Applying the Law of Conservation of Energy. If a car was released down the track from a height what happens to the potential ene

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

The coil of a generator has a radius of 0.14 m. When this coil is unwound, the wire from which it is made has a length of 10.0 m
adell [148]

Answer:

5.565 V

Explanation:

Radius of coil of generator=r=0.14 m

Length of wire=l=10 m

Magnetic field,B=0.24 T

Angular speed,\omega=34rad/s

We have to find the peak emf of the generator.

N=\frac{l}{2\pi r}=\frac{10}{2\pi\times 0.14}=11

A=\pi r^2=\pi (0.14)^2=0.062m^2

Peak(maximum) induced emf of generator=E_{max}=NBA\omega

Using the formula

E_{max}=11\times 0.24\times 0.062\times 34

E_{max}=5.565 V

An electrician finds that a 1 m length of a certain type of wire has a resistance of 0.24 Ω . What is the total resistance of th
zlopas [31]

The resistance of a given conductor depends on its electrical resistivity (\rho), its length(L) and its cross-sectional area (A), as follows:

R=\frac{\rho L}{A}

In this case, we have L'=138L, \rho'=\rho and A'=A. So, the total resistance of the wire with length of 138m is:

R'=\frac{\rho' L'}{A'}\\R'=\frac{\rho 138L}{A}\\R'=138\frac{\rho L}{A}\\R'=138R\\R'=138(0.24\Omega)\\R'=33.12\Omega
