A car driving down a hill contains many types of energy. DESCRIBE at least 3 types of energy the car has.

1 answer:

8 0

Once the car is on top of the hill it contains potential energy witch means it is storing enough energy to slide the hill until acted on. Once the car moves and slides down the hill it creates kinetic energy witch means it's in motion. The car then turns the kinetic energy into mechanical energy witch means it's working. I'm not sure if that helped but good luck!

At what speed, as a fraction of c , is a particle's total energy twice its rest energy

WINSTONCH [101]

The rest energy of a particle is
$E_0=m_0 c^2$
where $m_0$ is the rest mass of the particle and c is the speed of light.

The total energy of a relativistic particle is
$E=mc^2 = \frac{m_0 c^2}{ \sqrt{1- \frac{v^2}{c^2} } }$
where v is the speed of the particle.

We want the total energy of the particle to be twice its rest energy, so that
$E=2E_0$
which means:
$\frac{m_0c^2}{ \sqrt{1- \frac{v^2}{c^2} } }=2m_0 c^2$
$\frac{1}{ \sqrt{1- \frac{v^2}{c^2} } }=2$
From which we find the ratio between the speed of the particle v and the speed of light c:
$\frac{v}{c}= \sqrt{1- (\frac{1}{2})^2 } =0.87$
So, the particle should travel at 0.87c in order to have its total energy equal to twice its rest energy.

Power is the rate at which energy is transformed. A person is limited in the total work he or she can do only by the total energ

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Power is the rate at which energy is transformed.

The SI unit of power is the watt.

Power is the rate at which work is done.

Explanation:

In this question we have to choose the statements related to Power that are True.

In this sense, Power $P$ is the speed with which work $W$ is done. Its unit is Watts ( $W$ ), being $1 W=\frac{1 Joule}{1 s}$ .

Power is mathematically expressed as:

$P=\frac{W}{t}$

Where $t$ is the time during which work $W$ is performed.

On the other hand, the Work $W$ done by a Force $F$ refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path. It is a scalar magnitude, and its unit in the International System of Units is the Joule (like energy). Therefore, 1 Joule is the work done by a force of 1 Newton when moving an object, in the direction of the force, along 1 meter ( $1J=(1N)(1m)=Nm$ ).

So, according to this explanation, the true statements are:

Power is the rate at which energy is transformed.

The SI unit of power is the watt.

Power is the rate at which work is done.
