Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

When we eat food, our body gets chemical energy from it. Now, this chemical energy from the food is changed into some different energy forms that is useful to it. They include:

-Chemical to mechanical energy to aid in movement of muscles

- chemical to thermal energy to aid in regulating the body temperature.

- chemical to electrical energy to aid the brain in thinking.

Thus is similar to how a machine converts energy because machines also generate energy after being powered and convert to other forms of energy. For example, an alarm clock converts electrical energy to sound energy, hair dryer converts electrical energy to thermal/heat energy.

A wheel accelerates from rest to 34.7 rad/s at a rate of 47.0 rad/s^2. Through what angle (in radians) did the wheel turn while

dem82 [27]

12.8 rad

Explanation:

The angular displacement $\theta$ through which the wheel turned can be determined from the equation below:

$\omega^2 = \omega_0^2 + 2\alpha\theta$ (1)

where

$\omega_0 = 0$

$\omega = 34.7\:\text{rad/s}$

$\alpha = 47.0\:\text{rad/s}^2$

Using these values, we can solve for $\theta$ from Eqn(1) as follows:

$2\alpha\theta = \omega^2 - \omega_0^2$

$\theta = \dfrac{\omega^2 - \omega_0^2}{2\alpha}$

$\:\:\:\:= \dfrac{(34.7\:\text{rad/s})^2 - 0}{2(47.0\:\text{rad/s}^2)}$

$\:\:\:\:= 12.8\:\text{rad}$

A 4.0kg block is sliding with a constant velocity of 3.0m/s on a frictionless table that is 0.5m high. If all of the block’s ene

MArishka [77]

Answer:

Velocity = 4.33[m/s]

Explanation:

The total energy or mechanical energy is the sum of the potential energy plus the kinetic energy, as it is known the velocity and the height, we can determine the total energy.

$E_{M}=E_{p} + E_{k} \\E_{p} = potential energy [J]\\E_{k} = kinetic energy [J]\\where:\\E_{p} =m*g*h\\E_{p} = 4*9.81*0.5=19.62[J]\\E_{k}=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2} \\E_{k}=\frac{1}{2} *4*(3)^{2} \\E_{k}=18[J]\\Therefore\\E_{M} =18+19.62\\E_{M}=37.62[J]$

All this energy will become kinetic energy and we can find the velocity.

$37.62=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2} \\v=\sqrt{\frac{37.62*2}{4} } \\v=4.33[m/s]$
