The answer to this question is given below in this explanation section.

Explanation:

" law of conservation of energy"

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed only converted from one form of energy into another.This mean that a system always has a same account of a energy,unless it is added from the outside.This is particularly confusing in the case of non conversation forces,where energy is converted from ,mechanical energy into thermal energy.but the overall energy does remain the same.The only way to use energy is to transform energy from one form to another.

The amount of energy in any system than it is determined by the following equation.

Ut=Ui +W+Q

Ut is the total internal energy of a system.
Ui is the initial internal energy of a system.
W is the work done by or on the system.
Q is the heat added to or removed by the system.

It is also possible to determined the change in internal energy of the system using the equation.

ΔU=W+Q

The mechanical energy of a system increases provided their is no loss of energy due to friction.The energy would transform to kinetic energy when the speed is increasing.Te mechanical energy of a system remain constant provided their is no loss of energy due to friction.

The law of conversation of energy which say that in a closed system total energy is conserved that is it constant.

A rocket starts from rest and moves upward from the surface of the earth. For the first 10s of its motion, the vertical accelera

Naily [24]

Since the rocket’s acceleration is 3.00 m/s^3 * t, its acceleration is increasing at the rate of 3 m/s^3 each second. The equation for its velocity at a specific time is the integral of the acceleration equation.

vf = vi + 1.5 * t^2, vi = 0 
vf = 1.5 * 10^2 = 150 m/s 
This is the rocket’s velocity at 10 seconds. The equation for its height at specific time is the integral velocity equation

yf = yi + 0.5 * t^3, yi = 0 
yf = 0.5 * 10^3 = 500 meters 
This is the rocket’s height at 10 seconds. 

Part B 
What is the speed of the rocket when it is 345 m above the surface of the earth? 
Express your answer with the appropriate units. 

Use the equation above to determine the time. 

345 = 0.5 * t^3 
t^3 = 690 
t = 690^⅓ 
This is approximately 8.837 seconds. Use the following equation to determine the velocity at this time. 

v = 1.5 * t^2 = 1.5 * (690^⅓)^2 
This is approximately 117 m/s. 

The graph of height versus time is the graph of a cubic function. The graph of velocity is a parabola. The graph of acceleration versus time is line. The slope of the line is the coefficient of t. This is a very different type of problem. For the acceleration to increase, the force must be increasing. To see what this feels like slowly push the accelerator pedal of a car to the floor. Just don’t do this so long that your car is speeding!!

When you float an ice cube in water, you notice that 90% of it is submerged beneath the surface. Now suppose you put the same ic

Kruka [31]

Answer:

more than 90%

Explanation:

In the unknown liquid the buoyant force and weight relation is

$V\rho_lg=mg\\\Rightarrow V\rho_l=m$

It can be seen that if the density decreases the buoyant force decreases.

If the object is already 90% submerged in water then, if the other liquid has density less than that of water the object will be submerged more than 90%.

lukranit [14]

Answer:

d = 6.32 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a puck, m = 2 kg

It is pushed straight north with a constant force of 5N for 1.50 s and then let go.

We need to find the distance covered by the puck when move from rest in 2.25 s.

We know that,
