Answer:

Energy remain conserved while converting its form from one to another

Explanation:

As per the conservation of energy, energy always changes its form from one form to another and it is neither destroyed nor created. The total amount of energy always remains the same.

There are several forms of energy such as thermal energy, electrical energy, nuclear energy, electromagnetic energy, etc.

For example –

During any chemical reaction, form of one chemical changes into another. In this process some amount of chemical energy remains conserved while the deficit in total starting energy is released as heat and light energy

Answer:

When we burn wood we are releasing solar energy, in the form of heat, that has been stored in the wood as chemical energy. The process of photosynthesis converted solar energy, water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and the organic molecules that form the wood, half the weight of which is carbon.

Why is tornadoes hitting the east coast of the USA?

OLga [1]

Answer:

The outbreak of tornadoes that tore across the Gulf and the East Coast Tuesday and Wednesday was unusual for two reasons. For one thing, the severe weather encompassed a significant swath of the country. For another, winter is the least likely time for tornadic thunderstorms.

Explanation:

And yet tornadoes are an expected part of life in the United States—especially in the multi-state area known as Tornado Alley. (Florida, too, sees a disproportionately high number of tornadoes, because of its frequent thunderstorms.) The United States gets more tornadoes, by far, than any other place on the planet. It averages about 1,250 twisters a year. Canada, which sees about 100 tornadoes per year, is a “distant second,” according to the National Centers for Environmental Information.

Three masses are located in the x- y plane as follows: a mass of 6 kg is at (0 m, 0 m), a mass of 4 kg is at (3 m, 0 m), and a m

enot [183]

Answer:

The center of mass of three mass in the x-y plane is located at (1,0.5).

Explanation:

It is given that, a mass of 6 kg is at (0,0), a mass of 4 kg is at (3,0), and a mass of 2 kg is at (0,3). We need to find the center of mass of the system. Center of mass in x direction is :

$C_x=\dfrac{6\times 0+4\times 3+2\times 0}{6+4+2}\\\\C_x=1$

The center of mass in y direction is :

$C_y=\dfrac{6\times 0+4\times 0+2\times 3}{6+4+2}\\\\C_y=0.5$

So, the center of mass of three mass in the x-y plane is located at (1,0.5).

sammy [17]

Answer:

25 mm = 0 deg C

200 mm = 100 deg C

200 - 25 = 175 = change in thread per 100 deg C

95 - 25 = 70 mm - change in thread from 0 deg C

70 / 175 * 100 = 40 deg C final temperature at 95 mm

When will an object sink in water, according to Archimedes' principle?

inna [77]

Answer:

If the buoyant force is greater than the object's weight, the object will rise to the surface and float. If the buoyant force is less than the object's weight, the object will sink. If the buoyant force equals the object's weight, the object will remain suspended at that depth.

Explanation:

Not much explaining to do here!
