Driving a motor........

chemical energy is converted into kinetic energy.

Falling off of cliff

.........gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

Hydroelectric energy generation

.......gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (i.e. driving a generator), which is then converted into electrical energy.

Nuclear power generation

.........mass is converted into energy, which then drives a steam turbine, which is then converted into electrical energy.

AN airplane travels 4000 m in 20s on a heading 0f 35 degrees north west. Calculate average velocity .

alexandr402 [8]

Isn't velocity Distance over time? if the degree isn't adding resistance it should be 4000 ÷ 20 which gives you 200mps ("per second") which is the velocity without resistance.

Explain how to find the acceleration of an object that has one-dimensional horizontal motion.

Nostrana [21]

Acceleration is how much the velocity changes within a period of time so,

Acceleration= is the change in velocity divided by change in time

your units will be m/s squared

A 2kg hockey puck is sliding across the ice skating rink at 2 m/s. A player hits the puck so it's velocity increases to 10 m/s.

konstantin123 [22]

The work done on the puck is 96 J

Explanation:

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done on the hockey puck is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the puck.

Mathematically:

$W=K_f -K_i= \frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2$
