Answer:

The mechanical energy is converted to potential energy while the kinetic energy is zero

Explanation:

mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object. The total mechanical energy is the sum of these two forms of energy.

The Law of Conservation of Energy: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but is merely changed from one form into another. This means that potential energy can become kinetic energy, or vice versa, but energy cannot “disappear”.

The mechanical energy is converted to potential energy while the kinetic energy is zero

What is the driving force for (a) heat transfer, (b) electric current, and (c) fluid flow?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The driving force for (a) heat transfer is temperature difference. (b) electric current is voltage difference. (c) fluid flow is pressure or hydraulic head difference.

Explanation: (a) The driving force for heat transfer is temperature difference. Heat transfer between two mediums is possible only if the two mediums are at different temperature, the higher the temperature, the higher the heat transfer.

(b) The driving force for electric current is voltage difference. Voltage difference is defined as the potential difference in charge between two points in electrical field. For electric current to occur,the voltage must be high.

(c) The driving force for fluid flow is pressure difference or hydraulic head difference. For fluid to move upward,it requires energy.

Tom kicks a soccer ball on a flat, level field giving it an initial speed of 20 m/s at an angle of 35 degrees above the horizont
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

(a) 2.34 s

(b) 6.71 m

(c) 38.35 m

(d) 20 m/s

Explanation:

u = 20 m/s, theta = 35 degree

(a) The formula for the time of flight is given by

T = \frac{2 u Sin\theta }{g}

T = \frac{2 \times 20 \times Sin35 }{9.8}

T = 2.34 second

(b) The formula for the maximum height is given by

H = \frac{u^{2} \times Sin^{2}\theta }{2g}

H = \frac{20^{2} \times Sin^{2}35 }{2 \times 9.8}

H  = 6.71 m

(c) The formula for the range is given by

R = \frac{u^{2} \times Sin 2\theta }{g}

R = \frac{20^{2} \times Sin 2 \times 35}{9.8}

R = 38.35 m

(d) It hits with the same speed at the initial speed.

We have a toy gun with a spring constant of 50 N/m. The spring is compressed by 0.2 m. If you neglect friction and the mass of t
Arisa [49]

Answer:

31.6\:\mathrm{m/s}

Explanation:

The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by Us=\frac{1}{2}kx^2, where k is the spring constant of the spring and x is displacement from point of equilibrium.

When released, this potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is given by KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2, where m is the mass of the object and v is the object's velocity.

Thus, we have:

Us=KE,\\\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

Substituting given values, we get:

\frac{1}{2}\cdot 50\cdot 0.2^2=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 0.002\cdot v^2,\\v^2=\frac{50\cdot 0.2^2}{0.002},\\v^2=1000,\\v\approx \boxed{31.6\:\mathrm{m/s}}

An orange light (f = 5.2 * 10'4Hz) is
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

2.145×10^-10 V or 0.2145nV

Explanation:

From hf=eV

h= Plank's constant = 6.6×10^-34JS

f= frequency of the electromagnetic wave = 5.2×10^4 Hz

e= electronic charge= 1.6×10^-19 C

V= voltage

V= hf/e

V= 6.6×10^-34JS × 5.2×10^4 Hz/ 1.6×10^-19 C

V= 2.145×10^-10 V or 0.2145nV

Therefore the voltage created is 2.145×10^-10 V or 0.2145nV

How does the direction of acceleration compare with the direction of the net force that produces it
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The direction of the acceleration is in the same direction as the net force causing it.  F = ma is actually a vector equation in which f and a are both vectors and m is a scalar constant.
