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.

The box leaves position x=0x=0 with speed v0v0. The box is slowed by a constant frictional force until it comes to rest at posit

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Magnitude of the Frictional force = (mv₀²)/2x₁

Explanation:

For the frictional force to stop the box, it has to produce the deceleration of the box; thereby being the opposing force to the box's motion.

According to Newton's first law of motion

Frictional force = (mass of the box) × (deceleration experienced by the box)

Let the mass of the box be m

Then,

Frictional force = ma

Then we can obtain the deceleration using the equations of motion

v² = u² + 2ax

u = Initial velocity = v₀ m/s

v = Final velocity = 0 m/s (since the box comes to rest at the end)

x = horizontal distance covered = (x₁ - x₀) = x₁ (since x₀ = 0)

a = ?

v² = u² + 2ax

0 = (v₀)² + 2ax₁

2ax₁ = - v₀²

a = - (v₀²)/(2x₁) (minus sign, because it's a deceleration)

Magnitude of the Frictional force = ma = (mv₀²)/2x₁

Calculate the hydrostatic difference in blood pressure between the brain and the foot in a person of height 1.93 m. The density

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given: Density of blood = 1.03 × 10³ Kg/m³, Height = 1.93 m g = 9.8 m/s²

pressure at the brain is equal to atmospheric pressure. = Hydro-static

pressure(ρ₀)

∴ pressure of the foot = pressure of the brain(ρ₀) + ( density of blood × acceleration due to gravity × height)(ρgh)

Hydro-static pressure = pressure at the feet- pressure at the brain(ρ₀)

Hydro-static pressure (Δp) = (ρgh + ρ₀) - ρ₀ = ρgh

Hydro-static pressure = 1.03 × 10³ × 9.8 × 1.93 = 1.948 × 10⁴ Pa

∴ Hydro-static pressure ≈ 1.95 × 10⁴ Pa

A proton travels with a speed of 5.02×10⁶ m/s in a direction that makes an angle of 60.0° with the direction of a magnetic ficld

Triss [41]

The magnitude of the magnetic force on the proton is 1.25× 10—¹³ N.

Speed of the proton = 5.02 × 10 ⁶ m /a

Angel of between the velocity and the magnetic force = 60 °

The magnitude of magnetic field B = 0.180 T

The magnitude of the magnetic force on the proton is,

$F = q(v \times B)$

$F = qvB \: sin \: θ$

$F = 1.6 \times 10 ^{ - 19} \times 5.02 \times 10 ^{6} \times 0.180 \times \: sin \: 60°$

$= 1.25 \times 10 ^{ - 13} \: N$

Therefore, the magnitude of the magnetic force on the proton is 1.25× 10—¹³ N.
