A

Water flowing over a tall cliff best shows a change from potential to kinetic energy

Explanation:

At the top of the cliff, the water has potential energy – intrinsic energy of the water due to its  relative position of high elevation. The water has the ability to do work. As the water starts falling down the cliff by gravity, this potential energy is converted to kinetic energy – intrinsic energy due to its motion. The kinetic energy can be harnessed to turn dynamo turbines that convert the kinetic energy to electric energy – this is how hydroelectric power is produced.

A sprinter starts from rest and reaches a speed of 15 m/s in 4.25 s. Find his acceleration
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

a=3.53 m/s^2

Explanation:

Vo=0 m/s (because he is not moving at the start)

V1=15 m/s

t= 4.25 s

a = (V1-Vo) / t = 15/4.25 = 3.53 m/s^2

Why do all planets rotate around the sun in the ssame direction
Nutka1998 [239]
This is because of the conservation of angular momentum, which allows most planets to spin in the same direction, but Venus and Uranus have seem to ignore this as they spin in different directions, as Venus spins clockwise and Uranus is on its side

Only about 50% of the solar energy directed toward Earth penetrates directly to the surface. Explain what happens to the rest of
Tresset [83]

Answer:

it is absorbed or reflected by the atmosphere

Explanation:

In the case when approx 50% only of the solar energy would be directed towards earth and it would be penetrates directly to the surface so the rest or remaining of the radiation would be either absorbed or refected by the atmosphere

So as per the given situation the above represent the answer

hence, the same is to be considered and relevant

Which of these is an example of electrical energy being converted to mechanical energy?
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Ceiling fan

Explanation:

Ceiling fan is a perfect and typical example of electrical energy being converted to mechanical energy.

In most systems, energy is usually transformed from one form to another. Energy is not created neither is it destroyed. We know this by virtue of law of conservation of energy.

  • The ceiling fan is powered by electrical energy from an outlet.
  • The energy from the outlet is used to drive the blades of the fan and set them into motion.
  • This is mechanical energy.

A penny is dropped from the top of a building that is 300.0 m tall. Calculate the speed of the penny as it hits the ground. (met
Sauron [17]

We have the equation of motion s = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2, where s is the displacement, a is the acceleration, u is the initial velocity and t is the time taken.

Here s = 300 m, u = 0 m/s, a = 9.81 m/s^2

Substituting

   300 = 0*t+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*t^2\\ \\ 4.9t^2 = 300\\ \\ t =7.82 seconds

Now we have v = u+at, where v is the final velocity

Here u = 0 m/s, a= 9.81 m/s^2 and t = 7.82 seconds

Substituting

     v = 0+9.8*7.82 = 76.68 m/s

The speed with which the penny strikes the ground = 76.68 m/s.
