Explain the concept of energy conversion as applied to the generation of electricity also known as electrical energy.

1 answer:

postnew [5]3 years ago

7 0

Answer:

Electrical energy is energy derived as a result of movement of electrons. When used loosely, electrical energy refers to energy that has been converted from electric potential energy. ... Once converted from potential energy, electrical energy can always be called another type of energy (heat, light, motion, etc.).

Identify each picture as either an inelastic collision or elastic collision

Ivan

Answer:

<u>Inelastic collision:</u>

A collision in which there is a loss of Kinetic Energy due to internal friction of the bodies colliding.

<u>Characteristics of an inelastic collision:</u>

<em>the momentum of the system is conserved</em>
<em>the momentum of the system is conservedloss of kinetic energy</em><u> </u>

<em>I</em><em>n</em><em> </em><em>a perfectly elastic collision</em><em>, the two bodies </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>collide with each other stick together.</em>

<u>Elastic </u><u>collision</u><u>:</u>

A collision in which the kinetic energy of the two bodies, before and after the collision, remains the same.

<u>Characteristic</u><u>s</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>elastic</u><u> </u><u>collision</u><u>:</u>

<em>the</em><em> </em><em>momentum</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>system</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>conserved</em>
<em>no</em><em> </em><em>loss</em><em> </em><em>o</em><em>f</em><em> </em><em>kinetic</em><em> </em><em>energy</em>

In everyday life, no collision is perfectly elastic.

ANSWER:

<u>Given examples:</u>

Two cars colliding with each other form an example of inelastic collision.

<u>Reason:</u>

<em>(</em><em>T</em><em>hey</em><em> </em><em>lose</em><em> </em><em>kinetic</em><em> </em><em>energy</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>come</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>stop</em><em> </em><em>after</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>collision</em><em>.</em><em>)</em>

A ball bouncing after colliding with a surface is an example of elastic collision

<u>Reason:</u>

<em>(a very less amount of kinetic energy is lost)</em>

Wilma can mow a lawn in 80 minutes. Rocky can mow the same lawn in 120 minutes. Construct an equation that would allow you to de

xeze [42]

Answer:

$t = 96 minutes$

Explanation:

Time to mow 1 lawn by Wilma is 80 minutes

so work done in 1 minute by Wilma is given as

$W_1 = \frac{1}{80}$

Similarly Rocky mow same lawn in 120 minute

so work done in 1 minute by Rocky is given as

$W_2 = \frac{1}{120}$

now we know that they both worked by "t" time

so total work performed by them

$W = \frac{t}{80} + \frac{t}{120}$

they both mow 2 lawns then it is given as

$2 = (\frac{1}{80} + \frac{1}{120})t$

$t = 96 minutes$
