Answer:

Energy due to air resistance = 31.8 Joules

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another

Kinetic Energy + Energy due to air resistance = Potential energy..........(1)

If there is no energy loss due to air resistance, potential energy = kinetic energy

mass, m = 1.5 kg

height, h = 4.0 m

speed, v = 6 m/s

Kinetic energy = 0.5 mv²

Kinetic energy = 0.5 * 1.5 * 6²

Kinetic energy = 27 Joules

Potential Energy = mgh

Potential energy = 1.5 * 9.8 * 4

Potential energy = 58.8 Joules

From equation (1)

27 + Energy due to air resistance = 58.8

Energy due to air resistance = 58.8 - 27

Energy due to air resistance = 31.8 Joules

Answer:

Explanation:

Note:

Air resistance in the way means not all of the potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy.

Given:

Mass = 1.5 kg

D = 4 m

Vf = 6 m/s

Energy + KE = PE

= (M × g × d) - (1/2 × M × V^2)

= (1.5 × 9.8 × 4) - (1/2 × 1.5 × 6^2)

= 58.8 - 27

= 31.8 J

A temperature of 200 degrees F is equivalent to approximately
Ann [662]
(1) Changing Fahrenheit to Celsius:
The formula used to convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius is as follows:
C = <span>(F - 32) * 5/9
</span>We are given that F=200, substitute in the above formula to get the corresponding temperature in Celsius as follows:
C = (200-32) * (5/9) = 93.333334 degrees Celsius

(2) Changing the Fahrenheit to kelvin:
The formula used to convert from Fahrenheit to kelvin is as follows:
K = <span>(F - 32) * 5/9 + 273.15
</span>We are given that F = 200. substitute in the above formula to get the corresponding temperature in kelvin as follows:
K = (200-32)*(5/9) + 273.15 = 366.483334 degrees kelvin

How much time is needed to produce 720 Joules of work if 90 watts of power is used?
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

8 seconds

Explanation:

power (P) is defined as the rate at which work is done.

power is measured in Watts (W) , when the work done is measured in Joules (J) and time in seconds

by the definition of power,

Power=\frac{work.done}{time.taken} \\ \\ time.taken=\frac{work.done}{power}\\=\frac{720J }{90W} \\ \\ =8 s

Robert has just bought a new model roket, and is trying to measure its flight characteristics. The rocket engine package claims
rewona [7]
At the peak of its flight ALL the energy given to the rocket is potential energy (its velocity is zero) and that is calculated as mgh So Energy given to rocket = mgh Energy expended by engine = F x D (D= height where engine stops) Energy 'lost' to drag is the difference between the two values. please if this helped mark it as the brainiest answer.
