A. Physics
The study of how objects interact with each other
Answer:
1500 Joules
Explanation:
Work = Force x Distance
When multiplying by 10 you simply shift all the digits to the
left and append a 0 to the end.
so 150 x 10 = 1500 Joules
Answer:
Let the mass of the book be "m", acceleration due to gravity be "g", velocity be "v" and height be "h".
Now if we are holding a book at a certain height (h), <em><u>the potential energy will be maximum which is equal to mass× acceleration due to gravity× height (= mgh)</u>.</em>
(Remember: kinetic energy =0)
Now we consider that the book is dropped, in this case a force will act downward towards the centre of the earth, <em><u>Force= mass× acceleration due to gravity (F=mg)</u></em>. It is equal to the weight of the book.
While the book is falling, the potential energy stored in the book converts into kinetic energy and strikes the floor with <em><u>the maximum kinetic energy= (1/2)×mass×velocity² (=1/2mv²)</u>.</em>
(Remember: kinetic energy=0)
Due to this process the whole energy is conserved.
As the potential energy decreases kinetic energy increases.
