The chemical energy of petrol is converted to heat energy on combustion. The heat energy is converted to kinetic energy by the use of internal combustion engines in vehicles. The law of conservation of energy is maintained in each process.
<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>
The kinetic energy of an object is associated with its motion. It can be related to the mass and velocity as
K.E = 1/2 mv²
Given is a diagram of energy conversion due to combustion.
The chemical energy of petrol is converted to heat energy on combustion. The heat energy is converted to kinetic energy by the use of internal combustion engines in vehicles.
The law of conservation of energy states that the energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can be only converted to one form to the other.
In the given process, the mass decreases but energy remains the same in all forms of energy.
Hence, the law of conservation of energy is maintained in each process

For the answer to the question above, first find out the gradient.
<span>m = rise/run </span>
<span>=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) </span>
<span>the x's and y's are the points given: "After three hours, the velocity of the car is 53 km/h. After six hours, the velocity of the car is 62 km/h" </span>
<span>(x1,y1) = (3,53) </span>
<span>(x2,y2) = (6,62) </span>
<span>sub values back into the equation </span>
<span>m = (62-53)/(6-3) </span>
<span>m = 9/3 </span>
<span>m = 3 </span>
<span>now we use a point-slope form to find the the standard form </span>
<span>y-y1 = m(x-x1) </span>
<span>where x1 and y1 are any set of point given </span>
<span>y-53 = 3(x-3) </span>
<span>y-53 = 3x - 9 </span>
<span>y = 3x - 9 + 53 </span>
<span>y = 3x + 44 </span>
<span>y is the velocity of the car, x is the time.
</span>I hope this helps.
The equivalent resistance of several devices connected in parallel is given by
where
are the resistances of the various devices. We can see that every time we add a new device in parallel, the term
increases, therefore the equivalent resistance of the circuit
decreases.
But Ohm's law:
tells us that if the equivalent resistance decreases, the total current in the circuit increases. The power dissipated through the circuit (and so, the heat produced) depends on the square of the current:
therefore if there are too many devices connected in parallel, this can be a problem because there could be too much power dissipated (and too much heat) through the circuit.
