Answer:

Chemical energy

Explanation:

Chemical energy is energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules. Batteries, biomass, petroleum, natural gas, and coal are examples of chemical energy. Chemical energy is converted to thermal energy when people burn wood in a fireplace or burn gasoline in a car's engine.

The 1.5kg ball is launched straight upward with an initial velocity of 7m/s. What is the maximum height it will reach?

Temka [501]

Answer:

h = 2.5 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a ball, m = 1.5 kg

Initial velocity of the ball, u = 7 m/s

We need to find the maximum height reached by the ball. Let it is be h. Using the conservation of energy to find it such that,

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2\\\\h=\dfrac{u^2}{2g}$

Put all the values,

$h=\dfrac{7^2}{2\times 9.8}\\\\=2.5\ m$

So, it will reach to a height of 2.5 m.

An iron nail is driven into a block of ice by a single blow of a hammer. The hammerhead has a mass of 0.5 kg and an initial spee

larisa [96]

Answer:

The ice melts mass is:

$m_g=7.6x10^{-3} g$

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy

$K_E = 1/2*m*v^2$

$K_E = 1/2*0.5kg*(3.2m/s)^2$

$K_E=2.56 kg*m^2/s^2$

Heat gained by ice= mass(g) x 80 cal

( 1 cal = 4.184 *10^7er or g cm^2/ sec^2)

Assuming no loss in heat, in the motion so both continue with temperature 0~C

To find so the mass (gm) of ice melted

$m_g= 1/2 *(0.5*1000)*(3.2m/s)^2* 100*100 / (80*4.184*10^7)$

$m_g=7.6x10^{-3} g$

Which of the following is not a part of the modern theory of evolution?

telo118 [61]

Answer:

Explanation:

D) Evolution proceeds in the direction desired by members of a generation is not the modern theory of evolution.

Evolution can not proceed in the direction as desire by the members of the generation as No matter how hard you and your friends wish that your children will be born with the ability to fly unassisted, the kids will have to use airlines like the rest of us. All the rest of these contribute to evolution
