When a rock is held above the ground, we say it has some potential energy. When we let it go, it falls and we say the potential

energy is converted to kinetic energy. Finally, the rock hits the ground (and stays there). What has happened to the energy?

Answer:

Energy converted to heat and sound. Deformation of soil or ground may also take up some energy.

Explanation:

When the rock hits the ground, a part of the energy is converted to heat (thermal energy) and sound. If the ground is soft, it will be compressed by the rock when it lands. This deformation of the ground will take up some of the energy.

We can think of kinetic energy being transferred to the ground in the following way:

1. Ball hits the ground, and transfers kinetic energy to lots of soil particles.

2. Soil particles move a bit and transfer the energy to soil particles ahead of them.

3. Kinetic energy is transferred to a very large number of soil particles, and they move so little that we consider this vibration motion.

4. This small vibration motion is now considered as internal energy or 'heat'.

uysha [10]

Answer:

Time=8.23880597 seconds

Explanation:

Quantity of charge(q)=2.76c

Current(I)=0.335A

Time(t)=?

t=q/I

t=2.76/0.335

t=8.23880597seconds

Calculate the acceleration of a 1000 kg car if the motor provides a small thrust of 1000 N and the static and dynamic friction c
grin007 [14]

Explanation :

It is given that,

Mass of the car, m = 1000 kg              

Force applied by the motor, F_A=1000\ N

The static and dynamic friction coefficient is, \mu=0.5

Let a is the acceleration of the car. Since, the car is in motion, the coefficient of sliding friction can be used. At equilibrium,

F_A-\mu mg=ma

\dfrac{F_A-\mu mg}{m}=a

a=\dfrac{1000-0.5(1000)(9.81)}{1000}

a=-3.905\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the car is -3.905\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

barxatty [35]
The amplitude did not change when the recurrence was expanded on the grounds that the long headstrong time of the heart forestalls adjustment. It is the most extreme removal or separation moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its balance position. It is equivalent to the one-a large portion of the length of the vibration way.
