Answer:

Small tracks of water are left on the ice as kinetic energy is transformed into thermal energy

Explanation:

Here when we see the evidence of energy transformation then we can say that when skater glides over the surface of ice then due to friction between the skates and the ice surface it generates heat

Due to this heat few of the ice will melt down and it converts into water

So here the energy transformation is in following way

first kinetic energy of the skater will convert into frictional work done

this frictional work will generate heat

due to heat it will convert the ice into water

so correct answer will be

Small tracks of water are left on the ice as kinetic energy is transformed into thermal energy

An airplane is flying from Dallas, Texas to Pensacola, Florida. Flying at maximum velocity, it encounters strong winds moving at

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

G. It will take twice as long.

Explanation:

Let's call $v$ the original speed of the plane and $d$ the distance between Dallas and Pensacola. The time the plane originally takes to complete the flight is

$t=\frac{d}{v}$

In this problem, we are told that the plane encounters wind moving at half of its speed: $\frac{v}{2}$ , in the opposite direction. This means that the new speed of the plane is

$v'=v-\frac{v}{2}=\frac{v}{2}$

And so, the time the plane takes now to complete the flight is

$t'=\frac{d}{v/2}=2\frac{d}{v}=2t$

So, the plane takes twice the time as before.

a 3520 kg truck moving north at 18.5 m/s makes an INELASTIC collision with an 1480 kg car moving east after colliding they have

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

An inelastic collision is one where 2 masses collide and stick together, moving as a single mass after the collision occurs. When we talk about this type of momentum conservation, the momentum is conserved always, but the kinetic momentum is not (the velocity changes when they collide). Because there is direction involved here, we use vector addition. The picture before the collision has the truck at a mass of 3520 kg moving north at a velocity of 18.5. The truck's momentum, then, is 3520(18.5) = 65100 kgm/s; coming at this truck is a car of mass 1480 kg traveling east at an unknown velocity. The car's momentum, then, is 1480v. The resulting vector (found when you pick up the car vector and stick the initial end of it to the terminal end of the truck's momentum vector) forms the hypotenuse of a right triangle where one leg is 65100 kgm/s, and the other leg is 1480v. Since we already know the final velocity of the 2 masses after the collision, we can use that to find the final momentum, which will serve as the resultant momentum vector in our equation (we'll get there in a sec). The final momentum of this collision is

p = mv and

p = (3520 + 1480)(13.6) so

p = 68000. Final momentum. The equation for this is a take-off of Pythagorean's Theorem and the one used to find the final magnitude of a resultant vector when you first began your vector math in physics. The equation is

$p_f=\sqrt{(p_{truck})^2+(p_{car})^2}$ which, in words, is
