Use the conservation of momentum formula: m1v1 + m2v2 = v(m1 + m2)
(0.005kg)(250m/s) + (12kg)(0m/s) = v(0.005kg + 12kg)
v = ((0.005kg)(250m/s)) / (0.005kg + 12kg)
v = 0.104 m/s
Answer:
Electrical energy to thermal energy
Explanation:
The form of energy transforms to what other form when you turn on a steam iron is the conversion of Electrical energy to thermal energy
Based on Newton's second law:
Force = mass x acceleration
For this problem: we have the mass = 1232 kg and the acceleration = 2 m/s^2
So, just substitute with the givens in the above equation to calculate the force as follows:
Force = 1232 x 2 = 2464 Newtons
