The formula of net Force is:F = mawhere m is the mass of the objecta is the acceleration of the object
thus, if we triple the net force applied to the object:
3F = maa = 3F / m
The acceleration is also tripled since the force is directly proportional to the acceleration.
Answer:
.
Explanation:
Assume that his calorimeter is sufficiently effective, such that no heat had escaped to the surroundings. Heat from this solution would be absorbed by either
- the solution, or
- the coffee cup.
Temperature change:
.
<h3>Heat absorbed by the solution:</h3>
Only the specific heat capacity (per unit mass) of the solution is given. Both the mass of the solution and the temperature change will be required for determining the energy change. Start by finding the mass of the solution.
.
Calculate the amount of heat absorbed from the specific heat:
.
<h3>Heat absorbed by the coffee cup:</h3>
The heat capacity of the coffee cup is given. Only the temperature change will be required for finding the amount of heat absorbed.
.
<h3>Heat that this reaction produces</h3>
Find the sum of the two parts of heat. Round to three significant figures as in the heat capacity of the coffee cup and the density of the solution.

Mechanical energy is commonly referred to as "the ability to do work." This is a somewhat inaccurate (though still useful) idea of it, as I'll describe.
Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy (energy associated with motion) and potential energy (energy associated with position). Technically speaking, heat energy (the most common example of non-mechanical energy) is small-scale kinetic energy, but for macroscopic systems, this energy is not mechanical. Although it has the ability to do work, it is small-scale and thus not considered "mechanical."
As far as how mechanical energy is transformed into nonmechanical energy, let me provide a couple of examples:
One is the classic example of friction. When two surfaces rub together, they generate thermal energy, or heat. This is a transformation of the mechanical kinetic energy of the objects into the thermal non-mechanical energy (which is small-scale kinetic energy). This is the primary reason why there are no perfect machines--some energy is always lost as heat due to friction.
Another example is a small electric generator. Rotating a small circuit in a magnetic field will induce a voltage and generate electrical non-mechanical energy. This is a transformation of the kinetic energy associated with the rotation into electrical energy.
The primary difference between mechanical energy and non-mechanical energy is the scope. Mechanical energy is generally associated with macroscopic objects (like water wheels), while non-mechanical energy is generally on the sub-microscopic scale (the kinetic energy of individual atoms). Both can do work, though working with mechanical energy is generally more helpful than trying to work with non-mechanical energy.
