Answer: 2.7 x 10^5 joules

Explanation:

Given that:

Time taken = 3 minutes

convert time in minutes to seconds

(Since 1 minute = 60 seconds

3 minutes = 3 x 60 = 180 seconds)

Power of toaster = 1500 watt

Work done by the toaster = ?

Recall that power is the rate of work done per unit time

i.e Power = work/time

work = Power x Time

Work = 1500 watt x 180 seconds

Work = 270000J

Place the result in standard form

270000J = 2.7 x 10^5J

Thus, 2.7 x 10^5 joules of work is done by the toaster.

Magnesium is a shiny, flexible metal that can be burned in the presence of air.
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

A new substance was formed

Explanation:

According to this question, a shiny and flexible metal called Magnesium (Mg) is burnt in air to produce a white powder that has no shiny or flexible properties, however, has more weight than the magnesium metal itself.

This is possible because a CHEMICAL CHANGE has occured, hence, a new substance has been formed. The formation of a new substance during the burning process (chemical reaction), induced the increase in mass.

You are watching a magic show. For one trick the magician rolls a ball down a hill. Suddenly the ball stops moving down the hill
poizon [28]
The forces (what causes the ball to accelerate) are gravity, friction, and the normal force. In this case, gravity is a downward force caused by the gigantic mass of the Earth and the mass of the ball. Keep in mind that a force is acceleration. Acceleration is a change in velocity. The ball speeds up. Than it stops speeding up at a certain point where the frictional force (along with air friction) equals the parallel component of gravity. 




Newton's Second Law States- The greater mass of an object, the more force it will take to accelerate the object.

A car is strapped to a rocket (combined mass = 661 kg), and its kinetic energy is 66,120 J.
aliina [53]

Answer:

9.43 m/s

Explanation:

First of all, we calculate the final kinetic energy of the car.

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done on the car is equal to its change in kinetic energy:

W=K_f - K_i

where

W = -36.733 J is the work done on the car (negative because the car is slowing down, so the work is done in the direction opposite to the motion of the car)

K_f is the final kinetic energy

K_i = 66,120 J is the initial kinetic energy

Solving,

K_f = K_i + W = 66,120 + (-36,733)=29,387 J

Now we can find the final speed of the car by using the formula for kinetic energy

K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m = 661 kg is the mass of the car

v is its final speed

Solving for v, we find

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K_f}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(29,387)}{661}}=9.43 m/s
