The mechanical energy of a bicycle at the top of a hill is 6,000 J. The bicycle stops at the bottom of the hill by applying the

brakes. If the potential energy of the bicycle is 2,000 J at the bottom of the hill, how much thermal energy was produced?

Answer:

Thermal energy produce =4,000 J.

Explanation:

Given that

Mechanical energy at the top of hill = 6,000 J

Mechanical energy at the bottom of hill = 2,000 J

We know that energy is conserve

Energy at top of hill = energy at bottom of hill + Thermal energy produce

So now by putting the values

Energy at top of hill = energy at bottom of hill + Thermal energy produce

6,000 = 2,000+ Thermal energy produce

Thermal energy produce =6,000-2,000 J

Thermal energy produce =4,000 J.

As we know that thermal energy produce due to friction when one mechanical component slides on the other mechanical component then always heat is generated and this heat is known as thermal energy.

Answer:

t_{out} = $\frac{v_s - v_r}{v_s+v_r}$ t_{in}, t_{out} = $\frac{D}{v_s +v_r}$

Explanation:

This in a relative velocity exercise in one dimension,

let's start with the swimmer going downstream

its speed is

$v_{sg 1} = v_{sr} + v_{rg}$

The subscripts are s for the swimmer, r for the river and g for the Earth

with the velocity constant we can use the relations of uniform motion

$v_{sg1}$ = D / $t_{out}$

D = v_{sg1} t_{out}

now let's analyze when the swimmer turns around and returns to the starting point

$v_{sg 2} = v_{sr} - v_{rg}$

$v_{sg 2}$ = D / $t_{in}$

D = v_{sg 2} t_{in}

with the distance is the same we can equalize

$v_{sg1} t_{out} = v_{sg2} t_{in}$

t_{out} = t_{in}

t_{out} = $\frac{v_s - v_r}{v_s+v_r}$ t_{in}

This must be the answer since the return time is known. If you want to delete this time

t_{in}= D / $v_{sg2}$

we substitute

t_{out} = \frac{v_s - v_r}{v_s+v_r} ()

t_{out} = $\frac{D}{v_s +v_r}$

A particle of charge 2.0 x 10^-8C experiences an upward force of magnitude 4.0 x10^-6 when it is placed in a particular point in

koban [17]

Answer:

a) The electric field at that point is $2.0\times 10^{2}$ newtons per coulomb.

b) The electric force is $2.0\times 10^{-6}$ newtons.

Explanation:

a) Let suppose that electric field is uniform, then the following electric field can be applied:

$E = \frac{F_{e}}{q}$ (1)

Where:

$E$ - Electric field, measured in newtons per coulomb.

$F_{e}$ - Electric force, measured in newtons.

$q$ - Electric charge, measured in coulombs.

If we know that $F_{e} = 4.0\times 10^{-6}\,N$ and $q = 2.0\times 10^{-8}\,C$ , then the electric field at that point is:

$E = \frac{4.0\times 10^{-6}\,N}{2.0\times 10^{-8}\,C}$

$E = 2.0\times 10^{2}\,\frac{N}{C}$

The electric field at that point is $2.0\times 10^{2}$ newtons per coulomb.

b) If we know that $E = 2.0\times 10^{2}\,\frac{N}{C}$ and $q = 1.0\times 10^{-8}\,C$ , then the electric force is:

$F_{e} = E\cdot q$

$F_{e} = \left(2.0\times 10^{2}\,\frac{N}{C} \right)\cdot (1.0\times 10^{-8}\,C)$

$F_{e} = 2.0\times 10^{-6}\,N$

The electric force is $2.0\times 10^{-6}$ newtons.

Water at the top of a slope has potential energy. true or false

ASHA 777 [7]

<span>The statement is TRUE. Water does have potential energy at the top of a slope. The reason why is that potential energy is energy possessed by a body based on its position relative to a zero point. In this case, water at the top of the slope is at an elevation above ground (zero point). The energy is not kinetic (moving) energy since the water is not moving.</span>
