Answer:

An example of kinetic energy is a car coming to a stop

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy that a body or system possesses due to its movement. In physics this energy is defined as the amount of work necessary to accelerate a body of a certain mass and in rest position, until reaching a certain speed. This energy obtained will remain unchanged as long as this body does not vary its speed. That is, kinetic energy measures how many changes an object that is moving can cause.

An example of kinetic energy is a car coming to a stop. If the car is moving and comes to a stop, there is a change in speed, therefore in movement, eventually producing a change in kinetic energy. This energy depends on the mass of the body, in this case the car, and the speed. As the speed decreases, the kinetic energy will decrease.

A worker lifts a 20.0-kg bucket of concrete from the ground up to the top of a 25.0-m tall building. The bucket is initially at

yuradex [85]

Answer:

Minimum work = 5060 J

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the bucket (m) = 20.0 kg

Initial speed of the bucket (u) = 0 m/s

Final speed of the bucket (v) = 4.0 m/s

Displacement of the bucket (h) = 25.0 m

Let 'W' be the work done by the worker in lifting the bucket.

So, we know from work-energy theorem that, work done by a force is equal to the change in the mechanical energy of the system.

Change in mechanical energy is equal to the sum of change in potential energy and kinetic energy. Therefore,

$\Delta E=\Delta U+\Delta K\\\\\Delta E= mgh+\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)$

Therefore, the work done by the worker in lifting the bucket is given as:

$W=\Delta E\\\\W=mgh+\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)$

Now, plug in the values given and solve for 'W'. This gives,

$W=(20\ kg)(9.8\ m/s^2)(25\ m)+\frac{1}{2}(20\ kg)(4^2-0^2)\ m^2/s^2\\\\W=4900\ J +160\ J\\\\W=5060\ J$

Therefore, the minimum work that the worker did in lifting the bucket is 5060 J.

Ways we can reducing Surface Tension

valina [46]

Surface tension can change with the change in a medium that is just above the layer of the liquid's surface.

Explanation:

Pouring any oil or oily compounds (such as kerosene) on the free surface of the water will reduce the surface tension.

in the atmosphere directly affects the surface tension of the liquid.

If we increase the temperature of the water, then there is a high possibility of the surface tension of the water getting reduced, due to the fact that the net force of attraction is decreased.

Mixing surfactants or emulsifiers into the water will decrease the surface tension.

If the water is subjected to electrification, then the surface tension will be reduced.
