<span>The law of conservation of energy applies to a light bulb because the energy is being transformed into light and the light bulb is acting as a catalyst. The light bulb itself is not a form of energy, however when in combination with the electrical outlet to the bulb the electricity heats up the metal interior forming it into light. according to the law of conservation energy cannot be created or destroyed, but instead is formed into different kinds of energy. In relation to a light bulb electrical currents are forming heat energy by heating up the metal interior, then the bulb or glass around it allows to radiate light.</span>
In an extremely simplified explanation,
What happens is that the steam (heat) that is generated by the burning of coal is used to rotate the motor of the steam engine.
Answer:
Explanation:
Work done in carrying bricks
mgh
= 207 x 9.8 x 3.65
-= 7404.4 J
Work done in compressing gas
PΔV
Pressure x change in volume
1.8 x 10⁶ ΔV = 7404.4
ΔV = 7404.4 / 1.8 x 10⁶m³
= 4113.33 x 10⁻⁶ m³
= 4113.33 cc
The strength of the friction doesn't matter. Neither does the distance or the time the asteroid takes to stop. All that matters is that the asteroid has
1/2 (mass) (speed squared)
of kinetic energy when it lands, and zero when it stops.
So
1/2 (mass) (original speed squared)
is the energy it loses to friction in order to come to rest.
