Answer:

D

Explanation:

When the spring is wound, then it gathers potential energy in the form of tension energy. As it slowly unwinds, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy of the hands' movements of the clock. This energy is channeled through the use of cogs/gears in the clock.

A ball has a mass of 2 kg and is thrown with a force of 8 Newtons for .35 seconds. What is the ball's change in
Anna [14]

Answer:

1.4s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of ball  = 2kg

Force  = 8N

Time  = 0.35s

Unknown:

Change in velocity  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression obtained from Newton's second law of motion which is shown below:

      Ft  = m(v  - u)

 So;

         Ft  = m Δv

F is the force

t is the time

m is the mass

Δv is the change in velocity

             8 x 0.35  = 2 x Δv

                  Δv  = 1.4s

What is the speed of an object at rest
sammy [17]
The speed of an object is measured by calculating the distance it travels per unit time.
The formula in Physics for calculating speed is = distance/ time.

Since an object at rest is not covering any distance, the speed is always assumed to be 0 m/s.

What is the difference between chemical change and a physical change?
NeX [460]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are several differences between a physical and chemical change in matter or substances. A physical change in a substance doesn't change what the substance is. In a chemical change where there is a chemical reaction, a new substance is formed and energy is either given off or absorbed.

(A) how much work is done when you push a crate horizontally with 100 N across a 10-m factory floor?
Mila [183]

Answer:

A) 1000 joules

Explanation:

In general work is given by the equation:

W=\intop_{a}^{b}\overrightarrow{F}\cdot d\overrightarrow{s} (1)

A) With \overrightarrow{s} the displacement and \overrightarrow{F} the force applied, because the force and the displacement are parallel (the crate is pushed horizontally) \overrightarrow{F}\cdot d\overrightarrow{s} is simply F\,ds, and because the path is a straight line and the force is constant work is:

W=FS (2),

W=(100)(10)=1000\,J

B) The work-energy theorem says that the total work on a body is equal to the change on kinetic energy:

W_{tot}=\varDelta K (3)

The total work on the crate is the work done by the push and plus the work of the friction W_{tot}=W + W_{f} (4) , as (A) because forces are parallel to the displacement W= FS (5) and W_{f}=-fS (6), the due friction always has negative sign because is opposite to the displacement, using (6), (5) and (4) on (3):

FS-fS=\varDelta K (3)

1000-(70)(10)=300\,J

C) The energy is lost by friction, so the amount of energy turned into heat is the work the friction does:

Q=fS=(70)(100)=700\,J (3)
