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.

A 2 kg object traveling at 5 m s on a frictionless horizontal surface collides head-on with and sticks to a 3 kg object initiall

Svetlanka [38]

Answer: (d)

Explanation:

Given

Mass of object $m=2\ kg$

Speed of object $u=5\ m/s$

Mass of object at rest $M=3\ kg$

Suppose after collision, speed is v

conserving momentum

$\Rightarrow mu+0=(m+M)v\\\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{2\times 5}{2+3}\\\\\Rightarrow v=2\ m/s$

Initial kinetic energy

$k_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 5^2\\\\k_1=25\ J$

Final kinetic energy

$k_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (2+3)\times 2^2\\\\k_2=10\ J$

So, it is clear there is decrease in kinetic energy . Thus, energy decreases and velocity becomes 2 m/s.

A student wearing a frictionless roller skates on a horizontal is pushed by a friend with a constant force of 55N. How far must

umka21 [38]

Answer:

6.58m

Explanation:

The kinetic energy = Workdone on the roller

Workdone = Force * distance

Given

KE = Workdone = 362J

Force = 55N

Required

Distance

Substitute into the formula;

Workdone = Force * distance

362 = 55d

d = 362/55

d = 6.58m

Hence the student must push at a distance of 6.58m
