Which of these statements best represents the law of conservation of energy

Physics

Shkiper50 [21]3 years ago
5 0

Energy cannot be created or destroyed. This statement is known as law of conservation of energy, and it implies that whenever a certain form of energy does change, the loss of this form of energy must have converted into an another type of energy. A typical example is an object falling to the ground: initially, the object has gravitational potential energy. As the object falls down, it loses potential energy (since its altitude from the ground decreases), but it acquires kinetic energy (because its velocity increases). In this example, potential energy has converted into kinetic energy, but the total energy of the object has remained constant.

Ivanshal [37]
To calculate the ideal mechanical advantage of a lever divide the input arm by the output arm. 
Mechanical advantage is the amount by which a machine can multiply an input force, calculated by dividing output Force in newtons by input force in newtons, while the ideal mechanical advantage is the mechanical advantage of a machine that has no friction, calculated by dividing the input distance by the output distance.

Give two mathematical examples of Newton's third law and how you get the solution​
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

1) Any particle moving in a horizontal plane slowed by friction, deceleration = 32 μ

2) The particle moving by acceleration = P/m - 32μ OR The external force = ma + 32μm

Explanation:

* Lets revise Newton’s Third Law:

- For every action there is a reaction, equal in magnitude and opposite

 in direction.

- Examples:

# 1) A particle moving freely against friction in a horizontal plane

- When no external forces acts on the particle, then its equation of

  motion is;

∵ ∑ forces in direction of motion = mass × acceleration

∵ No external force

∵ The friction force (F) = μR, where μ is coefficient of the frictional force

   and R is the normal reaction of the weight of the particle on the

   surface

∵ The frictional force is in opposite direction of the motion

∴ ∑ forces in the direction of motion = 0 - F

∴ 0 - F = mass × acceleration

- Substitute F by μR

∴ - μR = mass × acceleration

∵ R = mg where m is the mass of the particle and g is the acceleration

  of gravity

∴ - μ(mg) = ma ⇒ a is the acceleration of motion

- By divide both sides by m

∴ - μ(g) = a

∵ The acceleration of gravity ≅ 32 feet/sec²

∴ a = - 32 μ

* Any particle moving in a horizontal plane slowed by friction,

 deceleration = 32 μ

# 2) A particle moving under the action of an external force P in a

  horizontal plane.

- When an external force P acts on the particle, then its equation

 of motion is;

∵ ∑ forces in direction of motion = mass × acceleration

∵ The external force = P

∵ The friction force (F) = μR, where μ is coefficient of the frictional force

   and R is the normal reaction of the weight of the particle on the

   surface

∵ The frictional force is in opposite direction of the motion

∴ ∑ forces in the direction of motion = P - F

∴ P - F = mass × acceleration

- Substitute F by μR

∴ P - μR = mass × acceleration

∵ R = mg where m is the mass of the particle and g is the acceleration

  of gravity

∴ P - μ(mg) = ma ⇒ a is the acceleration of motion

∵ The acceleration of gravity ≅ 32 feet/sec²

∴ P - 32μm = ma ⇒ (1)

- divide both side by m

∴ a = (P - 32μm)/m ⇒ divide the 2 terms in the bracket by m

∴ a = P/m - 32μ

* The particle moving by acceleration = P/m - 32μ

- If you want to fin the external force P use equation (1)

∵ P - 32μm = ma ⇒ add 32μm to both sides

∴ P = ma + 32μm

* The external force = ma + 32μm

A generator produces 60 A of current at 120 V. The voltage is usually stepped up to 4500 V by a transformer and transmitted thro
aalyn [17]

Answer:

The percentage power lost in the transmission line if the voltage not stepped up is 50%.

Explanation:

Given that,

Current = 60 A

Voltage = 120 V

Resistance = 1.0 ohm

We need to calculate the power

Using formula of power

P=I\times V

Where,I =current

V = voltage

Put the value into the formula

P=60\times120

P=7200\ W

We need to calculate the percentage power lost in the transmission line

If the voltage is not stepped up

Then, the power loss

P'=I^2\times R

Put the value into the formula

P'=(60)^2\times1

P'=3600\ W

The percentage power loss P''

P''=\dfrac{P'}{P}\times100=\dfrac{3600}{7200}\times100

P''=50\%

Hence, The percentage power lost in the transmission line if the voltage not stepped up is 50%.
