Which is true according to the law of conservation of energy?

Physics
1 answer:
tatiyna3 years ago
4 0

Answer: Last option (total energy always remains constant)

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation basically states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. Only changed from one form to another (potential, kinetic, chemical, etc.) so it makes sense that the net energy is unchanging.

A 5.20 kg chunk of ice is sliding at 13.5 m/s on the floor of an ice-covered valley when it collides with and sticks to another
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The chunk went as high as

2.32m above the valley floor

Explanation:

This type of collision between both ice is an example of inelastic collision, kinetic energy is conserved after the ice stuck together.

Applying the principle of energy conservation for the two ice we have based on the scenery

Momentum before impact = momentum after impact

M1U1+M2U2=(M1+M2)V

Given data

Mass of ice 1 M1= 5.20kg

Mass of ice 2 M2= 5.20kg

velocity of ice 1 before impact U1= 13.5 m/s

velocity of ice 2 before impact U2= 0m/s

Velocity of both ice after impact V=?

Inputting our data into the energy conservation formula to solve for V

5.2*13.5+5.2*0=(10.4)V

70.2+0=10.4V

V=70.2/10.4

V=6.75m/s

Therefore the common velocity of both ice is 6.75m/s

Now after impact the chunk slide up a hill to solve for the height it climbs

Let us use the equation of motion

v²=u²-2gh

The negative sign indicates that the chunk moved against gravity

And assuming g=9.81m/s

Initial velocity of the chunk u=0m/s

Substituting we have

6.75²= 0²-2*9.81*h

45.56=19.62h

h=45.56/19.62

h=2.32m

Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false. In a coal-fired power plant, chemical energy is first conver
denis23 [38]

Answer:

1. In a coal-fired power plant, chemical energy is first converted to thermal energy. TRUE.

The chemical energy in the coal is converted to thermal energy when the coal is burnt to produce steam.

2. In a coal-fired power plant, approximately 2/5 of original energy in the coal is lost to heat. FALSE.

Approximately 3/5 of the original energy is lost not 2/5 so this statement is false.

3. The molecules in cold air move faster than in hot air. FALSE.

Molecules with more heat move faster than molecules with less. Molecules in cold air therefore, will move slower than molecules in hot air.

A tall cylinder contains 30 cm of water. oil is carefully poured into the cylinder, where it floats on top of the water, until t
Art [367]

The total gauge pressure at the bottom of the cylinder would simply be the sum of the pressure exerted by water and pressure exerted by the oil.

The formula for calculating pressure in a column is:

P = ρ g h

Where,

P = gauge pressure

ρ = density of the liquid

g = gravitational acceleration

h = height of liquid

Adding the two pressures will give the total:

P total = (ρ g h)_water + (ρ g h)_oil

P total = (1000 kg / m^3) (9.8 m / s^2) (0.30 m) + (900 kg / m^3) (9.8 m / s^2) (0.4 - 0.30 m)

P total = 2940 Pa + 882 Pa

P total = 3,822 Pa

 

Answer:

 The total gauge pressure at the bottom is 3,822 Pa.
