Describe the conditions that are necessary for mechanical energy to be a conserved quantity.

Physics

Mechanical energy is conserved when there are no non-conservative forces acting on the body. Examples are friction and elastic forces of stress in a body. These non-conservative forces convert mechanical energy to other forms of energy like heat and sound

Hope this makes sense

1. A 25.35-g piece of iron absorbs 1562.75 Joules of heat energy, and its temperature
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Q = C M T        where C is the specific, M the mass, T the temperature change

Note 1 cal = 4.19 Joules

1562.75 J / (4.19 J/cal) = 378 cal

C = Q / (M * T) = 378 cal / (25.35 g * 155 deg C)

C = .096 cal / g deg C

In the combo circuit diagrammed, R1 = 19.2 Ω, R2 = 20.7 Ω, and R3 = 25.8 Ω. Find the equivalent resistance of the circuit.
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Equivalent resistance: 13.589 Ω

Explanation:

R series = R1 + R2 + R3 ...

\frac{1}{R_{eq} } = \frac{1}{R1} +\frac{1}{R2} +\frac{1}{R3} ...

Find the equivalent resistance of the right branch of the circuit:

R_{eq}  = R_{2} +R_{3} \\R_{eq} = 20.7 + 25.8 = 46.5 ohms

\frac{1}{R_{eq} } = \frac{1}{19.2} +\frac{1}{46.5}\\\\\frac{1}{R_{eq} } = 0.0735887097\\\\R_{eq} = 13.5890411

Distinguish between directly proportional and inversely proportional with an example of each
RideAnS [48]

Consider two variables said to be "inversely proportional" to each other. If all other variables are held constant, the magnitude or absolute value of one inversely proportional variable decreases if the other variable increases, while their product (the constant of proportionality k) is always the same.

How does changing the lengthy but not the height of an inclined plane affect the work done to lift a load? PLZ HELP ME NOW'
Serhud [2]

Answer: Work Done would remain same.

Let us assume that the velocity is constant while taking the load up the inclined plane. Then, the kinetic energy would remain the same. This is because kinetic energy is dependent on velocity (K.E.=\frac{1}{2}mv^2). If that is constant, the kinetic energy would remain same. The potential energy is dependent on the height(P.E.=mgh). If the height is changed, then potential energy varies. In the question, it is mentioned that without changing the height, the length of the inclined plane is changed. Therefore, the potential energy would be same as before.

We know, work done is equal to potential energy plus kinetic energy. Since there is no change in any of these, the required work done would not change.
