Explain the energy transfer if a book on the edge of a table, falls to the floor. There should be 3 types of energy transfers.

Answer:

potential energy

kinetic energy

thermal energy

Explanation:

The book's potential energy can be released by knocking it off the table. As the book falls, its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. When the book hits the floor this kinetic energy is converted into heat and sound by the impact.

irius, the brightest star in the sky, is 2.6 parsecs (8.6 light-years) from Earth, giving it a parallax of 0.379 arcseconds. Ano
Norma-Jean [14]

The actual distance of Regulus from Earth is 23.81 parsecs.

Given:

Parallax of Regulus, p = 0.042 arc seconds

Calculation:

When an observer changes their position, an apparent change in the object's position takes place. This change can be calculated using the angle ( or semi-angle) made by the observer and object i.e. the angle made between the two lines of observation from the object to the observer.

Thus from the relation of parallax of a celestial body we get:

S = 1/ tan p ≈ 1 / p

where S is the actual distance between the object and the observer

            p is the parallax angle observed

Here for Regulus, we get:

S = 1 / p

  = 1 / (0.042)                                     [ 1 parsecs = 1 arcseconds ]

  = 23.81 parsecs

We know that,

1 parsecs = 3.26 light-years = 206,000 AU

Converting the actual distance into light years we get:

23.81 parsecs = 23.81 × (3.26 light yrs) = 77.658 light-years

Therefore, the actual distance of Regulus from Earth is 23.81 parsecs which is 77.658 in light years.

A basketball is tossed up into the air, falls freely, and bounces from the wooden floor. From the moment after the player releas
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Tha ball- earth/floor system.

Explanation:

The force acting on the ball is the force of gravity when ignoring air resistance. At the moment the player releases the ball, until it reaches the top of its bounce, the small system for which the momentum is conserved is the ball- floor system. The balls exerts and equal and opposite force on the floor. <u>Here the ball hits the floor, because in any collision the momentum is conserved. Moment of the ball -floor system is conserved</u>. Mutual gravitation bring the ball and floor together in one system. As the ball moves downwards, the earth moves upwards, although with an acceleration on the order of 1025 times smaller than that of the ball. The two objects meet, rebound and separate.

Your cousin Jannik skis down a blue square ski slope, with an initial speed of 3.6 m/s. He travels 15 m down the mountain side b
fenix001 [56]

Answer: The loss of energy due to friction is equal to 1,253 J.

Explanation:

The problem tells us that the skier has an initial speed of 3.6 m/s, which means that his initial kinetic energy is as follows:

K₁ = 1/2 m v₁² = 1/2 . 58.0 Kg. (3.6)² (m/s)² =  376 J

After coming to a  flat landing, his final speed is 7.8 m/s, so the final kinetic energy is as follows:

K₂ = 1/2 m v₂² = 1/2. 58.0 Kg. (7.8)² (m/s)² = 1,764 J

Now, when skying down the slope the increase in kinetic energy only can come from another type of energy, in this case, gravitational potential energy.

If we take the ground flat level as a Zero reference, the initial gravitational potential energy, can be written as follows, by definition:

U₁ = m.g. h (1)

Now, we don't know the value of the height h, but we know that the incline has a 18º angle above the horizontal, and that the distance travelled along the incline is 15 m.

By definition, the sinus of an angle, is equal to the proportion between the height and the hypotenuse , so we can write the following equation:

sin 18º = h / 15 m ⇒ h = 15 m. sin 18º = 4.6 m

Replacing in (1), we get:

U₁ = 58.0 Kg. 9.8 m/s². 4.6 m = 2,641 J

So, we can get the total initial mechanical energy, as follows:

E₁ = K₁ + U₁ = 376 J + 2,641 J = 3,017 J

After arriving to the flat zone, all potential energy has become in kinetic energy, even though not completely, due to the effect of friction.

This remaining kinetic energy can be written as follows:

E₂ = K₂ = 1,764 J

The difference E₂-E₁, is the loss of energy due to friction forces acting during the travel along the 15 m path, and is as follows:

ΔE= E₂ - E₁ = 1,764 J - 3,017 J = -1,253 J
