Answer:

d = 2 [m].

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the principle of conservation of energy, where the mechanical energy in a state plus the work done on the body, must be equal to the mechanical energy in the state E. This can be easily represented in the following equation.

E_{A}+W_{A-E}=E_{E}

where:

Ea = Mechanical energy in A [J]

Wa-e = Work among states a and e [J]

Ee = Mechanical energy in E [J].

The key to being able to understand this problem is that in state A, we only have kinetic energy, while the energy in state E is equal to zero (there is no movement). The work is equal to the product of force by distance, as work acts in the opposite direction to movement, this has a negative sign.

10 - F*d = 0\\5*d = 10\\d = 10/5\\d = 2 [m]

A 50.0 kg object is moving at 18.2 m/s when a 200 N force
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

distance = 21.56 m

Explanation:

given data

mass = 50 kg

initial velocity  = 18.2 m/s

force = -200 N ( here force applied to opposite direction )

final velocity = 12.6 m/s

solution

we know here acceleration will be as

acceleration a  = force ÷ mass

a = \frac{-200}{50}   =  -4 m/s²

we get here now required time that is

required time = \frac{V_{(final)} - V_{(initial)}}{a}     ...............1

put here value

required time = \frac{12.6-18.2}{-4}  

so distance will be

distance = \frac{V_{(final)}^2 - V_{(initial)}^2}{2a}    ........2

distance = \frac{12.6}^2 -{18.2}^2}{2\times (-4)}  

distance = 21.56 m

When Javier touches a hot mug of tea, energy is transferred from the surface of the mug to his hand. What kind of energy is this
sweet [91]

Answer:

Thermal energy

Explanation:

  • When work is being done energy is being transferred.
  • <em><u>Work can transfer energy between objects and cause a change in the form of energy.</u></em>
  • Thermal energy is a type of energy that is generated from heat. It is an example of kinetic energy that involves motion of particles.
  • <em><u>When  Javier touches a hot mug of tea, </u></em><em><u>thermal energy </u></em><em><u>is transferred from the surface of the mug to his hand through conduction.</u></em>
