Choose the sequence of energy forms that best fits each item.
levacccp [35]

Answer:

1. chemical energy --> electrical energy --> light energy

2. Electrical Energy --> Mechanical Energy

3. Electrical Energy --> Heat Energy

4. Chemical Energy --> Thermal Energy  --> Mechanical Energy

5. Nuclear Energy --> Light energy and thermal energy

6. Mechanical Energy --> Electric Energy

7. Chemical Energy --> Electrical Energy --> Sound Energy

8. Mechanical Energy --> Sound Energy

Explanation:

1.<u>FLASHLIGHT</u>:

chemical energy --> electrical energy --> light energy

The chemical energy from the cell batteries is converted to electrical energy, which is used to produce the light energy in form of flashlight.

2.<u>ELECTRIC SAW</u>:

Electrical Energy --> Mechanical Energy

The electrical energy from the socket is converted to the mechanical energy used to run the saw blade.

3.<u>TOASTER</u>:

Electrical Energy --> Heat Energy

The electrical energy from the socket is converted to the heat energy (thermal energy) used in browning the bread.

4.<u>GAS POWERED SCOOTER</u>:

Chemical Energy --> Thermal Energy  --> Mechanical Energy

The chemical energy from fuel, such as petrol is converted to heat (thermal energy) in the engine by the process of combustion. This heat is then used to do work by conversion into mechanical energy, through piston movement, which in turn moves the shaft and the scooter.

5.<u>THE SUN</u>:

Nuclear Energy --> Light energy and thermal energy

The nuclear reactions on Sun provide nuclear energy which is converted into light and thermal energy that reaches us on earth.

6.<u>WIND TURBINE</u>:

Mechanical Energy --> Electric Energy

The mechanical energy is provided by wind when it rotates the blade of turbine. This is then converted to electrical energy b the turbine.

7.<u>IPOD</u>:

Chemical Energy --> Electrical Energy --> Sound Energy

The chemical energy i supplied by the battery of ipod, which is converted to electrical energy and that electrical energy is used to produce sound by ipod.

8.<u>SPEAKER VIBRATES</u>

Mechanical Energy --> Sound Energy

The mechanical energy due to vibration produces sound energy.

A 25.0-N force is applied to a 5.0-kg object to accelerate is rightwards. The object encounters 15.0-N of friction. Determine th
djyliett [7]

Answer: The acelaration is 2 m/s^2

Explanation: Using the second Newton law

The total force acting over the object is equal to the mass x accelaration, that is:

We considerer the applied force to the object equal to 25N

and the friction force of 15 N

25N-15N= m*a

Which of the following is not an example of convection? Warm air rising from heated pavement The rolling motion of boiling water
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer: The handle of a frying pan on the stove

Explanation: Convection is the heat transfer done by the movement of a fluid, or the molecules on it. This can happen by the change on density from fluids, when a fluid tempeture rise, it expands, rising his volumen and decreasing his density. When this happens the fluid becomes lighter, so it moves.

The handle of a frying pan gets hotter but no molecular movement is done. It is between the same material there is a energy transfer from the source to the rest of the pan. This is called Conduction.

An object is thrown downward from the top of a 175 meter building with an initial speed of 10m/s
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Explanation:

we can look for the final velocity of the object using the eqaution of motion as shown:

v² = u²+2gH

v is the  final velocity

u is the initial velocity = 10m/s

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

H is the height of the object = 175m

Subxtitute the given parameters inti the formula and get v:

v² = 10²+2(9.81)(175)

v² = 100+3433.5

v² = 3533.5

v = √3533.5

v = 59.44m/s

Hence the final velocity of the object is 59.44m/s
