The law of conservation of energy is a law of science that states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but only changed from one form into another or transferred from one object to another. In my personal opinion, lets think of a example like this water can produce electricity. Water falls from the sky, converting potential energy to kinetic energy. This energy is then used to rotate the turbine of a generator to produce electricity. In this process, the potential energy of water in a dam can be turned into kinetic energy which can then become electric energy.

The total energy of an isolated system remains constant it would be said to be conserved over time. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, instead it transforms from one form to another. Satellites in space and pendulums are examples of conservation of energy.

Question 8

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

It has a mass of 40 kg.

Explanation:

Because Force = mass x Acceleration or F = m a, we could say that the mass is force/acceleration which in your case is 2,400/60 which equals 40 kg.

The area of an equilaterla triangle is increasing at a rate of 5 m^2/hr. find the rate at witch the height is chganging when the

Lena [83]

The rate at which the height is changing is ( 5 / x ) m / hr

We know that,

Area of an equilateral triangle A = $\sqrt{3}$ $x^{2}$ / 4

h = $\sqrt{3}$ x / 2

Where,

x = Side

h = Height

Given that,

dA / dt = 5 $m^{2}$ / hr

h = $\sqrt{3}$ x / 2

Differentiate both sides with respect to t

dh / dt = ( $\sqrt{3}$ / 2 ) ( dx / dt )

dx / dt = ( 2 / $\sqrt{3}$ ) ( dh / dt )

A = $\sqrt{3}$ $x^{2}$ / 4

Differentiate both sides with respect to t

dA / dt = ( $\sqrt{3}$ / 4 ) ( 2x ) ( dx / dt )

5 = ( $\sqrt{3}$ / 4 ) ( 2x ) ( 2 / $\sqrt{3}$ ) ( dh / dt )

dh / dt = ( 5 / x ) m / hr

Rate of change of height is defined as the rate at which height of an object changes with respect to time. It is represented as dh / dt

Therefore, the rate at which the height is changing is ( 5 / x ) m / hr

Bottlenose dolphins use echolocation pulses with a frequency of about 100 kHz, higher than the frequencies used by most bats. Wh

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

1. greater

2. direct

3. smaller

4. inverse

Explanation:

The speed of sound in water is greater than in air; hence for the same frequency the sound wavelength in water is greater than in air (for the given frequency the wavelength is in the direct proportion with the speed of sound).

To "see" an object via the echolocation creature needs to use sound with the wavelength smaller than the size of an object viewed.

That means to "see" objects of the same size dolphin and bat need to use ultrasound of the same wavelength, hence dolphin needs to use higher frequency (for the given speed of sound the wavelength is in inverse proportion with the frequency).
