because of the negative sign as the distance decreases, it becomes more negative.

The kinetic energy increases. True, the force is attractive as the distance decreases the force increases, so acceleration and therefore the speed

Explanation:

The only force between the proton and the electron is electric

      Fe = k q1q2 / r2

      Fe = - k e2 / r2

We can see that it is an attractive force (negative sign)

The electric power energy is

       U = k q1 q2 / r

       U = -k e2 / r

 

The kinetic energy is

       K = ½ m v2

With the expressions for each term we can analyze the sentences :

Their electric potential energy increases. False,

their electrical potential energy decreases. True, because of the negative sign as the distance decreases, it becomes more negative.

The kinetic energy increases. True, the force is attractive as the distance decreases the force increases, so acceleration and therefore the speed

Kinetic energy decreases False

The acceleration decreases.  False, as the force increases so does the acceleration
