Explain the law of conversion of energy with an example and explain it

Sophie [7]

Answer:

The law of conservation of energy can be seen in these everyday examples of energy transference: Water can produce electricity. Water falls from the sky, converting potential energy to kinetic energy. ... The cue ball loses energy because the energy it had has been transferred to the 8 ball, so the cue ball slows down.

A wire is stretched between two posts. Another wire is stretched between two posts that are twice as far apart. The tension in t

Margarita [4]

Answer: 996m/s

Explanation:

Formula for calculating velocity of wave in a stretched string is

V = √T/M where;

V is the velocity of wave

T is tension

M is the mass per unit length of the wire(m/L)

Since the second wire is twice as far apart as the first, it will be L2 = 2L1

Let V1 and V2 be the speed of the shorter and longer wire respectively

V1 = √T/M1... 1

V2 = √T/M2... 2

Since V1 = 249m/s, M1 = m/L1 M2 = m/L2 = m/2L1

The equations will now become

249 = √T/(m/L1) ... 3

V2 = √T/(m/2L1)... 4

From 3,

249² = TL1/m...5

From 4,

V2²= 2TL1/m... 6

Dividing equation 5 by 6 we have;

249²/V2² = TL1/m×m/2TL1

{249/V2}² = 1/2

249/V2 = (1/2)²

249/V2 = 1/4

V2 = 249×4

V2 = 996m/s

Therefore the speed of the wave on the longer wire is 996m/s

A 5kg object moving horizontally at 3m/s collides with a stationary 3kg object. After the collision, the 5kg object is deflected

gavmur [86]

Answer:

The velocity of each ball after the collision are 2.19 m/s and 2.58 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of object = 5 kg

Speed = 3 m/s

Mass of stationary object = 3 kg

Moving object deflected = 30°

Stationary object deflected = 31°

We need to calculate the velocity of each ball after collision

Using conservation of momentum

Along x-axis

$m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}\cos\theta+m_{2}v_{2}\cos\theta$

Put the value into the fomrula

$5\times3+0=5\times v_{1}\cos30+3\times v_{2}\cos45$

$15=5v_{1}\times\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}+3v_{2}\times\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

$15=\dfrac{5\sqrt{3}}{2}v_{1}+\dfrac{3}{\sqrt{2}}v_{2}$ ....(I)

Along y -axis

$m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}\sin\theta+m_{2}v_{2}\sin\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$0+0=5\times v_{1}\sin30-3\times v_{2}\sin45$

$\dfrac{5}{2}v_{1}-\dfrac{3}{\sqrt{2}}v_{2}=0$ ...(II)

From equation (I) and (II)

$v_{1}=\dfrac{15\times2}{5\sqrt{3}+5}$

$v_{1}=2.19\ m/s$

Put the value of v₁ in equation (I)

$\dfrac{5}{2}\times2.19-\dfrac{3}{\sqrt{2}}v_{2}=0$

$v_{2}=\dfrac{5.475\times\sqrt{2}}{3}$

$v_{2}=2.58\ m/s$

Hence, The velocity of each ball after the collision are 2.19 m/s and 2.58 m/s.

A machine designed to stretch a stiff spring uses 1,550 J of energy to stretch the spring. If the work output is 1,200 J, what i

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

77%

Explanation:

efficiency= work output/work input X 100%

e = 1,200j/ 1,550 j x100%

e = 1,200/1,550= 0.77

e = 0.77 x 100%

e = 77%
