Answer:

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created or destroyed,  although it can be changed from one form to another.    KE + PE = constant. A simple example involves a stationary car at the top of a hill.  As the car coasts down the hill, it moves faster and so it’s kinetic energy increases and it’s potential energy decreases.  On the way back up the hill, the car converts kinetic energy to potential energy.  In the absence of friction, the car should end up at the same height as it started.

This law had to be combined with the law of conservation of mass when it was determined that mass can be inter-converted with energy.

One can also imagine the energy transformation in a pendulum.  When the ball is at the top of its swing, all of the pendulum’s energy is potential energy.   When the ball is at the bottom of its swing, all of the pendulum’s energy is kinetic energy.   The total energy of the ball stays the same but is continuously exchanged between kinetic and potential forms

How do you calculate the power in a circuit or device if given the current and the resistance?
Drupady [299]

Answer:

you use the Ohms law so to find the voltage you would need to multiply the current by the resistance which gives you the power.

V- voltage

I- current

R- resistance

V= I×R

An object is dropped from a vertical distance of 25.5 m above the ground, and it takes 2.28 sec to fall that distance. A second
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The second object takes 2.28 s to fall the 25.5 m.

Explanation:

In this case, both objects take the same time to fall, since <em>no vertical velocity is added </em>to any of them.

You can also confirm this by sepparating the second's object movement into its two directions: in the horizontal one, we have <em>linear uniform motion, </em>and in the vertical one, we have <em>free fall, </em>with exactly the same characteristics as for the first object.
