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.

Answer:

C = 1.01

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 75 kg

The terminal velocity of the mass, $v_t=60\ m/s$

Area of cross section, $A=0.33\ m^2$

We need to find the drag coefficient. At terminal velocity, the weight is balanced by the drag on the object. So,

Weight of the object = drag force

R = W

$\dfrac{1}{2}\rho CAv_t^2=mg$

Where

$\rho$ is the density of air = 1.225 kg/m³

C is drag coefficient

So,

$C=\dfrac{2mg}{\rho Av_t^2}\\\\C=\dfrac{2\times 75\times 9.8}{1.225\times 0.33\times (60)^2}\\\\C=1.01$

So, the drag coefficient is 1.01.

Lake point tower in chicago is the tallest apartment building in the united states. suppose you take the elevator from street le

notka56 [123]

Using the idea of work done under gravity, the height of the building is 187 m.

<h3>Work done in a gravitational field</h3>

We must recall that the work done in a gravitational field is given by; mgh

m= mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

mass = 60.0 kg

Workdone = 1.15x10^5 J

W = mgh

h = W/mg

h = 1.15x10^5 J/60.0 kg * 9.8 ms-2

h = 187 m

A diffraction grating produces a first-order bright fringe that is 0.18 m away from the central bright fringe on a flat screen.

Georgia [21]

Answer:

The wavelength of the light is 562.5 nm

Solution:

As per the question:

Order, n = 1

Slit separation, d = $2.5\times 10^{- 6}\ m$

Distance from the bright fringe, y = 0.18 m

Distance between the screen and the grating, D = 0.8 m

Now,

We know from the eqn for diffraction:

$n\lambda = dsin\theta$

n = 1

$\lambda = dsin\theta$ (1)

Also,

For very small angle, $\theta$ :

$sin\theta$ ≈ $tan\theta = \frac{y}{D} = \frac{0.18}{0.8} = 0.225$

Using the above value in eqn (1):

$\lambda = 2.5\times 10^{- 6}\times 0.225 = 5.625\times 10^{- 7}\ m = 562.5\ nm$

Electoral punishment is a potential remedy to which of the following problems?

Harman [31]

Answer:

Election manipulation, vote rigging

Explanation:

Electoral fraud is sometimes known as election fraud or election manipulation or vote rigging is illegal in the process of election.

The electoral fraud changes from country to country .

The election process is conducted and supervised by the electoral bodies.

The manipulation of electoral processes and outcomes are also referred to as electoral malpractice.

In India a huge number of electoral malpractices are occurs.

It will happen by elections or candidates with strong criminal background are fighting the elections.
