Answer:

B, D,E,F

Explanation:

Situations from the list in which mechanical energy is conserved.

Whenever there is friction there is always some loss of energy in the process and hence energy cannot be conserved.

- The Moon orbiting the Earth  (Total energy is remains the same)

- An ice skater gliding along the ice ( smooth surface no friction loss)

- A ball sliding down a friction less hill  ( again friction less process)

- A child swinging on a friction less swing, ignoring air resistance

Out of the options provided, the situations in which mechanical energy is conserved are:

  • The Moon orbiting the Earth
  • An ice skater gliding along the ice
  • A ball sliding down a frictionless hill
  • A child swinging on a frictionless swing, ignoring air resistance

This implies the correct answers are B, D, E, and F.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

B, "As the moon orbiting the earth", its total mechanical energy will be the same because no external forces can act on it whether it moves in an elliptical or circular way.

D, "An ice skater gliding along the ice": the mechanical energy is conserved in this situation since there are no dissipative forces (no friction loss)

E, "A ball sliding down a frictionless hill": mechanical energy is also conserved in this situation because there are no dissipative forces (No friction or air resistance) and it remains constant

F, "A child swinging on a frictionless swing, ignoring air resistance": mechanical energy is also conserved in this situation due to no friction and air resistance.

The law of conservation of mechanical energy suggests that the total amount of mechanical energy, which is the total sum of an object kinetic and potential energy, in a closed system is constant when there are no dissipative forces (friction, air resistance, etc.)

What conversion takes place in a generator?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

B. An electric current into a magnetic field

Explanation:

The generation of electrical power requires relative motion between a magnetic field and a conductor. In a generator, mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy. The electricity produced by most generators is in the form of alternating current.

Describe how one plays Dr.Dogeball​
JulsSmile [24]
•To play Dr. Dodgeball you need to have 2 teams to verse each other.
•Next, select one person from each team to be the doctor (depending on the size of the teams you can have varying amounts of doctors)
•Continue to play dodgeball how you normally would
•When a player gets hit and is “out” they have to sit on the ground and wait for the doctor to “revive them” (this usually requires the doctor dragging,touching, or moving the player that is out to a “revival place” which is usually decided on by the advisor or person in charge.
•Finally, try to get all the doctors and players out from the other team. Get the doctors first, for they cannot revive themselves. Which means the other players are out after they get hit with a ball since the doctors are out. (Some games are played where if all doctors are out the game ends)
Hope this helped! Play on! And plz mark brainliest lol this was long to write :D

A hollow cylinder of mass 2.00 kg, inner radius 0.100 m, and outer radius 0.200 m is free to rotate without friction around a ho
Aneli [31]

Answer:

h=2.86m

Explanation:

In order to give a quick response to this exercise we will use the equations of conservation of kinetic and potential energy, the equation is given by,

\Delta PE_i + \Delta KE_i = \Delta PE_f +\Delta KE_f

There is no kinetic energy in the initial state, nor potential energy in the end,

mgh+0=0+KE_f

In the final kinetic energy, the energy contributed by the Inertia must be considered, as well,

mgh = (\frac{1}{2}mv^2+\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2)

The inertia of the bodies is given by the equation,

I=\frac{m(R_1^2+R^2_2)}{2}

I=\frac{2(0.2^2+0.1^2)}{2}

I=0.05Kgm^2

On the other hand the angular velocity is given by

\omega =\frac{v}{R_2}=\frac{4}{1/5} = 2rad/s

Replacing these values in the equation,

(0.5)(9.8)(h) =\frac{1}{2}*0.5*4^2+\frac{1}{2}*0.05*20^2

Solving for h,

h=2.86m

A car travels initially at 24 m/s, until it enters the highway. If the car accelerates at 4 m/s^2 for a 96 meters, what is the c
marishachu [46]
  • initial velocity=u=24m/s
  • Acceleration=a=4m/s^2
  • Distance=s=96m
  • Final velocity=v

Using 3rd equation of kinematics

\boxed{\Large{\sf v^2-u^2=2as}}

\\ \Large\sf\longmapsto v^2=u^2+2as

\\ \Large\sf\longmapsto v^2=24^2+2(4)(96)

\\ \Large\sf\longmapsto v^2=576+768

\\ \Large\sf\longmapsto v^2=1344

\\ \Large\sf\longmapsto v=\sqrt{1344}

\\ \Large\sf\longmapsto v=36.6m/s

Two point charges of equal magnitude q are held a distance d apart. Consider only points on the line passing through both charge
NemiM [27]

let us consider that the two charges are of opposite nature .hence they will constitute a dipole .the separation distance is given as d and magnitude of each charges is q.

the mathematical formula for potential is V=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon} \frac{q}{d}

for positive charges the potential is positive and is negative for negative charges.

the formula for electric field is given as-E=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon} \frac{q}{r^2}

for positive charges,the line filed is away from it and for negative charges the filed is towards it.

we know that on equitorial line the potential is zero.hence all the points situated on the line passing through centre of the dipole and perpendicular to the dipole length is zero.

here the net electric field due to the dipole can not be zero  between the two charges,but we can find the points situated on the axial  line but  outside of charges where the electric field is zero.

now let the two charges of same nature.let these are positively charged.

here we can not find a point between two charges and on the line joining  two charges  where the potential is zero.

but at the mid point of the line joining two charges the filed is zero.
