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

Explain, using the kinetic theory of matter, why liquids and solids are more denser than gases

AlekseyPX

Solid and liquids are much more denser than gas because their molecules are close to each other and with that the molecules of them can't move that freely unlike the gas molecules. Also, because of being near to each other the molecules of solid and liquids became heavy making them dense.

Need help in knowing what energy it’s using

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

8:P.E,9:gaining K.E,10:P.E,11:gaining K.E.

Explanation:

it gained potential energy at 8 because it was at its maximum height,and since potential energy is the energy that u posses due to ur height,thats the energy it possesed on the spot 8.as you can see on spot 9 its moving down so as its moving down,it gains kinetic energy,since its an energy possesed by a body due to its motion/movement,thats what it gained at spot 9, it gsained kineti energy because of its movement.and at 10 agian it would gain potential energy ecause of height and on point 11 as its heading upwards it gains kinetic energy because of movement.

Who makes sure that planes fly in and out of airports safely and do not run into each other in the skies?

larisa [96]

The correct answer to this is:

“Air traffic controllers”

These people are the personnel who is responsible for the safety, orderly, and swift flow of planes flying in and out of airports using the global air traffic control system. They are generally stationed in air traffic control centers and control towers on the airport ground. They monitor the position, speed, and elevation of aircraft in their designated airspace visually and by radar, and give directions to the pilots by radio.

Pls help with these two last questions

zhenek [66]

Answer:

F = 50[N], to the left.

v = 10.52 [m/s]

Explanation:

First problem

In order to solve this problem we must apply Newton's laws, in such a way that we must perform a summation of forces on the horizontal axis. In this way we will analyze each force and the direction of action.

The offensive player is applying a force of 100N to the right, while the defensive player applies a force of 150N to the left. In this way performing the summation of forces we have.

100 - 150 = F

F = - 50 [N]

Note: The negative sign indicates that the resulting force is to the left.

Second problem

We must remember that the definition of speed is equal to the relationship between distance over time.

x = distance = 100 [m]

t = time = 9.5 [s]

v = x/t

v = 100/9.5

v = 10.52 [m/s]

Please help 50 points

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

3a 0.7m/s

3b partially inelastic

4a 8.33 m/s

4b completely inelastic

5. puck: 10.59 m/s octopus: 10.59m/s

6. car: 117.44 m/s truck: 17.44m/s

7a - 1 m/s , the red cart travels to the left

7b) elastic

Explanation:

For all these questions, you have find momentum (P=mv) always remember initial P is always equal to final P

Initial P:

mass of first ball x velocity of first ball + mass of second ball x velocity of second ball

0.5*3.5 + 0.5*0 = 1.75 kg.m/s

final P: also 1.75Kg.m/s

let x be the velocity for first ball

0.5*2.8+0.5*x=1.75

0.5x=1.75-1.4

x=0.35/0.5

x=0.7m/s

b) collision is elastic when KEi = KEf, so calculate and see if that's true

using 1/2mv² we know KEi does not equal to KEf

so the collision is partially inelastic, partially because the ball did not stick together

Initial P:

2575*11 + 825*0 = 28,325 kg.m/s

final P: also 28,325 Kg.m/s

let x be the velocity for both vehicles

(2575+825)x=28325

x=28325/3400

x=8.33 m/s

b) collision is elastic when KEi = KEf, so calculate and see if that's true

using 1/2mv² we know KEi does not equal to KEf

so the collision is completely inelastic, completely because the vechicles slides off together

Initial P:

0.115*35 + 0.265*0 = 4.025 kg.m/s

final P: also 4.025Kg.m/s

since they slides off together, the velocity will be the same, so let x be the velocity for the puck and octopus,

(0.115+0.265)x=4.025

x=4.025/0.38

x=10.59

6. Initial P:

565*25+785*12 = 23,545 kg.m/s

final P: also 23,545 Kg.m/s

since they slides off together, the velocity will be the same, so let x be the velocity for the car and truck,

(565+785)x=23545

x=23545/1350

x=17.44

Initial P:

0.25*2 + 0.75*0 = 0.5 kg.m/s

final P: also 0.5 Kg.m/s

let x be the velocity for red cart

0.75*1+0.25*x=0.5

0.25x=0.5-0.75

x=-0.25/0.25

x=-1m/s

b) collision is elastic when KEi = KEf, so calculate and see if that's true

using 1/2mv² we know KEi equals to KEf

so the collision is elastic
