What is the law of conservation of energy?

1 answer:

6 0

The law of conservation of energy, a fundamental concept of physics, states that the total amount of energy remains constant in an isolated system. It implies that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but can be change from one form to another.

Suppose that a balloon is being filled with air at a rate of 10 cm3/s. (Assume that theballoon is a perfect sphere.) At what rat

Basile [38]

Answer:

Therefore the surface area of the balloon is increased at 4 cm³/s.

Explanation:

The balloon is being filled with air at a rate of 10 cm³/s

It means the volume of the balloon is increased at a rate 10 cm³/s.

i.e $\frac{dv}{dt} =10 cm^3/s$

Consider r be the radius of the balloon.

The volume of of a sphere is

$v=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$

Differentiate with respect to t

$\frac{dv}{dt} =\frac{4}{3} \pi \times 3r^2\frac{dr}{dt}$

$\Rightarrow 10 =4\pi r^2\frac{dr}{dt}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dr}{dt}=\frac{10}{4\pi r^2}$

The surface of area of the balloon is(S) = $4\pi r^2$

$S=4\pi r^2$

Differentiate with respect to t

$\frac{dS}{dt} =4\pi\times2r\frac{dr}{dt}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dS}{dt} =8\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}$

Putting the value of $\frac{dr}{dt}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dS}{dt} =8\pi r\times\frac{10}{4\pi r^2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dS}{dt} =\frac{20}{ r}$

Given that r = 5 cm

$[\frac{dS}{dt}]_{r=5} =\frac{20}{ 5}$ =4 cm³/s

Therefore the surface area of the balloon is increased at 4 cm³/s.

suppose a car manufacturer tested its cars for front end collsion by hauling them up on a crane and dropping them from a certain

IRINA_888 [86]

Initial height: 66.5 m

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using the principle of conservation of energy.

If we neglect air resistance, the total mechanical energy of the car is conserved during the fall, therefore we can write:

$K_i + U_i = K_f + U_f$

where :

$K_i = 0$ is the kinetic energy of the car at the top (it starts from rest)

$U_i = mgh$ is the gravitational potential energy of the car at the top, with:

m = the mass of the car

g = the acceleration of gravity

h = the heigth of the car

$K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$ is the kinetic energy of the car just before hitting the ground, with

v = 130 km/h final speed of the car

$U_f = 0$ is the gravitational potential energy of the car at the bottom

Re-arranging the equation, we find

$mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

and we have:

$g=9.8 m/s^2\\v = 130 km/h = 36.1 m/s$

Solving for h, we find the initial height of the car:

$h=\frac{v^2}{2g}=\frac{36.1^2}{2(9.8)}=66.5 m$

Which has more inertia a shopping cart full or groceries or an empty shopping cart?

morpeh [17]

I think that the shopping cart full of groceries has more inertia because it is the one with more tendency to do nothing or be still.
