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.

A projectile is launched from ground level at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal. Neglect air resistance and consider t

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

just before landing the ground

Explanation:

Let the velocity of projection is u and the angle of projection is 30°.

Let T is the time of flight and R is the horizontal distance traveled. As there is no force acting in horizontal direction, so the horizontal velocity remains constant. Let the particle hits the ground with velocity v.

initial horizontal component of velocity, ux = u Cos 30

initial vertical component of velocity, uy = u Sin 30

Time of flight is given by

$T = \frac{2u Sin\theta }{g}$

Final horizontal component of velocity, vx = ux = u Cos 30

Let vy is teh final vertical component of velocity.

Use first equation of motion

vy = uy - gT

$v_{y}=u_{y}- g \times \frac{2u Sin\theta }{g}$

$v_{y}=u Sin 30 - 2u Sin 30$

vy = - u Sin 30

The magnitude of final velocity is given by

$v = \sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2}}$

$v = \sqrt{\left (uCos 30 \right )^{2}+\left (uSin 30 \right )^{2}}$

v = u

Thus, the velocity is same as it just reaches the ground.

the weight of a body is more at polar regions of the earth than that at the equatorial regions? why give reason

ella [17]

Answer:

The weight of an object at the Earth's South Pole is slightly more than its weight at the Equator because the polar radius of the Earth is slightly less than the equatorial radius. Though the mass of an object remains constant, its weight varies according to its location.

algol13

Answer:

Ea = 112500[J]

Eb = 87500[J]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the principle of energy conservation which tells us that the energy of a body plus the work done or applied by the body equals the final energy of a body.

This can be easily visualized by the following equation:

$E_{A}+E_{friction}=E_{B}$

Now we must define the energies at points A & B.

<u>For point A</u>

At point A we only have kinetic energy since it moves at 15 [m/s]

So the kinetic energy

$E_{A}=\frac{1}{2}*m*v_{A}^{2} \\E_{A}=\frac{1}{2} *1000*(15)^{2} \\E_{A}=112500[J]$

The final kinetic energy can be calculated as follows:

$112500-25000=E_{B}\\E_{B}=87500[J]$
