What unit is used to measure energy when calculating specific heat capacity? Give the abbreviation, not the full name.

When you are on a roller coaster, you are constantly transforming from Potential to Kinetic energy and back. Explain how these e

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

The two types of energy possessed by the roller coaster are:

- Potential energy: it is the energy possessed by the roller coaster due to its position. It is calculated as

$PE=mgh$

where

m is the mass of the roller coaster

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the roller coaster relative to the ground

- KInetic energy: it is the energy possessed by the roller coaster due to its motion. It is calculated as

$KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

v is the speed of the roller coaster

Moreover, according to the law of conservation of energy, the total mechanical energy of the roller coaster (the sum of potential+kinetic energy) is constant during the motion:

$E=PE+KE=const.$

This implies that:

- When PE increases (because h increases), KE decreases (because v decreases)

- When PE decreases (because h decreases), KE increases (because v increases)

Now we can apply these conclusions to the motion of the roller coaster:

- When it moves from A to B, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, so PE decreases and KE increases

- When it moves from B to C, kinetic energy is converted into potential energy, so PE increases and KE decreases

- When it moves from C to D, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, so PE decreases and KE increases

- When it moves from D to E, kinetic energy is converted into potential energy, so PE increases and KE decreases

A car is being driven at a rate of 60 ft/sec when the brakes are applied. The car decelerates at a constant rate of 19

Hunter-Best [27]

The car will take 300 m before it stops due to applying break.

<h3>What's the relation between initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration and distance?</h3>

As per Newton's equation of motion, V² - U² = 2aS
V= final velocity velocity of the object, U = initial velocity velocity of the object, a= acceleration, S = distance covered by the object
Here, U = 60 ft/sec, V = 0 m/s, a= -6 ft/sec²
So, 0² - 60² = 2×6× S

=> -3600 = -12S

=> S = 3600/12 = 300 m

Thus, we can conclude that the distance covered by the car is 300 m before it stopped.

How much force must be applied for a 150.W motor to keep a package moving at 3.00m/s?

leva [86]

The force must be applied for motor to keep the package moving is 50 N.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Force is the action of push or pull the object in order to make it move or stop.

Power is related to force and velocity as

P = F x v

150 W = F x 3 m/s

F =50 N

Thus, the force must be applied for motor to keep the package moving is 50 N.

Answer:

98.13m

Explanation:

Complete question

Daniel is 50.0 meters away from a building. Tip of the building makes an angle of 63.0° with the horizontal. What is the height of the building

CHECK THE ATTACHMENT

From the figure, using trigonometry

Tan(θ ) = opposite/adjacent

Where Angle (θ )= 63°

Opposite= X = height of the building

Adjacent= 50 m

Then substitute the values we have

Tan(63)= X/50

1.9626= X/50

X= 1.9626 × 50

X= 98.13m

Hence, the height of the building is 98.13m

Heat transfer between two substances is affected by specific heat and the

IgorLugansk [536]

The correct answer is D. Amount of time and area of physical contact between the substances.

Explanation:

Heat transfer refers to the flow of thermal energy or heat between two or more objects. This process involves multiple factors and implies heat from the hottest object goes to the coldest one until there is an equilibrium. To begin, heat transfer depends on the amount of thermal energy in the objects because objects must have a different amount of thermal energy for heat to flow.

Besides this, the amount of energy that flows depends on the time and the contact between the substances of objects. Indeed, objects need to be in contact or close to each other for heat to transfer, and the time needs to be enough for the process to occur. For example, if you place a pot over the fire just for a few seconds it is likely the heat transferred is minimal, which does not occur if you leave the pot more time. At the same time if the pot is in close contact with fire more heat will be transferred.-
