Answer:

0.147 J

Explanation:

The total energy that has been transformed into thermal energy is equal to the loss of gravitational potential energy between the initial situation (bob at h=0.5 m above the ground) and the final situation (bob back but at h=0.45 m above the ground).

Therefore, we have

E_{thermal}=\Delta U=mgh_1 - mgh_2 = mg(h_1 -h_2)

where

m = 0.3 kg is the mass of the bob

g = 9.8 m/s^2

h1 = 0.5 m is the initial height

h2 = 0.45 m is the final height

Substituting, we find the thermal energy

E_{thermal}=(0.3 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.5 m-0.45 m)=0.147 J

Therefore, the energy transformed into thermal energy is 0.147 J.

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP I REALLY NEED HELP!!!!!!
Andrews [41]

Answer:

In thermodynamics, heat is transferred energy that moves between substances or systems because of their temperature difference. According to the first law of thermodynamic and the law of energy conversion s a form of energy, heat is cannot be created or destroyed only moves from one form to other.

The stone gets heat energy from fire and moves this heat energy or thermal energy to water as it cools off and the water warms up. Heat moves or is transferred spontaneously from the hot stone into the cold water. Eventually, the stone and water have the same temperature and water becomes heated. At the time of heat flowing out of the stone into the water, the heat energy became less ordered, due to spreading out through both the stone and the water. This is a net increase in entropy which is the second law of entropy.

Two positive charges are equal. Which has more electric potential energy?
Xelga [282]

Electrostatic potential energy of a system of charge is given by

U = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r}

here we have

q_1,q_2 = two charges of different magnitudes

r = distance between charges

so here we can see that electrostatic potential energy will depends upon the product of two charges and inversely depends upon the distance between the two charges

So here we can say that the electrostatic potential energy of two charges will be same and equal to each other

An object in a fluid experiences a buoyant force from the fluid. If the object is completely immersed, on which does the magnitu
loris [4]

Answer:

Weight of the fluid that the object displaces.

Explanation:

When the fluid is completely immersed in a fluid, it experiences pressure from all the direction. While the object is immersed in the fluid a force acts on it in the opposite direction, i.e., upwards. This force is termed as buoyant force.

Also, as per the Archimedes' Principle, the force experience by the object is the same as the weight of the fluid that gets displaced by the object.

Thus on complete immersion of the object in the fluid, it experiences the force same as the weight of the fluid that gets displaced
