What is meant by absolute time? Why was it not noticed before the development of the special theory of relativity?

poizon [28]

<span>Absolute time is placing a number on an object or event. It would be like saying this fossil is 500,000,000 millions years old or a volcanic eruption took place 200,000 years ago. Absolute time is expressed in numbers.
</span>
<span>Newton's assumptions were perfectly rational, considering the prevailing knowledge at the time he lived. His conclusions were absolutely revolutionary, and his work is still used on a daily basis by engineers designing everything from skateboards to spacecraft. </span>

The Atwood’s machine shown consists of two blocks of mass m1 and m2 that are connected by a light string that passes over a pull

Talja [164]

(A) For the system consisting of the two blocks, the change in the kinetic energy of the system is equal to work done by gravity on the system.

(D) For the system consisting of the two blocks, the pulley and the Earth, the change in the total mechanical energy of the system is zero.

<h3 /><h3>The given parameters:</h3>

Mass of block 1 = m1
Mass of block 2, = m2
Height of block 1 above the ground, = h1
Height of block 2 above the ground = h2

The total initial mechanical energy of the two block system is calculated as follows;

$m_1gh_1 + \frac{1}{2} m_1v_1_i^2 = m_2gh_2 + \frac{1}{2} m_2v_2_i^2\\\\m_1gh_1 + 0 = m_2gh_2 + 0\\\\m_1gh_1 = m_2gh_2\\\\m_1gh_1 - m_2gh_2 = 0$

When the block m2 reaches the ground the block m1 attains maximum height and the total mechanical energy at this point is given as;

$m_1g(h_1 + h_2) + K.E_1 = \frac{1}{2}m_2v_{max}^2 + P.E_2\\\\m_1g(h_1 + h_2 ) -PE_2 = \frac{1}{2}m_2v_{max}^2 - K.E_1\\\\m_1g(h_1 + h_2 ) - 0= \frac{1}{2}m_2v_{max}^2 - 0\\\\m_1g(h_1 + h_2 ) = \frac{1}{2}m_2v_{max}^2\\\\W = \frac{1}{2}m_2v_{max}^2$

Thus, we can conclude the following before the block m2 reaches the ground;

For the system consisting of the two blocks, the pulley and the Earth, the change in the total mechanical energy of the system is zero.
For the system consisting of the two blocks, the change in the kinetic energy of the system is equal to work done by gravity on the system.

A welding torch produces a flame by burning acetylene fuel in the presence of oxygen. This flame is used to melt a metal. Which

mart [117]

<u>Answer</u>

Chemical energy in to thermal energy

<u>Explanation</u>

When acetylene fuel is burning in presence of oxygen, we have chemical process taking place. The torch is used to heat metal to its kindling temperature in oxy-fuel cutting. The steam of gas is then trained on the metal burning it into a metal oxide that flows out of the spout.

So the energy transformation represents this process is <em>Chemical energy into thermal energy </em>
