The law of conservation of energy<span> is a </span>law<span> of science that states that </span>energy<span> cannot be created or destroyed, but only changed from </span>one<span> form into another or transferred from </span>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.<span>

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.

A flat sheet of paper of area 0.365 m2 is oriented so that the normal to the sheet is at an angle of 60 ∘ to a uniform electric
andriy [413]

Answer:

A.) 3.65 N*m²/C B) No C) 0º D) 90º

Explanation:

A) The electric flux, when the electric field is uniform across a gausssian surface, can be calculated as the dot product of the electric field vector, and the vector representing the area of the surface (normal to the surface and directed outward it by convention), as follows:

Flux = E*A*cos φ

where E = 20 N/C, A = 0.365 m², φ = 60º.

Replacing by the values, we can get the value of the electric flux, as follows:

Flux = 20 N/C* 0.365 m²*0.5 = 3.65 N*m²/C

B) While the area remains constant, and doesn't change orientation, the value of the flux will be the same, regardless the shape of the sheet.

C) When the normal to the sheet and the electric field are parallel each other, the surface will intercept the maximum number of field lines, i.e. the flux will be directly E*A*cos 0º = E*A (maximum value possible).

D) When the electric field is tangent to the surface, this means that no field lines will be intercepted by the sheet, so the flux is zero.

In this case, φ = 90º, cos φ = 0

⇒ E*A*cos 90º = E*A*0 = 0

Helen [10]

Answer:

P = 0.25 W

Explanation:

Given that,

The emf of the battry, E = 2 V

The resistance of a bulb, R = 16 ohms

We need to find the power delivered to the bulb. We know that, the formula for the power delivered is given by :

P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}\\\\P=\dfrac{2^2}{16}\\\\=0.25\ W

So, 0.25 W power is delivered to the bulb.

Why might it be necessary to ignore some of the data points just before and just after the collision?
krek1111 [17]
We have no idea. We need to examine the experimental set-up. You've given us no information, except that there may have been some sort of collision.
