Answer:

KE = 65 J (The potential energy stored in the stretched bow is converted to kinetic energy of the moving bow)

Explanation:

Law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but transferred from one form to another. In other words, the total energy of the system at any point is always a constant.

Now, when the bow is in stretched position, the energy associated with the stretched bow is potential energy (PE).

The energy associated with motion of the body is kinetic energy (KE).

So, the stretched bow is not moving. So, KE at the start is 0.

Therefore, total energy initially is given as:

Initial total energy = PE + KE = PE + 0 = 65 J

Now, when the bow is shot, the bow is in motion. So, the total energy of the bow is only due to kinetic energy associated with it now. Also, the potential energy of a moving bow is 0.

Therefore, final total energy is given as:

Final total energy = Final KE + Final PE = Final KE + 0 = Final KE

Now, we know, from conservation of energy,

Initial total energy = Final total energy

⇒ 65 J = KE

or Final KE = 65 J

Therefore, the KE of an arrow having a PE of 65J after it is shot from a bow is 65 J.

Hence, the potential energy stored in the stretched bow is converted to kinetic energy of the moving bow.

An 8.00- W resistor is dissipating 100 watts. What are the current through it and the difference of potential across it?
hjlf

Answer:

I= 3.5 amps

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

rating of resistor R= 8 ohms

power P= 100W

Required

The current I

Step two

Yet this power is also given by

P = I^2R

make I subject of the formula we have

I= \sqrt{\frac{P}{R} }

substitute

I= \sqrt{\frac{100}{8} }\\\\I=\sqrt{12.5}\\\\I= 3.5 amps

What is the acceleration of the box?
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

a=4,32m/s^2

Explanation:

Fnet = F1 - F2

= 12-1.2

= 10.8N

m=2.5kg

Fnet =ma

10.8=2.5a then divide both sides by 2.5 to get acceleration

Two of the three tuning forks have known frequencies. When a 610 Hz fork and the unknown fork are struck together, four beats pe
RUDIKE [14]

-- In combination with 610 Hz, the beat frequency is 4 Hz.

So the unknown frequency is either (610+4) = 614 Hz
or else (610-4) = 606 Hz.

In combination with 605 Hz, the beat frequency will be
either (614-605) = 9 Hz or else (606-605) = 1 Hz.

-- In actuality, when combined with the 605 Hz, the beat
frequency is too high to count accurately.  That must be
the 9 Hz rather than the 1 Hz.

So the unknown is (605+9) = 614 Hz.
