Answer:

Energy is defined as the ability to do work. Forms of energy could be kinetic energy or potential energy. Thermal or heat energy can originate from a hot object such as the sun. Energy is used to produce work. Electrical energy for lighting purposes and heating in homes and factories.

Explanation:

Energy is defined as the ability to do work and can be in various forms such as kinetic energy, potential energy, thermal, chemical, electrical energy etc.

Energy origination depends on the type of energy form in discussion. Thermal or heat energy can originate from a hot object such as the sun or an iron box, chemical energy originates from the interaction of atoms and molecules and electrical energy can be initiated by movements of electrons.

Energy is used to produce work. Different forms of energy can do different tasks such as;

Heat energy for heating water

Electrical energy for lighting purposes

Geothermal energy for producing heat and electricity

Nuclear energy for production of nuclear power

Chemical energy for facilitating chemical reactions

Which list includes translucent objects only
Lunna [17]

Objects that let in light and blurry images are translucent.

Translucent is a term that refers to an adjective. This characteristic is the property of an object to allow the passage of light, without allowing visibility with high clarity through it.

This term is often confused with transparency. However, they differ because a transparent object lets light through easily and allows you to see clearly through it.

According to the above, objects that allow light to pass through but do not allow clear vision are translucent.

Suppose the student in (Figure 1) is 68kg, and the board being stood on has a 12kg mass. What is the reading on the left scale?
lesantik [10]

The equilibrium conditions allow to find the results for the balance forces are:

  • F₁ = 225.4 N
  • F₂ = 558.6 N

When the acceleration is zero we have the equilibrium conditions for both linear and rotational motion.

            ∑ F = 0

            ∑ τ = 0

           

Where F are the forces and τ the torques.

The torque  is the product of the force and the perpendicular distance to the point of support,

The free-body diagrams are diagrams of the forces without the details of the bodies, see attached for the free-body diagram of the system.

We write the translational equilibrium condition.

           F₁ - W₁ - W₂ + F₂ = 0

We write the equation for the rotational motion, set our point of origin at scale 1, and the counterclockwise turns are positive.

         F₂ 2 - W₁ 1 - W₂ 1.5 = 0\frac{W_1  \ 1 + W_2 \ 1.5}{2}

Let's calculate F₂

         F₂ = \frac{W_1 \ 1 + W_2 \ 1.5 }{2}  

         F₂ = (m g + M g 1.5)/ 2

         F₂ = \frac{(12 + 68 \ 1.5 ) \  9.8}{2}  

         F₂ = 558.6 N

We substitute in the translational equilibrium equation.

         F₁ = W₁ + W₂ - F₂

         F₁ = (m + M) g - F₂

         F₁ = (12 +68) 9.8 - 558.6

         F₁ = 225.4 N

In conclusion using the equilibrium conditions we can find the forces of the balance are:

  • F₁ = 225.4 N
  • F2 = 558.6 N
