Answer:

Explanation:

When you sit by a campfire, most of the heat you are receiving from the fire does not come from hot air. ... This radiation carries energy which is converted to heat when it hits another object and is absorbed. In contrast, conduction involves the direct movement of heat through an object.

What is the form of energy that is produced in all energy transformations?
Damm [24]

Answer: Long Answer...

Explanation: Most of the time, chemical energy is released in the form of heat, and this transformation from chemical energy to heat, or thermal energy, is called an exothermic reaction. Next, there are two main types of mechanical energy: kinetic energy and potential energy.

Explain how the potential energy of two charged particles depends on the distance between the charged particles and on the magni
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

According to Coulomb's Law, the potential energy of two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of the two charges and inversely proportional to the distance between the charges

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's Law, the potential energy of two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of the two charges and inversely proportional to the distance between the charges.  Since the potential energy  of two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of the two charges, its magnitude increases as the charges of the particles increases. For like charges, the potential energy is positive(the product of the two alike charges must be positive) and since potential energy is inversely proportional to the distance between the charges therefore it decreases as the particles get farther apart . For opposite charges, the potential energy is negative(the product of the two opposite charges must be negative) and since potential energy is inversely proportional to the distance between the two charges, it becomes more negative as the particles get closer together.

A car drives at steady speed around a perfectly circular track.
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

e. Both the acceleration and net force on the car point inward.

Explanation:

If no net force acts on the car, the car must drive in a straight line, at constant speed.

As the acceleration is defined as the rate of change of the velocity vector, this means that it can produce either a change in the magnitude of the velocity (the speed) or in the direction.

In order to the car can follow a circular trajectory, it must be subjected to an acceleration, that must go inward, trying to take the car towards the center of the circle.

The net force that causes this acceleration, aims inward, and is called the centripetal force.

It is not a different type of force, it can be a friction force, a tension force, a normal force, etc., as needed.

A tennis ball is released from a height of 4.0 m above the floor. After its third bounce off the floor, it reaches a height of 1
diamong [38]

Answer:

The percentage of its mechanical energy does the ball lose with each bounce is 23 %

Explanation:

Given data,

The tennis ball is released from the height, h = 4 m

After the third bounce it reaches height, h' = 183 cm

                                                                       = 1.83 m

The total mechanical energy of the ball is equal to its maximum P.E

                                      E = mgh

                                          = 4 mg

At height h', the P.E becomes

                                      E' = mgh'

                                           = 1.83 mg

The percentage of change in energy the ball retains to its original energy,

                                 \Delta E\%=\frac{1.83mg}{4mg}\times100\%

                                  ΔE % = 45 %

The ball retains only the 45% of its original energy after 3 bounces.

Therefore, the energy retains in each bounce is

                                   ∛ (0.45) = 0.77

The ball retains only the 77% of its original energy.

The energy lost to the floor is,

                                E = 100 - 77

                                   = 23 %

Hence, the percentage of its mechanical energy does the ball lose with each bounce is 23 %
