Hey there!

The energy that is stored in food is called CHEMICAL ENERGY

So, when humans/people eat foods their bodies transfigure the energy that is stored which is known as the calories.

Whereas the chains (bonds) in the middle of the atoms in the food humans eat that break up the check mal reactions that has been taken into place and newer compounds will be created. Each food that you eat stores unlikeable amounts of energy

Answer: Chemical energy

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Which statements describe a situation in which work is being done? Check all that apply.

slava [35]

The work is being done in following cases:

A mover carries a box up a flight of stairs.

A mover carries a box across a room.

Wind blows a pool chair across the yard.

A weightlifter lifts a barbell off the ground.

These are the only cases in which work is being done. The Formula of Work is:

Work= Force applied x Distance moved.

In all of these cases force is being applied and the object on which the force is being applied move in a horizontal or Vertical direction. Thus Work is done !

A spring has a natural length of 0.5 m and was stretched by 0.02 m. if the spring had a resultant energy of 0.5 j what is the sp

Anna71 [15]

$\textbf{2500 }\dfrac{\textbf{kg}}{\textbf{s}^{\textbf{2}}}$

Explanation:

Natural length of a spring is $0.5\text{ }m$ . The spring is streched by $0.02\text{ }m$ . The resultant energy of the spring is $0.5\text{ }J$ .

The potential energy of an ideal spring with spring constant $k$ and elongation $x$ is given by $\dfrac{1}{2}kx^{2}$ .

So, in the current problem, the natural length of the spring is not required to find the spring constant $k$ .

$\text{Potential Energy in the spring = }\dfrac{1}{2}kx^{2}\\0.5\text{ }J\text{ }=\text{ }\dfrac{1}{2}k(0.02\text{ }m)^{2}\\k\times0.0004\text{ }m^{2}\text{ }=\text{ }1\text{ }J\text{ }=\text{ }1\text{ }kg\frac{m^{2}}{s^{2}}\\k\text{ }=\text{ }\dfrac{1\text{ }kg\dfrac{m^{2}}{s^{2}}}{0.0004\text{ }m^{2}}\text{ }=\text{ }2500\text{ }\frac{kg}{s^{2}}$

∴ The spring constant of the spring = $2500\text{ }\frac{kg}{s^{2}}$

Experiment 1: A study is done to determine which of two fuel mixtures allows a rocket to travel farther over a period of time. R

leva [86]

Answer: D

Experiment 1 has a confounding variable related to the mass of the rockets. Any variation in mass may cause a discrepancy in the distance traveled.

This is the answer to the question because:
