Answer:

Kinetic energy : "It is the energy possessed by body by virtue of its motion" .

Explanation:

The mechanical energy is the energy that a body has due to its motion or position .

It is of two types :

Potential energy
Kinetic energy

Potential energy

"It is the energy that a body has due to its position or state" .

It is given by P.E=mgh

Kinetic energy

"It is the energy that a body has due to its motion" .

The formula is : K.E=1/2mv².

For example

A ball is placed on table .
At that time it has potential energy .
Now,lets say that we push it and it drops down .
On doing this ,the potential energy of ball gets converted into kinetic energy(because it comes in motion ) and as soon as it touches the ground it stops and its kinetic energy gets converted into Potential energy again .

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

the theoretical maximum energy in kWh that can be recovered during this interval is 0.136 kWh

Explanation:

Given that;

weight of vehicle = 4000 lbs

we know that 1 kg = 2.20462

m = 4000 / 2.20462 = 1814.37 kg

Initial velocity $V_{i}$ = 60 mph = 26.8224 m/s

Final velocity $V_{f}$ = 30 mph = 13.4112 m/s

now we determine change in kinetic energy

Δk = $\frac{1}{2}$ m( $V_{i}$ ² - $V_{f}$ ² )

we substitute

Δk = $\frac{1}{2}$ ×1814.37( (26.8224)² - (13.4112)² )

Δk = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 1814.37 × 539.5808

Δk = 489500 Joules

we know that; 1 kilowatt hour = 3.6 × 10⁶ Joule

Δk = 489500 / 3.6 × 10⁶

Δk = 0.13597 ≈ 0.136 kWh

Therefore, the theoretical maximum energy in kWh that can be recovered during this interval is 0.136 kWh

A 500 W immersion heater is placed in a pot containing 1.00 L of water at 20oC. (a) How long will the water take to rise to the

tatiyna

Answer:

96 s.

Explanation:

(a)

From the question,

Q = cm(t₂-t₁)................... Equation 1

Where Q = heat required to boil the water, c = specific heat capacity of the water, m = mass of the water, t₂ = final temperature of water, t₁ = initial temperature of water

Note: The boiling point of water = 100 °C

Given: c = 4200 J/kg.°C, t₂ = 100 °C, t₁ = 20 °C

mass of water = density×volume

m = D×v, Where D = 1000 kg/m³, v = 1.00 L = 0.001 m³

Hence, m = 1000×0.001 = 1 kg.

Substitute into equation 1

Q = 4200×1(100-20)

Q = 4200×8

Q = 33600 J.

But,

P = Q/t................... Equation 2

make t the subject of the equation

t = Q/P................. Equation 3

Where P = power, t = time

From the question,

70 % of the available energy is absorbed by water.

P = 0.7×500 = 350 W.

Substitute into equation 2

t = 33600/350

t = 96 s.

What are the physics terms behind watching TV?

GalinKa [24]

Everyone knows that one of their favorite past times is sitting in front of the television and watching movies, shows, or playing video games. However with this almost motionless, lazy activity comes a great deal of static physics and mechanics.

When you are sitting down enjoying whatever show it is you may be watching, you actually have several forces acting on you concurrently. For example, by sitting on the couch with no extra weight on you, your weight is equivalent to the normal force, or the force of the couch on you. In addition to the force of the couch of you, if you are leaning on an arm or laying down, a similar force acts on you, except at an angle or incline. The general rule for laying on the couch watching television is that whatever force you exert on an object, that object exerts the same force in the opposite direction, or 180 degrees around.
