Describe the principle of conversation of energy:

Physics
1 answer:
exis [7]4 years ago
7 0

Answer: Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, rather it is converted from one form to another

Explanation:

The principle of conversation of energy explains how energy is conserved in nature by being converted from one form to another such that no energy is created nor destroyed.

Practical examples include:

- electrical pressing iron that converts electrical energy to heat energy

- solar panels that converts solar energy to electrical energy

- Car batteries that converts chemical energy to light energy etc

. A student claims that if lighting strikes a metal flagpole, the force exerted by the Earth’s magnetic field on the current in
Ratling [72]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that, current generated from lightning range from

10⁴ A < I < 10^5 A

We know that,

The magnetic force is given as

F = iLB

The magnetic field on the earth surface is

B = 10^-5 T

So, let assume the worst case of a 15m flag pole

L = 15m

Then,

F = iLB

F = 10^5 × 10 × 10^-5

F = 15 N

Therefore, 15N is fairly strong so it will come to the material that was use for the material of the flag pole.

Therefore, it is possible that the student is right depending on the material of the flag pole.

An object moving 20 m/s
yan [13]

Answer:

<u>We are given:</u>

initial velocity (u) = 20m/s

acceleration (a) = 4 m/s²

time (t) = 8 seconds

displacement (s) = s m

<u />

<u>Solving for Displacement:</u>

From the seconds equation of motion:

s = ut + 1/2 * at²

replacing the variables

s = 20(8) + 1/2 * (4)*(8)*(8)

s = 160 + 128

s = 288 m

To stretch a certain nonlinear spring by an amount x requires a force F given by F = 40 x − 6 x 2 , where F is in Newtons and x
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

64 J

Explanation:

The potential energy change of the spring ∆U = -W where W = work done by force, F.

Now W = ∫F.dx

So, ∆U = - ∫F.dx = - ∫Fdxcos180 (since the spring force and extension are in opposite directions)

∆U = - ∫-Fdx

=  ∫F.dx

Since F = 40x - 6x² and x moves from x = 0 to x = 2 m, we integrate thus, ∆U =  ∫₀²F.dx

=  ∫₀²(40x - 6x²).dx

=  ∫₀²(40xdx - 6x²dx)

=  ∫₀²(40x²/2 - 6x³/3)

=  ∫₀²(20x² - 2x³)

= [20x² - 2x³]₀²

= [(20(2)² - 2(2)³) - (20(0)² - 2(0)³)

= [(20(4) - 2(8)) - (0 - 0))

= [80 - 16 - 0]

= 64 J
