Elastic potential energy. When you stretch a rubber band it has the "potential" to do work, to fly in a given direction. In doing so it changes it's elastic potential energy to kinetic energy.

ListenA bicycle and its rider have a combined mass of 80. kilograms and a speed of 6.0 meters per second. What is the magnitude

Setler [38]

Answer:

a) $1.2\times 10^2\ N$

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

a = Acceleration

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0-6}{4}\\\Rightarrow a=-1.5\ m/s^2$

The acceleration of the bicycle and rider is -1.5 m/s²

Force

$F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=80\times -1.5\\\Rightarrow F=-120\ N=-1.2\times 10^2\ N$

The magnitude of the average force needed to bring the bicycle and its rider to a stop is $1.2\times 10^2\ N$

Answer:

1.99 parsecs.

Explanation:

We have been given that the most recently discovered system close to Earth is a pair of brown dwarfs known as Luhman 16. It has a distance of 6.5 light-years.

We know that one light year equals to 0.306601 parsecs. To convert 6.5 light-years to parsecs, we will multiply 0.306601 by 6.5.

$6.5\text{ Light-years}=6.5\times 0.306601\text{ Parsecs}$

$6.5\text{ Light-years}=1.9929065\text{ Parsecs}$

$6.5\text{ Light-years}\approx 1.99\text{ Parsecs}$

Therefore, Luhman 16 is approximately 1.99 parsecs away from the Earth.

Vinvika [58]

The Nebular Hypothesis is the most accepted explanation of the origin of our solar system. It states that the Sun was formed by a massive cloud of dust and gas light-years across, and it was bigger than the actual sun itself. Most of the mass in the center formed the sun, and the rest expanded outward.

Imani stirs a cup of hot sencha tea with a cool silver spoon. She notices that the silver spoon becomes warmer. What energy chan

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

D. The tea loses heat to the spoon causing the spoon to become warmer

Explanation:

When the silver spoon at a lower temperature than the tea, is added to the tea, it makes thermal contact. Hence, the heat transfer starts between the two until the equilibrium is reached. We know that the heat transfer takes place from the body with a higher temperature to a body with a lower temperature. As a result, the body with higher temperature loses heat and its temperature lowers down. While the body with a lower temperature gains heat and its temperature rises.

Therefore, the correct option is:

<u>D. The tea loses heat to the spoon causing the spoon to become warmer</u>

A red blood cell is 7 x 10-6 m in size. This means it is 7 __________ in size. What unit completes the sentence?

aalyn [17]

If a red blood cell is 7 x $10^-^6$ m in size, it means that such a cell is 7 microns or micrometer in size. The unit that completes the sentence will, thus, be microns or micrometer.

According to international system of measurement:

$10^{-1}$ m = decimeter

$10^{-2}$ m = centimeter

$10^{-3}$ m = millimeter
$10^{-6}$ m = micrometer or micron
$10^{-9}$ m = nanometer

Thus, a measurement of 7 x $10^-^6$ m is the same is 7 micons or 7 micrometer.
