WINSTONCH [101]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

8000J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the car lost during breaking are converted to thermal energy and are gained by the brakes.

Kinetic energy loss by car = thermal energy gained by brakes.

∆K.E = ∆T.E ....1

The Kinetic energy loss by car can be expressed as;

∆K.E = K.E1 - K.E2

Initial K.E = K.E1 = 10000J

Final K.E = K.E2 = 2000J

∆K.E= 10000J - 2000J = 8000J

From equation 1,

∆K.E = ∆T.E

∆T.E = 8,000J

thermal energy gain by brakes = 8,000J

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The charge at the center of the conducting sphere is zero.

Explanation:

A principle of conductor materials is that the electric field inside a conductor in electrostatic state is always zero. The gauss law says that the flux of a electric field in a closed surface is proportional to the charge enclosed by the surface. Then if the Electric field inside of a conductor is zero, imperatively the charge anywhere inside the conductor is zero too, so the charge at the center of the sphere is zero.

A student writes, "A bird that is diving for prey has a speed of − 10 m /s ." What is wrong with the student's statement? What h
kompoz [17]

Answer:

Speed is a scalar quantity it has only magnitude. So in the given scenario the student actually described about the velocity.

Explanation:

In this situation, student is describing that the speed is -10 m/s. The speed with the negative sign is wrong because speed is a scalar quantity and scalar quantities have only magnitude, they do not have direction. So, his statement is wrong because he is describing the speed with the negative sign.

And also we know that velocity is a vector quantity, so it has magnitude as well as direction also. So in this situation, the student is actually want to describe the velocity because he is mentioning the magnitude in a particular direction.

What is the advantage of the SI unit over CGS units?
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The advantage of the SI unit over CGS unit are:

  • S.I has broader base. It has seven base units and two supplementary units.
  • S.I is metric.
  • S.I is coherent.
  • S.I is rational, i.e. it gives one unit for one physical quantity .e g. for energy of any type i.e, mechanical or heat or electrical.There is only one unit Joule(J) but in M.K.S system unit for mechanical energy is joule.
