Answer:
It has been converted into thermal energy due to friction
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but only transformed from one form into another.
Applied to this problem, it means that the total initial energy of the spring-toy system must be conserved.
Therefore:
- At the beginning, the total energy stored in the spring is 10 J
- After the toy is released, the total energy must still be 10 J.
In reality, we are told that the kinetic energy of the car is only 8 J. The other 2 J have not been destroyed, but they have been converted into thermal energy, due to the presence of frictional forces that act against the motion of the toy car.
Answer:
41.8m/s^2
Explanation:
Since the dragster starts from rest, initial velocity (u) = 0m/s, final velocity (v) = 25.9m/s, time (t) = 0.62s
From the equations of motion, v = u + at
a = (v - u)/t = (25.9 - 0)/0.62 = 25.9/0.62 = 41.8m/s^2
Answer:
A capon (from Latin: caponem) is a cockerel (rooster) that has been castrated or neutered, either physically or chemically, to improve the quality of its flesh for food, and, in some countries like Spain, fattened by forced feeding.
Explanation:
Answer:
612000 C
Explanation:
Current, I, is given as the rate of flow of charge, that is:
I = Δq / Δt
where q = electric charge
t = time taken
This implies that:
Δq = I * Δt
The battery rating is 170 Ampere-hours, therefore:
Δq = 170 * 1 hour
But 1 hour = 3600 seconds;
=> Δq = 170 * 3600 = 612000 C
The total charge that the battery can provide is 612000 C.
