Why do things become hot or cold?<br> Relate to Thermal Energy and The Law of Conservation of Energy
Mekhanik [1.2K]

<u>Answer:</u>

Things become hot and cold because of the transfer of energy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The energy possessed by an object or system is called thermal energy and heat is the flow of this energy. While the law of conversation of energy states that energy is not destroyed or created, it just transfers from one object to another.  

When a hot object is placed in normal conditions, it transfers heat to the environment until both are at the same temperature and heat transfers from the environment to the cold objects placed in normal conditions.

A bullet leaves a gun with a horizontal velocity of 100 m/s. Calculate the distance it would travel in 1.3 seconds.
stiks02 [169]

Ignoring air resistance, the bullet's horizontal velocity is constant:

v_x=v_{0x}=100\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}

In 1.3 seconds, we can expect it to travel

v_xt=\left(100\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)(1.3\,\mathrm s)=130\,\mathrm m

2O POINTS!!! Easy Question. Will Mark Brainiest
wel

Answer: The Electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion between two charges shows that the Newton's third law applies to electrostatic forces.

Explanation: Consider two Oppositely charged charges separated by distance d.

The electrostatic force exerted by charge 1 on charge 2 is.

By Coulomb's Law :

               F1  = k \frac{Q1 Q2}{d2}.....................................(1)

The electrostatic force exerted by charge 2 on charge 1 is.

              F2  = - k \frac{Q1 Q2}{d2} ................................. (2)

negative sign shows that force are in opposite direction.

 

From Equation 1 and 2

              F1 = - F2

Which implies Newton Third law.

A car moved 60 meters west in 2 hours. What is its average velocity?
Fofino [41]

Explanation: Velocity is the displacement of an object during a specific unit of time. Two measurements are needed to determine velocity. Displacement and time. Displacement includes a direction, so velocity also includes a direction. Speed with direction. Velocity can be an average velocity or an instantaneous velocity. Units for velocity are the same as for speed: m/s, km/h, and mph. Delta x(Δx) is the symbol used for displacement. Delta (Δ) means to "change in." Δx means to "change in position." Δx is calculated by final position minus initial position. Velocity formula: → v=Δx/t as a fraction.

v=Δx/t

v=\frac{xf-xi}{t}= \frac{60m}{2}=30m

<em><u>Final answer is 30.</u></em>

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!
