The so-called "terminal velocity" is the fastest that something can fall
through a fluid. Even though there's a constant force pulling it through,
the friction or resistance of plowing through the surrounding substance
gets bigger as the speed grows, so there's some speed where the resistance
is equal to the pulling force, and then the falling object can't go any faster.
A few examples:
-- the terminal velocity of a sky-diver falling through air,
-- the terminal velocity of a pecan falling through honey,
-- the terminal velocity of a stone falling through water.
It's not possible to say that "the terminal velocity is ----- miles per hour".
If any of these things changes, then the terminal velocity changes too:
-- weight of the falling object
-- shape of the object
-- surface texture (smoothness) of the object
-- density of the surrounding fluid
-- viscosity of the surrounding fluid .
Answer:
C. changing nuclear energy to radiant energy
Explanation:
Nuclear energy takes atoms in their potential state, split them (fission) or fuse them (fusion) creating chain reactions of radiant energy. Most nuclear electrical power plants use fission, radiant energy heats water making steam to spin turbines.
Or think of the atom bomb. Definitely potential energy until the fuse starts detonation and chain reactions. The radiant kinetic energy and shock waves were horrendous.
Answer:
It's B
Explanation:
Hope this helps, tell me if im wrong!
Explanation:
Average speed = distance / time
|v| = (7 km + 2 km) / (2 hr + 1 hr)
|v| = 3 km/hr
Average velocity = displacement / time
v = (7 km east + 2 km east) / (2 hr + 1 hr)
v = 3 km/hr east
The work done by the machine is equal to the product between the force applied and the distance over which the force is applieds, so in this case:
And the power of the machine is equal to the ratio between the work done by the machine and the time taken:
